I agree 100% with this. What I have witnessed, despite the atrocities being committed by this administration, there is no condemnation, acknowledgment or repudiation. They continue to believe the lies, spread the lies, and think this is a fucking game. They’ve destroyed lives — including their own
It’s time for people of faith, morality, and conscience to hold the people in our lives accountable for their willing partnership with this filth.
We may need to sever ties with our family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who still champion him.

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 DC military parade looked sad
The video described by Rolling Stone sums it up:
"Though rock music blared on TV, the parade itself was eerily quiet. One video…shows tanks squeaking past nearly silent crowds, sounding like a grocery cart in need of grease."

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Donald Trump ran on getting us out of wars and stopping American dollars from fueling other people’s conflicts. Now he wants us to seize Gaza, displace millions of Palestinians, and turn it into his personal Middle Eastern Riviera—and he’s willing to send U.S. troops to make it happen.

This is 100% correct. Trump is disarming the DOJ as we speak. Through the courts, the state AGs have some leverage to act against the improper government incursion by Elon Musk and his minions. I wrote AG Bonta of CA today. I urge you to write your AG. Now.
EVERY CITIZEN file a complaint online with your states Attorney General. Here’s your prompt
DOGE’s overreach is alarming. Illegally accessing private data via the Treasury Department demands immediate investigation. Regardless of partisan loyalties, this should concern us all.
