It turns out he's unlicensed to practice medicine & proceeds to lobotomize you, attaches leeches, drains your blood, & cuts off your foot. This is what the Trump administration is doing to America.

Last night, every single swing district Republican voted to cut Medicaid so they can shovel cash to their billionaire backers.

i think we should replace “how are you?” with “hey things are generally bad, how are you personally?” just to make things easier on everyone trying to answer in a way that doesn’t initially seem like you’re either delusional or complicit

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all?

Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance.
Democracy requires your courage.
So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.
I want every Democrat to sound like this. Meanwhile I'm listening to the sounds of (congressional) silence.

"Shadow cabinets" are well established in UK and elsewhere.
Main challenge for Dems is figuring out who would be the shadow ministers/Cabinet Secretaries.
But it's a necessary step.
Good explainer…and depressing as hell.
