"History has already shown us how this story unfolds. Fascism is not built only in the camps and cells.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified. So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life. Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

Friends — something dramatic has happened over the last two weeks.

ICE IS DISAPPEARING PEOPLE TO WORK CAMPS

Hangover Hegseth: no more men in dresses! No beardos! Also Hegseth: welcome to our Air Force base in Idaho, your excellency

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
