Gen Xer for Democracy

Trump’s latest meltdown?
🧨 Epstein = “hoax”
🚩 Gaslighting to protect predators
🤡 Attacks supporters who want truth
🙄 Says his “success” matters more
👿 Minimizes child trafficking—for himself
💩 Calls his supporters stupid and foolish

This isn’t politics. It’s cult propaganda.

A Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump dated July 12, 2025, at 9:42 AM. In the post, Trump says he is considering revoking Rosie O'Donnell’s U.S. citizenship because she is not in the “best interests” of the country. He calls her a “Threat to Humanity” and suggests she should stay in Ireland “if they want her.” The post ends with “GOD BLESS AMERICA!” and shows 1.56k ReTruths and 8.14k Likes.

When a man with nukes starts talking about revoking citizenship because he doesn’t like someone’s opinion, we’re way past red flags.

We are deep in “emperor with no clothes and no brakes” territory.

And the GOP is just nodding along like bobbleheads on a dashboard straight to hell.

A photo of a nearly submerged school bus trapped in deep floodwaters during a storm, surrounded by dark trees and heavy rain. Overlaid bold white text reads: “This is what ‘budget cuts’ look like.” Below it: “20 girls. One storm. Zero accountability.” The image conveys the deadly consequences of underfunded disaster forecasting and emergency response systems.

20 girls died in TX after a flood warning underestimated the danger.
Why? Trump slashed NOAA. Fired forecasters. Cut weather data.
Billionaires got tax breaks. Families got body bags.
Cuts don’t cause storms. They just make sure more people die in them

@maddow.msnbc.com why isn't this being talked about?

Basically the Republicans just voted in a national ban on abortion and hid it in the fine print of their big betrayal bill. I'm outraged!!

Bold text graphic with a black background. The message reads: "H.R. 1 prohibits any provider that offers abortion services from receiving federal Medicaid funding, even if abortion is legal in the state." The phrase about funding is highlighted in red for emphasis

H.R.1 doesn’t “ban” abortion—they just strip Medicaid from any clinic that provides it, even legally. In states like MI where it’s still legal, this starves providers. Unless you’re rich? Good luck. It’s not pro-life. It’s “give birth, barefoot, with no rights.”

Black-and-white image of President Franklin D. Roosevelt smiling and leaning on a railing with a cane in hand. Next to him, bold white text on a black background reads: “Seems like a good time to remind everyone that FDR RAISED taxes on the rich significantly and in doing so got us Medicare, Social Security, a jobs program and built an American middle class.” Text is attributed to @mayawiley

FDR taxed the rich and built the American middle class.
This bill? It does the opposite.
Tax breaks for billionaires, cuts to healthcare and food for kids.
This isn’t policy—it’s punishment.
We deserve better.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book? 

The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Every Republican just voted NO on SNAP benefits for kids under 12. But billionaires? They're getting tax breaks. Feeding hungry children = too expensive. Rewarding the rich = business as usual. Disgusted doesn’t even begin to cover it.

I swear its every damn day Trump is in office.

Its like they are in an abusive relationship and always makes excuses for their abuser.

It's so weird...its like they are with an abusive partner who always has an excuse for his behavior. How long before they get tired of making excuses?

A dreamy, whimsical image featuring a rustic bee house covered in flowers and vines with a glowing golden light in the background. A large bee flies near the center with sparkles trailing behind it. The quote in elegant, gothic-style font reads: “Bees don’t waste their time explaining to flies that honey is better than shit.

Starting to feel like a bee surrounded by MAGA flies.

We literally warned you. Repeatedly. Loudly. With facts. But now y’all are shocked he’s doing exactly what we said he would?

Honey, we don’t have time to keep explaining why democracy tastes better than dictatorship-flavored BS. 🐝✌️

Trump just told Iran: Surrender or we’ll keep bombing you.
That’s not foreign policy—it’s a tantrum with drones.

