Code Pink interrupted the Treasury secretary at a Washington restaurant in December and criticized the Trump

There's a labor action happening now in Seattle where ferry workers are unable to strike and so instead are calling a mass sick-out. A post sharing the article claiming this "mass sickness" was evidence of a secret covid wave by a lot of people on here who did not read the article

He very much treats them like they are his personal servants rather than government personnel with very specific duties to protect him. He doesn’t consider their needs at all—because that’s his immutable self.

He genuinely is not as bad as people think about him. He's not as greedy as Elon Musk, yet people online treat him like he's worse than Hitler and even go too far by sending death threats and justifying them! Death threats are never OK! I'll still show more support for him
