Republicans want to raise taxes on people making under $30K, cut their Medicaid and food aid, and then tell them to have more kids. 🤔 I worked at Subway and Target making just above minimum wage without health care. You think billionaires need more help than folks making less than them?

"Spiritual" people just keep scolding me, saying we shouldn't engage in Us Versus Them thinking right now. 
.
Here's my response:
.
For decades, i have worked to dissolve and discourage Us versus Them energy. It has been a cornerstone of my work. 
.
But during this red-alert emergency crisis, when the literal fate of every living thing on the planet is in jeopardy (not just the fate of Americans), it is irrelevant, distracting, and ultimately dangerous NOT to fight with all our might against the THEMs that are embodying, nourishing, and fomenting evil.
.
Us versus Them energy is appropriate and necessary.

Reminder the President has no inherent Constitutional power to declare tariffs. That power resides with Congress. Trump only has this power now because the GOP Congress handed it to him in an "emergency." There is no emergency. Republicans are entirely to blame for this.

Elon Musk is losing his mind over protests at Tesla dealerships. Why? His fortune is collapsing. Nearly all of it is Tesla stock. You know what to do, America. If you want to save our government from a coup, apparently the rebels’ weak spot is protesting and boycotting Tesla.
