An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.
Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.
Our duty is to stand up to brutality.
Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.
This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.
The system is broken.

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:
—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform
We don't have to live like this.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf.
Turning the military on citizens.
Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.
Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime.
If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific.
Violence like this has no place in a democracy.
I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH
He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested
Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

So, I think I know what our problem is. Because we’ve always believed so strongly in our democracy and in the “it can’t happen here” idea, we don’t know how to be proactive. We all knew all of this was coming but we waited. We chose to be reactive. And now, here we are.
