If you somehow can't see the very dark place where Trump is taking us, then get out of the way of those of us who want to preserve the country, our Democracy, and the values we hold dear.

The main theme for World AIDS Day 2025 is "Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response." World AIDS Day provides a vital platform to drive meaningful action. By promoting early testing, treatment access, and public education the observance helps challenge misinformation and social stigma.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Trump is STILL trying to deny SNAP benefits, even though several military families rely on these benefits and it’s reported that one million+ veterans use the program.
Trump and Republicans don’t value or respect our soldiers and they certainly don’t value working class Americans.
VOTE THEM OUT!

Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt.
Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like.
Deals with this regime are meaningless.

As grimy as the Trump administration is, making it harder to protect children with special needs is a level of despicable that proves there is no floor they won’t rip up on their path to hoard power.

Have you ever left the pharmacy because you couldn’t afford your medicine? That happened to me today.
Standing up for healthcare in the face of this shutdown is not about politics. This is literally about our ability to afford to live.

Tell the truth, shame the Donald.
While news is swirling about the shutdown, don’t let these big money politicians distract you with blatant lies and cruel deceit.
Take a moment to watch this, and then share it if you can.
