The MAGAts mistake cruelty for toughness - and their propaganda machine has been instilling and nurturing this attitude for decades. Trump is the end result of a life without suffering or consequences.

The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities. Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

action.aclu.orgCongress: Save Medicaid NowPoliticians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

America's Russia policy is a failure of critical thinking and foresight: This persistent inability to appreciate the thinking exposed by another great power is especially striking given that Russia’s policies have not changed at all since the days of Ivan the Terrible or even earlier.

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

APIAVote@apiavote.bsky.social

On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

I may be afraid. And I am open about my fear. Because I am human. But fear has never stopped me from doing anything. All of this is absolutely terrifying. That’s exactly why we all need to do what we can to stop it. And bitches that aint doing shit wont ever lecture me

worth saying again these these unilateral cuts are illegal. neither trump nor musk has the authority to unilaterally slash appropriated funds.

Hearing that the DOGE chaos hurricane is hitting HUD soon, and the plan is to devastate federal housing funding. Let's be clear: this would cause a cascade of catastrophic impacts nationwide, shutting down housing and dumping families into the street.

Do NOT open your door for any authority unless they have a warrant — from a court, signed by a judge. NO warrant, NO entry. If they arrest you, you ALWAYS have the right to remain silent, even if they don’t read you any rights. The ONLY thing to say: “I want a lawyer.”

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

They are simply corrupt and liars and nothing they do should be trusted. America as we thought it was is dead, gone. This is going to get much much worse and I fear we won’t be able to crawl back. We are such an ignorant people and what we have left the next generation is gross. We have failed!

The Pentagon needs a budget cut, not a spending spree: Lawmakers are pushing to increase Pentagon spending by up to $500 billion, but this would accelerate our national debt and fail to address wasteful programs and inefficiencies.

Articles of impeachment need to be drawn up now! Musk needs to be barred from all government offices, his racist little brain farts as well! South African apartheid is not welcomed here! This is a civil war!
