A coalition of professors, diversity officers & restaurant worker advocates represented by Democracy Forward filed suit today to block Trump’s unlawful anti-DEIA actions. We'll continue using the power of the courts to challenge unlawful policies & fight to uphold decades of legal precedent. (1/3)

I want to say this, if you have family or friends with a Costco membership, start taking shopping trips together. Bulk buy and divvy up what y’all can. Fruit, meat, rice, etc. I know times have been tough, and they’re only getting tougher. Do not forget to lean on the right ones during this time 🩵

The Trump fascist plan:

Change the Constitution by executive fiat

Have Elon pillage the treasury

Fire anyone who might investigate you

Take over all media

Create an “enemy” like DEI to unify MAGA

And attack your opponents to quell dissent

“Now I realize he’s a total fascist”

Don’t look away, we must remember the violent attacks on the U.S. Capitol 4 years ago.

“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” -Faulkner
On January 6, 2021

Donald Trump attempted a coup

He lied about the election

Ginned up a “fake electors” scheme

Tried to coerce election officials into saying he won

Threatened his own VP

And dispatched MAGA thugs to attack the Capitol

140 Capitol Police were maimed

Several died

Never
Forget

If you’re someone who draws all day you NEED to get up and exercise your body in some way/shape or form. It’s almost non-negotiable.

“I have too many books”
-judgemental
-boring
-implies impulse-control issues

“The books... they have me.”
- mysterious
- occult
- implies you are at the mercy of a library of books that have gained sentience and are holding you hostage

Nearly every single Republican voted against releasing the Matt Gaetz ethics report.

Remember this the next time they pretend to care about protecting minors.

You can put lipstick on a pig, you can polish a turd, and you can put an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon in the Oval Office, it won't change who they are.

He will forever be a convicted felon.
A lame duck with no mandate.

Don't just give in to him.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Toronto. Every single Canadian I talk to I ask about healthcare. Each & every one of them LOVES it even if they have to wait for elective procedures.
Know why?!
Because it’s:
•NOT TIED TO EMPLOYMENT
•FREE
•EXCELLENT SERVICE
•DOES NOT BANKRUPT THEM
•HUMANE

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

When men rage, they blow and shoot things up and start wars.

When women rage, we create.

We knit, do embroidery and cross stitch. We create new things ... while we figure out how to fix the broken things.

DO NOT give your money to Jeff Bezos. He has plenty. Make a list of the books you want to buy as gifts and buy or order from a local bookstore...if you want those stores to continue to exist.
