Until this moment, President Trump, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Let us not torture these innocent men further. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?

(Paraphrasing the words of Boston lawyer Joseph Welch, who ended Senator Joseph McCarthy’s career)

Since it costs money to get a new passport or copy of your birth certificate, the SAVE Act is effectively a poll tax.

The SAVE Act is a way for the House Republicans to put up a financial barrier between the 69 million women who would have to get new IDS and the ballot box. #HandsOffHerVote

The economy is in free fall.

The markets are collapsing.

Our soldiers are dying.

Our sensitive information is being leaked over text message and gmail.

Random people are being kidnapped and sent to foreign torture prisons.

And Trump is fucking golfing.

I was one of those kids that got fed. They didn't care what color you were or about your income, they just did the right thing and I have never forgotten it. We were too poor to afford breakfast.

Abandoned in the Middle of Clinical Trials, Because of a Trump Order The stop-work order on U.S.A.I.D.-funded research has left thousands of people with experimental drugs and devices in their bodies, with no access to monitoring or care.

The quick shutdown of USAID abandoned patients with experimental devices and drugs in their bodies with no way to remove them in time. How many people are going to die because of the Trump/Musk mismanagement?

What’s the DOGE Death Toll?

To all the ones who didn’t vote, who didn’t want to take sides or they couldn’t vote for a woman of color or the other one. Here we are. Your vote went to the worst of the worst in history . Utilizing your common sense and research would have made a tremendous difference .
