In case y'all haven't heard about this, Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are holding a livestreamed sit-down on the steps of the US Capitol. A small crowd has gathered to listen, but I bet we could get that crowd to be much bigger.

Trump's incompetence is everywhere. His regime can’t keep military secrets. It can’t maintain financial stability. It can’t protect children from measles. While we resist Trump’s authoritarianism, we also need to highlight his utter inability to govern America.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe, vulnerable, and alone. But when we find ourselves surrounded by courageous people and brave institutions, we can more easily find courage inside ourselves. This is the beauty of solidarity.

🧵1 My favorite protest of the day💙 They’ve lived through history—and now they’re making it. 85 elders from the Quadrangle in Haverford, PA, some in their 90s, stood tall to say: No Kings! Their target? Trump’s authoritarian rise. Their message? Cont’d share.inquirer.com/a7mYfn

In a competitive global economy, we need the best educated workforce in the world - doctors, nurses, dentists, plumbers, welders, electricians, etc. Young people should not have to go deeply into debt to get the education they and our nation need. We must make public colleges tuition free.

The IRS launched its own tax filing program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. Tax prep companies like Intuit lobbied for years to stop the IRS from doing this. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Now Trump is gutting the program. Hello?

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?
