The Trump-Republican healthcare plan. A picture is worth a thousand words indeed. Side note: if I faint, please call a doctor and not, oh I don’t know, Stephen Miller. 😱

Happy Halloween 🎃

It’s a sad day when a judge has to order the President of the United States to feed vulnerable families and hungry children with funds already designated for that very purpose.

On the bright side, Argentina’s stock market is doing great today after Trump gave them $40 billion. Meanwhile, Americans are expected to go hungry in just a few days.

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

People will starve, and Trump is too busy with his own corruption and graft to even give a damn! #eattherich

We appear to be in the eye of the clusterfuck

Gil Scott Heron was right: 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' ...because corporate media feed the 1% & ergo, they oppose the protests, so they will likely undercount & undercover the protests. The solution? Video the protests & post them all over social media! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwSR...

No Kings Chandler Arizona

No Kings Chandler was a success! 5,000 people showed up to support democracy! Organized by East Valley Unite, the powerful aerial message "NO KINGS IN THE USA" showed just how many people say "No Kings", even in suburban Arizona. #nokingschandler #nokings #eastvalleyunite @indivisible.org

Remember to include yourself in the list of things you need to take care of today ♥️

Sen. Murphy: This is a country that is falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it. I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy

Hope is about taking action in spite of it all. It's about saying: I will do my bit. And when we join together, those bits become a movement. -- Jane Goodall

This is a great video to explain Judge Perry’s recent ruling. She just handed Trump a civics lesson for the ages reminding him the military defends the Constitution, not his ego. Protests aren’t rebellion; they’re democracy’s heartbeat. 💗 #USDemocracy #Pinks
