It's MY democracy, and I'm standing up for it. This is also YOUR democracy, and you need to stand up for it. If we don't, it will be taken from us.
Don't let fascist leaders limit our education. Always learn history and know when it's repeating itself.

Everything Donald Trump does can be boiled down to this: government should be run for a handful of billionaires and everyone else can just eat dirt.

The Trump administration wants to shut down all of Social Security over a ruling blocking 11 DOGE workers from sticking their fingers in your private data.
11 DOGE workers. 73 million Americans.
This is illegal. If it happens, will force millions of seniors into poverty.

Last year, NM imported ~$2.3B in goods from Mexico and $855 million in goods from Canada.
Food and housing costs are soaring. Trump’s tariffs will only make things more expensive for hard working New Mexicans.
Not to mention, it's throwing us into trade wars with some of our closest allies!

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

Key word: illegally. Don't let Trump restrict our CONSTITUTIONAL rights!
No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions.
In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment.
Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

If our country's leader is preventing the citizens from getting educated, then he knows that to be in power he needs uneducated supporters. We need to educate the American people and teach them history, because it looks a lot like it's repeating itself.
Donald Trump said he'd abolish the Department of Education, and that's exactly what he's doing.
If you send your kids to public school, Trump is sending you a clear message: he doesn’t care about you.
