Thou shalt not call yourself “the law and order party” when your leader is a convicted felon who constantly pardons criminals in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.

American presidents were once proud to champion equal rights for women, and basic civil rights for other persecuted groups. Now, the American president ignores all that to surround himself with opulent flattery while giddily doling out weapons and surveillance tech to human rights offenders.

A direct consequence of living on a finite planet with 8 billion people via an extractive economic model that does not require a multi-talented, close-knit community. But I'd call it passive-aggressive eugenics. Make it on your own, or else, is the underlying idea www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
Maga’s era of ‘soft eugenics’: let the weak get sick, help the clever breed
At the heart of all Trump administration policies is ‘soft eugenics’ thinking – the idea that if you take away life-saving services, then only the strong will survive

Trump’s Science Cuts Will Be Felt for Generations
Mindless slashing at NSF won’t just harm the scientific enterprise today—it will damage discovery and innovation for years to come.

The Trump administration is redefining America, and redefining what it means to be human. Are 70% of us really okay with this? Continue to contact your Congressperson and help someone that's never called or written their Congressperson to do it, too. Raise our voices to demonstrate our power.

Budget balancing talk is NOT doing it. Neither the Republican budget blueprint nor Elon's cuts will do it. The more effective route is to eliminate the taxable maximum on SS, decrease defense and increase the corporate tax rate, for starters. Do the math! us.abalancingact.com/federal-budg...

NEW: While investigative journalists immerse themselves in minutiae to identify waste and fraud, Elon Musk’s team has taken a chainsaw approach to spending based on cursory examinations.

Here's the case for impeachment, a long, growing list, as well as a petition calling for impeachment. Signing adds your email to "Free Speech for the People", a 501(c)(3), tax-deductible organization. You can unsubscribe, and donations are not required. Prod Congress too!

IMPEACH TRUMP. AGAIN.
Impeach Trump. Sign the petition NOW to defend democracy and demand accountability! He is disqualified from office, and has violated the U.S. Constitution.

Congress needs to impeach Trump. Members who do not impeach aid and abet sedition, abandon oaths and constituents. Keep making this case with Representatives. For each other, increase self-reliance/resilience and create networks for mutual aid and support. Call on charitable foundations to help.

Blue states should really ramp up charitable giving for research grants and non-profit services in areas such as health, climate, energy, food, safety.

Who's tracking the jobs lost in federal offices in your county? In your Congressional District? Is that information getting to your district's representative in Congress? If not, find a way to get that information and make it known to them.

Unforgiveable U.S. treatment of Ukrainians under Trump/Vance/Republicans. Until yesterday, it was un-American. Republicans still standing around the bloody stage, fist-pumping, grunting and throbbing, the stage where Trump/Vance castrated Z on live TV, in front of the world, Putin's media filming.
