The President and Vice President publicly mistreated and bullied an ally today…and the Republican Party is supporting it. When will people realize what is happening??

Just tried to email AG Bailey's (MO) office to oppose MO's involvement in Texas vs. Becerra (repealing 504). A few problems: 1) Character count is very low 2) Captcha not working no matter how many times I clicked I was not a robot. Had to call and work my way through to find a human.

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important
Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

I am DISGUSTED by Missouri's AG signing on to the Texas vs. Becerra lawsuit. Disgusted, yet not surprised. I am pushing my professional association to fight back and am working with my city to do the same. Setting precedents for responses, not relying on them.

Did some comparison this morning. MSNBC is covering the FBI firings, DOGE, and big dip in the stock markets. Fox is covering immigrant deportation and Netanyahu to the White House. Villain vs hero complex. No wonder people are divided and confused and don’t believe anything that is reported.

I am disgusted Trump said the D.C. plane crash may have been caused by DEI initiatives (his data on this "I have common sense.") He also blamed the California fires on DEI initiatives. I believe he has "blamed" DEI for many things and will continue to do so to fire up his racist base.

Medicaid was not supposed to be impacted by the great "pause". However, the portal that state Medicaid offices use to process payments is currently closed. So...how is Medicaid not impacted again?

As a mother of boys, I am legitimately concerned for battles & wars & physical fights to come. As an aunt to girls, I remain terrified for their personal health and safety. As a woman standing for democracy, time to take care of myself and improve my own physical fitness. Lots of marching ahead.

Remember: It can be sad. It can be tragic. It can be disgusting and depressing and discouraging. But it doesn’t have to mean this is who we are now. It’s what our country is doing right now and that’s not the same as who we are. Who we are isn’t up to him.

This is not an autism gesture or stim (Asperger’s isn’t a diagnosis anymore). This is a Nazi salute. Twice. People try to excuse away so many awful behaviors and act like we don’t understand what our eyes see. Stay vigilant and believe what you see.
