Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Evidence You Might Be In A Cult You follow one charismatic Leader. In your Leader’s mind, your Leader can do no wrong. In your mind, your Leader can do no wrong. Your Leader demonizes dissidents & outsiders. Loyalty's the ultimate measure of your devotion. You don't know you're in a Cult

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

I'm somewhat sympathetic to random voters about this issue. The media (including the NYTimes itself) often described the candidates' stance on immigration upside-down, even crediting Biden's "secure the border and go after gangs" policy to Trump, and hiding Trump's "go after random people" strategy

"Getting rid of USAID is a very easy way of winning headlines... But if your one accomplishment in government is to rip funds away from the neediest, so that they can die, so they can be unmedicated, so that they can starve, that is a moral stain that I hope will haunt you 'til the day you die."

People are pissed this morning because we exposed Peter Thiel. We’re under constant attack, but that’s expected. The greatest threat to the Trump administration is an informed public. That’s why they rely on secrecy and distraction. But we won’t look away.

Don't spend one minute feeling sorry for the law firms that capitulated. They prioritized their own profits over the rule of law, decency and democracy. They deserve the ridicule and scorn they are now receiving. History will remember them for the cowards they are.

Hands Off Public Schools! Public schools are the heart of our communities — where every child deserves a safe, well-funded, and honest education. Extremist agendas have no place in our classrooms. We trust our educators. We value facts. We demand investment, not interference.

🛑 Hands Off Public Schools I’m Not Falling for the GOP Scam. Are you? 📌 “Republicans care about public schools” – That’s why they’re banning books and slashing budgets, right? 📌 “Trump’s just cutting waste and fraud” – If you believe that, you haven’t been paying attention 🧵

Tucked inside the House GOP tax bill? A massive national voucher program. $5B/year in tax credits to subsidize private & religious schools—$20B over 4 years. Public money, zero oversight. A backdoor defund of public education masked as “choice.” Hands Off Public Schools

Democratic Congressional offices should be holding trainings on resistance under authoritarian governments if they're not doing it already. They should also be calling in state police, National Guard and other security forces to protect them. We're already there.

Education funding should not be used as a piggy bank to defund our already underfunded public schools. The bill includes $20 billion for vouchers in the guise of a tax shelter for the well-off. Vouchers syphon crucial funds away from public schools into private hands. www.aft.org/press-releas...
