He would be reminding us that silence is compliance. He would be asserting that the Constitution begins with the words “We the people”…

You have $100 in your checking account.
One day, you check your balance and it's $60. You haven't made any withdrawals.
You call the bank. They say $40 was taken as part of their "waste, fraud and abuse" program.
Would you be ok with it?
Coz it's happening to your social security and Medicaid.

Don't let Trump spin you, he backed down on the Mexican tariffs when the market dropped out, GOP electeds finding a backbone to complain, and the WSJ calling it the "dumbest trade war in history".
Trump blinked and embarrassed himself plain and simple.

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!
What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

Tommy Tuberville held up military promotions over abortions.
Until Musk sits before them and provides answers, Democrats need to hold up confirmation of Trump's cabinet until DOGE and Musk explain exactly what they're doing.

I think it would better, instead of adopting the MAGA framing, to call out specifically what they are saying. They are not blaming “DEI.” They are blaming Blacks, other minorities, women, and people with disabilities. It’s called scapegoating.

I don't know if anyone else has been following the Republican FL Legislature absolutely eviscerating DeSantis this week. They've said he's anti-LEO and anti-farmers. Tough words from former allies of his. They have held their power as an equally powerful branch of government. 🧵

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.
