Hegseth's tattoos got a lot of attention, but of course he denied they were racist. What probably should have gotten more attention: He belongs to a church that teaches slavery was the pinnacle of race relations. dougwilsonbelieves.com/beliefs/sout...

A 4 Star General, a fighter pilot with 3000 flight hrs, 130 of them in combat. Commands in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Yes. A Black man. Too “woke” for this administration because he thought we’re stronger together: Choose Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility over power mad dividers.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

The latest House Republican budget proposal is atrocious: $880 BILLION slashed from Medicaid. Seniors, low-income families and children would lose their healthcare. Why? So billionaires like Musk can get another tax break.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

The most I feel I can protect myself at this point is to freeze my credit report. This admin and “department” is so sketchy.

The super fun part of being pregnant during all this craziness is wondering if anxiety for the country is causing my heart palpitations or if there’s actually a medical reason. Anyway, have a follow-up with my cardiologist on Monday. 😅

Is the lack of mass protests to this administration because nobody knows what’s going on? Or because there’s a legitimate fear of peaceful protesters being shot and/or deported?

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Authoritarianism is not merely a matter of state control, it is something that eats away at who you are. It makes you afraid, and fear can make you cruel. It compels you to conform and to comply and accept things that you would never accept ... — @sarahkendzior.bsky.social
