I’m going offline for a few days, so I can regain my sanity. Today’s news alone is the wtf of wtf’s. MSM chasing all the stupid baiting, when the real story is that the whole thing leads to a constitutional crises to take down our democracy. Wake up.

1/ My mother turned 80 last October. She lived through the era of JFK, the rise of civil rights, the USSR, and women’s rights. She has now witnessed the fall of all four, and the rise of a fascist US, and the empowerment of Russia. I have never witnessed such anger from her at her fellow Americans.

Elon Musk spent $40 million in Super Bowl ads to attack USAID. Tell Congress that for pennies on the dollar, foreign aid is a deal we can’t afford to lose. Call your members of Congress and demand action. Here’s the number to call: (202)224-3121 Please pass it on. Save Foreign Aid.

Buried in Trump’s freeze on federal funding was a direct attack on election security: $55 million in Election Security Grants. It's an assault on election independence that appears rooted in Project 2025. The courts blocked it (for now), but the threat is far from over. ⬇️

it’s hard not to feel disillusioned when reporting all the flagrantly illegal and terrifying things this government is doing somehow doesn’t fully break through to the mainstream. it feels like cable news and corporate media made a deal to convince people to keep calm and carry on.

NOW would be a great time to have a VERY PUBLIC and VERY LOUD response from Congressional Democrats on Elon Musk's unchecked takeover of our federal government...

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

The biggest problem—and Elonald's greatest advantage—is that almost no one knows this Constitutional Coup is happening now, let alone how illegal it is. That alone won't change anything, but it is the first step to taking this on.

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

While attention is focused on Trump, watch what the House GOP are up to. The SAVE Act, a massive voter suppression bill (not voter fraud prevention. ) The GOP is using this bill as a Trojan horse to restrict voting rights and maintain their power. #StopTheSAVEAct

🚨We promised our men and women in uniform: if you serve and get hurt, we will care of you. The incoming Trump administration has made clear they'll dishonor that promise. VoteVets MG(Ret.)Paul Eaton lays it out on The ReidOut: "It is not a bipartisan issue. It is a VERY partisan Republican issue."

I am so saddened by this. Jimmy Carter is the first president I can remember. I remember my mom talking about him with fondness. I remember "voting" for him in grade school. I will forever remember his kindness, that is his legacy. #PresidentCarter www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

🚨Trump's already showing us that he's intending on following through with Project 2025, which means dismantling Veterans' healthcare. This is not only a betrayal, but dangerous to the lives and well-being of those who’ve served. Please read and share this critical information!
