The world said "never again," and here we are, doing so much of it again.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Absolutely insane back-to-back headlines

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before.

But the greed of the oligarchs never stops. 

Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs.

Together we can stop them. We must stop them.

ADMINISTRATOR SALARIES ARE DECIDED LOCALLY.
TEACHER SALARIES ARE DECIDED LOCALLY.

Trump Republicans hate the Department of Ed for the same reasons they hate education. They view education as a waste of funds since it exposes their fraud and prevents their abuse of American minds through their outlets of disinformation. Trump Republicans want a country of believers, not thinkers.

(Original post by US Democratic Socialists)

It's clear Trump, Musk, et al. are not phased by the rules or consequences of Democracy. When do we say they're a threat to the safety & well being of American Citizens & a threat to national security? When do we take the gloves off & stop this? Or will we look back & say we missed the window?
