Fascism is when a leader uses the power of the state to control or coerce private institutions—like Trump has tried to do with universities and private companies such as Apple. His attempts to dictate what schools can teach or how businesses should operate are textbook authoritarianism. Harvard

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.
And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Meet 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, a young girl from Texas whose life was tragically cut short.
She died by suicide after classmates threatened to call ICE on her family.
Stop dehumanizing immigrants.
That is not America.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

USDA fired staff working on bird flu & are rectifying the situation.
Bird Flu's hit dairy & poultry farms, it's why there's an egg shortage & high prices. Next, we're going to see meat shortages & high prices.
Hasn't Trump's first 30 days been great?🙄
