There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand.

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway.

I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

New evidence suggests Trump’s presidency is failing by his own standards
Between the trade deficit, federal spending and oil drilling, the president is falling far short on the metrics he cares about the most.

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

Republicans lie should be widely recognized like death & taxes.
Reminder: When Republicans say they “won’t touch Medicaid,” that is a LIE.

Here’s their latest attempt to cut benefits—without taking responsibility.

TL;DR: They want to shift Medicaid costs to states without the money to cover them. People will lose coverage.

Republicans consider unraveling a key part of Obamacare in Trump agenda bill
The chair of the House committee overseeing health care policy said they're looking at unwinding the federal promise to cover 90% of the 2010 law's Medicaid expansion.

Paramount, the owner of CBS, has been accused of meddling in reporting being done by 60 Minutes.

Why?

It needs approval from Trump's FCC to be acquired by Skydance — a media company founded by the son of billionaire Trump-backer Larry Ellison.

Always follow the money.
And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

There are a lot of people trying to convince white women that a descent into fascism will be good for them, especially if they’re in close proximity to powerful white men.

But the opposite is true. The white patriarchal family is a space of violence.