Pretty sure that’s illegal without Congress.
But who’s stopping him? Congress? Please!
Mike Johnson’s an eunuch in a red tie. #Trump #Iran

A two-part image comparison. The top photo shows a sparsely attended official event with a stage labeled "U.S. Army," surrounded by empty areas and a small crowd. The caption reads, "All in favor of fascism..." The bottom photo shows a massive, packed protest crowd stretching down a city street, with the caption, "Those opposed..." The image contrasts the low turnout at a pro-Trump event with the overwhelming number of people protesting against him.

How to throw the worst birthday party ever:
Step 1: Be Donald Trump.
Step 2: Spend millions on tanks, troops, and flags.
Step 3: Still can’t fill a park.
Meanwhile... over 12 million people (and counting) showed up around the globe to protest you.
Happy No One Likes You Day, I guess. 🎉

11+ million protested today. That’s the 3.5% rule in action—enough to tip history.
But one day won’t fix it.
Power counts on us going quiet tomorrow.
Let’s prove them wrong.
We don’t back down.
#NoGoingBack

Two lawmakers were shot in MN. One is dead. On a day meant to protest authoritarianism. We march for those who now can’t. This isn’t politics—it’s right vs. wrong. Silence helps the wrong side. #NoKingsDay #DemocracyMatters

A U.S. Senator was handcuffed today for asking questions.
Alex Padilla tried to do his job—and they dragged him out.
This isn’t protocol.
It’s a warning #DemocracyIsUnderAttack

Newsom’s speech?
It was the political version of rolling up your sleeves, grabbing a mic, and saying:
“Not today, fascist Barbie.” 💅🏼

For once, it didn’t sound like DNC 💩
It sounded like someone finally pissed off enough to throw punches and a clear message:
We’re not gonna be bullied by Trump.

I couldn't agree with you more!! There was NO REBELLION there was NO ASK FROM THE STATE..He wrote the order for all 50 states to try and stop our 1st Amendment right to peaceful protests, we HAVE to take a stand

Giving MAJOR props to @governor.ca.gov tonight! WTFG...THIS is what people need to hear

I asked ChatGPT if what's happening in LA is a threat against democracy and to be honest. It's response was chilling!

Yes, Lissa — it absolutely does pose a threat to democracy. Here's why, broken down in plain terms, no fluff #LAProtests

It’s not a tax cut—it’s a tax trap.
And like most of this bill, it sounds better than it actually is.
Know the truth. Ask questions. Don’t fall for the glitter. 💅

TL;DR: H.R.1's "no tax on tips" is a shiny distraction.
✨ Report more = pay more taxes.
✨ Many won’t qualify.
✨ Big business wins.
✨ Low-income workers? Just more surveillance and stress.

The real winners?
🍷 Upscale bartenders.
🍽 High-end servers.
💅 Salon techs in cash-heavy businesses.
The folks who already report income and make enough to benefit. Everyone else? Left out or screwed over

Meanwhile, 37% of tipped workers don’t even earn enough to owe income tax in the first place.
So... this “relief” does nothing for them.
But now they’ll be on the hook for payroll taxes if they report more tips to get the deduction. Ouch

🚫 It doesn’t apply to automatic gratuities (like the 20% added to big tables).
🚫 It doesn’t apply to credit card tips—at least not clearly defined.
The bill says "cash tips." What counts? No one knows yet. It's vague—and that’s a problem.

💸 You only get the deduction if you report your tips.
For cash tips, that means telling the IRS exactly what you made.
Didn’t used to do that? Congrats—you just signed up to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes on that income.

They're calling it a win for workers: "No more taxes on tips!" 🙌
But here's what they’re not saying...
This could actually hurt most tipped workers. Let’s break it down. 👇

Time for the popcorn 🍿
The billionaire catfight we’ve all been waiting for just dropped. Any guesses on who will win this one? #elonvtrump
