Weaponized politicized COVID-19 abatement killed. Weaponized politicized religion masquerading as science kills, or worse, women. Profiteering robs all USA of evidence based med recomm. Weaponized, politicized pseudoscience & illiteracy used against LGBTQIA+. Intersex can't fly by their rules.

"Republicans" wanted to starve poor people, SNAP recipients. Starvation as extortion for the holidays. "Republicans" wanted to end the ACA. Never offered an alternative idea. The ACA was the negotiated compromise with "Republicans". Democrats wanted FDR's idea of Medicare for all.

This.

Remember ACA is the compromise that Democrats made with Republicans. What Democrats knew would work, since FDR came up with it, was expanding Medicare to all people. That is what nations all around the world found a way to implement. "Repubs"plan is everyone die if you aren't rich or healthy.

Our fight against fascism doesn't belong to a political party. We, the people, are battling for democracy 50501

You will know them by their actions.

Note: All Democratic run states released SNAP payments. All "Republican" led states did not release SNAP payments in full, in part, or not at all.

Democrats, most of whom work, represent & are the people, have their parameters set by billionaires' mouthpieces. Billionaire funded criminals are reaching their goal of corrupting every part of gov to work against the people and for the rich, legalizing, codifying, & advancing total criminality.

Pretty much sums it up.

When Biden won the presidency in 2020, Rump, claimed that he won instead. Rump is pardoning those who conspired with him, lied for him, broke laws for him, in his effort to illegally steal that election from Biden.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is calling on the IRS to prevent student-loan borrowers from facing a "tax bomb" on debt relief beginning next year.

Rump pardoned more conspirator criminals. Rump is simultaneously abusing the justice system, persecuting anyone who chose the Constitution, rule of law, and rights over criminality for his benefit. Rump is using Americans tax dollars, gov, to extort Americans to cede all power to the coup.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Woah. As an advocate for people with disabilities I call this human rights abuse! People with disabilities are vulnerable and need protection from ICE. This truly is a crime.

Just a reminder that FDR wanted expanded Medicare for all. The people who serve only the interests of the rich allowed this bigoted, predatory, profiteering that has been weaponized against everyone, especially the poor.

Appeasement never works. Appeasing a monster does not tame them, it emboldens them.

Hunger is not a good strategy if you want to maintain the peace and your base… “There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy” — Alfred Henry Lewis Makes you wonder if that’s their goal.

Peter Thiel, who is crazy, wants Curtis Yarvin's "soft genocide" to reduce the population, so they can create fiefdoms called "Freedom Cities." That's freedom as in 'free from democracy.' Those dystopian novels where there's a city that has technology and is surrounded by wasteland? Yeah, that.

🚨 BREAKING: DJT pardoned Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Boris Epshteyn, John Eastman, Mark Meadows - and 72 others allegedly associated with the effort to challenge the 2020 election results.

Fascism in USA: Intersex people are not allowed to travel out of America, because a new law forcing the choice of male or female at birth on identification. This was masterminded by a hate and science denial cult masquerading as religious people. Ironically calling themselves " conservative".

8 Democrats voted to hurt Americans even worse than Americans could possibly imagine. They made "Republican" forms of torture of Americans easier. To make the plunder of the gov for the rich possible. Med insurance is what the shut down was for. Now, no leverage. No ACA. No poor fed. Rich richer

MAGA Will Rule or Ruin A roundup of the latest developments in America’s authoritarian crisis: How the Trumpists plan to bring down the Republic – and how they might react to electoral defeat. New piece:

Not a lawyer, or legal scholar. USA has a costitution, laws, rights, and strict rules for what the ruler is allowed because of our history with a tyrannical ruler that we deposed. We allow law enforcement agencies enforcement privileges within the confines of our laws.

In SNAP appeal, Trump administration says it faces more harm than people who can't buy food: ANALYSIS - ABC News share.google/tDnEmgwTg2lg...

Who in the F do these "Republicans" think they are? Every Democrat represents people who put them in office to negotiate on their behalf. The audacity of "Republicans" to say we won't open gov if we must negotiate with the people's reps. Not swearing in the people's reps as extortion. The gall

What is normal behavior for federal law enforcement is to send a notification in the mail. They don't race through American streets bothering people on their way to work, or busting in doors abducting people. This is not normal. Criminality in our federal employees is not normal.

ICE is now at food banks in Chicago. I just can’t with this cruelty. It’s relentless. Fucking monsters and goons.

A recent essay, “The Great Feminization,” posits that the growing influence of women is harming U.S. institutions. @sophiegilbert.bsky.social argues that the real problem facing American culture is quite different:

Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin reminds every Democrat of the strength of the progressive wins. Call your Congresspeople, Senators and tell Democrats to stand firm on the shutdown. Republican ideas lost very big. Abuse of LGBTQIA+ lost. Anti choice, anti woman lost. Fascism, abuse of power lost.

Heather Cox Richardson reminds us that starting a building project, including a bunker, before winter, to remember to follow the money. Far more money is coming in than appears to be needed. From who? What is the quid pro quo? Will anything be built at all? What happens to the excess funds?

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

After Zohran’s win, if Dems reorient their party back to New Deal-style populism and genuinely combat the corporations and billionaires ruining everyone’s lives, then this moment of discontent across the country could have staying power — and be a positive force.

Analysis of health records from nearly 14 million children indicates that COVID-19 infection carries a higher and longer-lasting risk of rare heart complications than vaccination.

The Republicans have a mandate to destroy the middle class. The middle class defends its own interests. Middle-class women no longer need men. Middle-class people will not defer to the rich. Middle-class people could afford housing, insurance, etc., even on a min wage if it were $30perhour.
