I’m really trying to come to terms with the fact that half the country would sell me out for cheaper eggs. And, the only reason they are mad now is because their eggs aren’t any cheaper.

did I think I would be facing this before week one was complete. I knew it was coming but the speed of it has me shook And still there are those that have no idea what is happening. Not sure if I want to throw up or go punch a Nazi.

Not one Democrat voted to confirm him but we are still F*cked. I am faced with the dilemma of leaving this frightening $hit hole of a country and half of its $hitty racist, misogynistic, fascist citizens or stay because I don’t want to leave the innocent ones behind. Never in my life did I think

I am not telling people not to pay taxes, obviously. But I am going to acknowledge here that as our government becomes more and more lawless, more and more people will ask the question below.
Billionaires are now stripping our government there. At what point will middle-class voters just...opt out?

AGAIN WHY SHOULD I PAY TAXES WHEN THE LAW DOESNT APPLY ANYMORE.
CNN reports that the January 6 criminals have been told they are invited to attend inaugural balls tonight. They are going to be released from the D.C. jail momentarily.
All are insurrectionists.

Literally nothing is as MAGA as watching a bunch of self-righteous frauds who pretend to give a damn about Christianity, viciously attacking a minister who preached about caring for the vulnerable while their rapist-felon messiah scoffed at her.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

As expected, Trump’s first day in office brought chaos. Immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and federal programs were all targeted in his first wave of executive orders—but not everything will stick. The Big Picture breaks it all down in this handy guide to Trump's most deplorable day one actions.

As we see these images of people crying at the border after the asylum system shut down, it is again worth considering how indescribably desperate a person must feel to travel with their children through the desert, across the water, or through the Darien Gap simply for the *possibility* of safety.

This.
No executive order has the power or the right to tell you who you are. F*ck that noise. Surround yourself with love, and when you’re ready, get back in this fight.

This is good. If you have a Dem governor who hasn't issued a statement like this, ask them why not?
Trump’s proposal to strip birthright citizenship from those born in this nation is unconstitutional.
In Illinois, we follow the law.
This is only the start of attempts to undermine the rule of law, and Illinoisans can count on me to stand against unconstitutional actions.
