I just spent 20 minutes calling these 10 representatives to express my disgust at them for aligning with Republicans to censure Congressman Al Green. It was cowardly and racist.  We are one country, and their actions impact all of us. Don’t limit yourself to just calling your representatives!

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway. And those who warned America about it were right.

Something to think about

“The man made the Nazi salute and to offer any plausible deniability means he and his followers can use that doubt and turn it against us, accusing us of overreacting or reading into things that aren’t there.”

Trump’s flood of Executive Orders is a cheap spectacle intended to distract us while his administration moves to gut our health care and SNAP benefits. Immigrant families aren’t the reason we can’t afford eggs or prescription drugs. Billionaire CEOs like Trump and his people are.

What the world thinks of us right now.

The “free speech defenders,” ladies and gentlemen.

What a beautiful reminder to still find moments of joy even in trying times.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Don’t let them blame, autism for all Elon’s weirdness. White supremacy is not a symptom of autism

DELETE IT and pass it on !!

Also, I’m not sure who needs to hear this but being a nazi is not a symptom of autism.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

This is why we no longer trust the mainstream media.

Trump just rescinded an Executive Order issued by President Biden to lower prescription drug costs for people in Medicare and Medicaid.

Can we please stop excusing and sane washing this blatant behavior. It wasn't a "delicate moment." He literally gave a Nazi salute. Twice!

For all of you who voted 3rd party or sat at home, is this what you wanted? Proud of yourselves?

When Republicans “claim to be the party of law and order, Americans should remember the day that [Trump] was willing to sacrifice the men and women of the thin blue line on the altar of his own ambitions,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes:

Donald Trump has always said elections are rigged. He's praised Hannibal Lecter. Doesn't know what asylum means. Says he's a stable genius. He says shit nonsense. If you want to chase conspiracies to comfort your fear and frustration, I won't be joining you. I'm focused on fighting 4 years of shit.

Donald Trump will be sworn in as US president today. The ceremony completes a triumphant comeback after surviving two impeachment trials, a felony conviction, two assassination attempts and an indictment for attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss reut.rs/4h1POSP

If healthcare is not a right, we are not a free nation. #MedicareForAll

This is a terrifying article that feels like a peek into our very near future. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Imagine trying to ride into office as some kind of savior to restore an app THAT YOU YOURSELF SOUGHT TO BAN IN THE FIRST PLACE. This is all political theater nonsense and no one should fall for it. TikTok has been extorted by the U.S. Government. We all sat here and watched it happen.

Our govt can't pass legislation for gun reform, universal healthcare, minimum wage, or anything else to actually help Americans, BUT they can ban a means of communication and info sharing. That is terrifying.

Guess I'll see what's happening over here until this app becomes a "threat to national security."
