Destroy the little bit of a safety net we still provide as you give more money to those who already have it, all while giving unprecedented funding to federal law enforcement in the midst of a president seeking to unconstitutionally and illegally use federal law enforcement.

i feel it is worth pointing out that Christians United For Israel, a single maniacal christian zionist organization, has more members than there are jews in the united states
Interfaith Action for Palestine is demonstrating against Christians United for Israel again in a couple of weeks and I feel like this is going to come up a lot

ActBlue is basically Venmo for political donations. It’s a payment processor that:
~ securely moves $
~ doesn’t decide where the $ goes (the user does)
~ processes the transaction, like Venmo helps move $ to friends
Trump isn’t fighting fraud. Just your ability to participate.

Not just deserve. Weather monitoring, disease management, and food safety are services we pay for from the government that are being stolen from us.

Hey: If you made it through the week, and you tried to do some things to help other people — large or small — where you could, and you need to hear it, I’m here to tell you thank you. Get some rest. Figure out today, then figure out tomorrow.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

I dunno, seems like they could be getting ready to fund the massive network of local, regional, and national non-profits we'll need to provide basic services to people once the federal agency infrastructure has been trampled.
What’s a Democratic Billionaire to Do Now?
The party’s donor class is still wrestling with Donald Trump’s victory, worried about retribution and sluggish liberal energy. Some rich Democrats are even pondering leaving the country.
