There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Rebrand Trump’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ as ‘Alligator Auschwitz’, take control of the narrative, don't let the fascists define themselves and drive home that this is nothing less than a concentration camp. #3E #EndImpunity #StopICE
Trump White House ai image reversed to represent true nature, Alligators dresses as Nazis infront of a US concentration camp. Fence and barbwire.

The Senate is currently debating over Trump’s Tax Scam before moving to vote-a-rama and a final vote. We need GOP senators’ phones to be ringing off the hooks: indivisible.org/resource/cal... And when their voicemails fill up, use this tool to send an email: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...
TRUMP'S TAX SCAM IS A DISASTER
SENATE REPUBLICANS' RECONCILIATION BILL:

Forces nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the largest cut to the life-saving program ever by a factor of FOUR

Gives ICE a larger budget than many militaries around the world

Strips healthcare away from 5% of Americans

Kicks 11.8 million people off SNAP benefits

Not only cuts funding for green energy but actually taxes it, threatening to balloon energy costs and eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs

Represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in US history

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged. Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by our economy? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

This was the point in the @propublica.org story on pricey cancer drug Revlimid where i got angry. The price has gone up 26 TIMES since 2006. Yet, @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social found a deposition where a top exec admits the drug has ALWAYS cost just $.25 to make. www.propublica.org/article/revl...
Chart titled "The Price of Revlimid Has Increased 26 Times Since FDA Approval"
It shows each price increase for the drug since 2006, when it sold for $280/pill, to its most recent price increase to $892/pill.

Below the chart is text from the story that reads:
"The cost to manufacture each Revlimid pill, meanwhile, was 25 cents. I found a deposition marked 'highly confidential' in which a top Celgene executive testified that the cost started at a quarter and never changed."

Never forget.
Title reads: "It Didn't Start with Gas Chambers." Text below reads: "It started with one party controlling the media. One party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and controlling the opposition. One party dividing citizens into "us" vs "them" and calling on their supporters to harrass "them". Below it states: "It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen." Beneath the text is a picture of Nazi Germany.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.
