You all should read this book to understand the diverse nexus of right wing players and funders that are actively committed to undoing our democracy for sake of power, money and ideology.

Food costs, health care and housing costs, are already at an all-time high.

Instead of working to lower these expenses, Republicans want to give billionaires and big corporations yet another tax break.

That’s just not right.

NEW: We joined over 160 organizations in sending a letter to Congress demanding they reject the Defund Our Communities Act.

This bill would allow critical federal funding to be cut from hundreds of cities and states if they refuse to carry out the president's radical deportation agenda.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

A quote from an article by Timothy Snyder titled "What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?" published in The New Yorker. The quote reads: "It is predictable ... that he will give free rein to the oligarchs who, he knows, will continue to generate the social and digital bases of a politics of us and them. It is predictable that, in returning to power, he will seek to change the system so that he can remain in power until death. It is predictable that he will use deportations to divide us, to accustom us to violence, and to make accomplices of us. It is predictable that he will create a cult out of the martyrs of January 6th. It is predictable that he will cooperate with similarly minded rulers abroad."

Timothy Snyder is an expert of modern authoritarianism.

New Immigration and Customs Enforcement data shows administration isn’t just arresting criminals The number of immigrants in ICE detention went from 39,238 in early February to 41,169 in mid-February.

During FY2024, under President Biden, 28% of immigration arrests were of people who had no criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.

In Februrary, under President Trump, it's 41%.

The Targeted Chaos of Trump’s Attacks Against International Human Rights Law and Justice | ACLU Donald Trump has positioned his administration to launch one of the most abusive and aggressive assaults on human rights in U.S. presidential history.

By ordering sanctions against the ICC and defunding a UN refugee agency, the Trump Administration has already launched some of the most anti-human rights policy of any presidential administration.

Donald Trump Wants To Take Over The World
YouTube video by The Warning with Steve Schmidt Donald Trump Wants To Take Over The World

As Trump meets with India's PM and JD Vance & Pete Hegseth give speeches abroad, it's clear Trump wants to push his MAGA rhetoric around the globe. I break down the horrifying moments from these media appearances and explain why they can't be ignored.

Trump and the GOP are counting on Democrats to play by the old rules while they bulldoze democracy. But the real power of the Senate isn’t just in votes β€” it’s in procedural warfare: indivisible.org/resource/how...

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

The House of Representatives is considering a bill that will lead to voter purges and widespread disenfranchisement of eligible voters.

The SAVE Act stems from baseless claims of voter fraud and is part of a strategic, well-financed effort to suppress voting.
