Trump will be worse than we imagined. I love democracy and always thought we were progressing. Now? Love animals, baseball. Hate Christian nationalism and hypocrisy.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

The Heritage Foundation should be listed as a terrorist organization. If I was a Dem writing Project 2026 or 2028, I’d put that in there. I actually don’t think we have time to wait until 2028.

I don’t think we should have cushy prisons for anyone. How does the fact that they already had cushy lives and decided to rip people off in “white collar”crimes (operative word: white) make them deserving of Club Fed?Frigging Trump gave her a way to escape to a non extradition country.

I’m old enough to remember Tea partiers calling President Obama the Imperial president over executive orders. Also they made wearing a tan suit while being black a felony. 😛

North Carolina’s new voter plan could block more than 100,000 people from state/local races over “missing info.” It’s more than bad policy. It sets a precedent for two-tiered voting and could restrict full ballot access nationwide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Today the Israeli military hit a water distribution point in Nuseirat refugee camp. They murdered 6 Palestinian children & injured 17 more people. This will barely make mass headlines because Palestinian blood is expendable & the Israeli Govt is apparently exempt from international human rights law.

Anyone else think that ICE getting so much money and becoming our largest police force and the fact that Trump is demonizing Democrats in the same way he’s treated immigrants that we’re next? Certainly looks like they are paving the way for it.

I worked at Planned Parenthood. They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.   Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.
