As much as Trump wants to appear all-powerful, he is an unpopular lame-duck president who just signed into law the worst piece of legislation in modern American history.
But we don’t just have to sit back and take it. Instead, we choose to organize.

Spot on. This is the Democratic way, we take care of others.
Republicans take care of themselves, even when it hurts the most vulnerable.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

Major shoutout to local National Weather Service offices who have issued literally hundreds and hundreds of tornado / severe thunderstorm / flood warnings in just the past 36 hours alone. Most offices are doing this amid staff shortages.
SPC / WPC teams doing amazing work, too.
Scientists matter.
