We don’t have massive federal debt because of Social Security & Medicare. We have massive federal debt because the rich don't pay their fair share of taxes. Now R's want to make major cuts to SS to give rich people more tax breaks. #ProudBlue #HandsOffMyMedicaid #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

STATEMENT: “This Is The Move Of A Weak And Insecure Tyrant, Not A Strong Commander-in-Chief”

"Love your neighbor"

YES! A dictator NEEDS a loyal-to-him military.

“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” –Howard Zinn. I hate seeing my fellow Americans afraid. Remember your birthright my friends. This is our country, our government, the people’s, not theirs. Don’t be afraid. Speak your minds! Don’t ever give up your power.

The Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum says President Trump's dismantling of the U.S. civil service system, and his attacks on judges and his opponents, are part of a playbook on undermining democracy. 🎧 tinyurl.com/3w32xujf

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I think the most wrong I have ever been as a political scientist was when I said in a public forum in 2020 that there would not be political violence in the US (Jan 6 was 2 mos later). Tonight’s purges are a clear precursor to more future such violence. This is textbook authoritarian abuse stuff.

Let's say their names: * General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK * Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE * Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE All replaced by less qualified white guys.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

The case for X being a 1A state actor now is at least colorable. It is controlled by a government official, who uses it for government business, with no real boundary in practice between the government and his private interest in it. It is little different from if a .gov website allowed comments.

We no longer have to just assume that the DOGE deferred-resignation offers were untrustworthy:

"Only a revived faith in who we are, what we have been, what we have achieved can provide the energy, purpose, and direction to help us find the courage and determination to perpetuate our special democracy." It's over when we give up.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

#ProudBlue There are many House Republicans that don't want Medicaid cuts Millions of ppl will die Mike Johnson is obsessed with giving F47 anything but being Speaker means handling the president Reps must care about right and wrong Our job in this climate of injustice is to do the right thing

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.

Democratic Senators Schiff, Blumenthol, and Padilla are outside the FBI Headquarters to launch a major protest against Kash Patel’s vote: “He can’t do the job. He won’t protect the public. He’ll weaponize the FBI against Trump’s opponents.”

Right on, Senator!

Ukraine is our ally

Crockett on Trump's relatively high approval: We've gotta do better at education. People don't understand. But you will understand when your Medicaid goes away. You will understand when planes continue to fall out of the sky... maybe Sleepy Joe is what we wanted, bc we could at least sleep at night.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

And here we are.

AOC has the right idea. Corporate welfare costs us $92 billion, the top 1 percent will receive an average tax cut of more than $60,000 in 2025, and it is estimated that extending his 2017 tax cuts will cost $11 trillion over 10 years. Let’s work on getting rid of the waste that is already there.
