Not "descending into fascism" we are HERE!

If you ever want Americans to not know things, you hide it in a book. If you want Americans who will change the world to know how, you put it in a book.

1/ I was reading an investigative piece about Viktor Orban's party scrambling before Hungary's 2026 elections. Buried in it was something that stopped me cold. His team was panicking because social media companies had changed how they operate in the EU. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

It's maddening to me how Republicans who are now Dems come in fighting to change the party to fit their Republican interests but didn't have the guts to stay in their own party and fight for their Republican interests because the party changed under Trump. But the moment Trump is gone, so are they.

Dear Anna Paulina Luna,

The Enumeration Beyond Entry program, which issues SSNs to LEGAL noncitizens, was launched in 2017 UNDER DONALD TRUMP to streamline work authorization for eligible immigrants.

In less than a year, Trump erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A | Fortune The CBO estimates that benefit reductions would start at 8% in 2040 and steadily climb to a 10% cut by 2056.

Twelve years stolen from Medicare’s future.

Money collected from workers, promised to the elderly.
Reassigned to those who already have too much.

trump's wealthy donor tax cuts are literally killing us.

The hunger at the top is never satisfied, it only asks who will be trimmed next.

"Doing your own research" doesn't mean finding an influencer you like to agree with your worldview.

Actual research follows the scientific method of data gathering and analysis of which READING is a critical part. If there's one thing we know a LOT of ppl don't like to do, it's read!

"Silent defiance" won't cut it, Hakeem.

Every Dem should give their seat to an Epstein survivor or a victim of ICE and attend the alternative programming. THAT would send a message, Leader Jeffries, not sitting there and saying nothing before a man who expects you to do exactly that!!!

I love this. When docs found a lump in my breast in November, they told me to wait 6 months to retest and I said "NO, that's how Black women die!" I found a new doc, and the lump was removed, benign, and the surrounding tissue is healthy! Please be vigilant! You are your own best advocate!
