YouTube video by Sen. Elissa Slotkin Senator Slotkin Delivers Speech on Trump's Authoritarian Playbook

EVERYONE needs to see this and understand the red alert. Make sure this gets in front of every American. The gravity cannot be overstated. Slotkin has the expertise and position to make the assessments she gives in her speech at The Brookings Institute.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but, your body’s are going to have to go on the line this time. Like the 60’s, they do not want the world to see images of this complexion being treated inhumanly. They have to be overwhelmed by it and crippling their $.
Do you get it now?

I was 41 when I had my last child

SNAP benefits have never been cut off in any government shutdown... until now. Not once. Not under Bush. Not under Obama. Not even during other long shutdowns. The only two times Americans have come close to losing food assistance - 2018 shutdown and now - were both under Donald Trump's presidency. In 2018, the USDA had to scramble to pay February benefits early to stop people from going hungry. Now in 2025, they're warning that millions may not get November benefits at all. We're talking about families who rely on $6 a day for food... being told there's "no funding"... while billionaires get tax breaks and ICE burns through millions on tear gas. This isn't fiscal responsibility. It's cruelty. Which seems to be the theme of Trump's administration." @TheJFreakinC

The White House is illegally refusing to use reserve funds to pay for SNAP benefits and Donald Trump is fully aware of this.

Don’t be gaslit, the money is there, but Trump refuses to prioritize the needs of American citizens because his main concern is a ballroom.

Trump doesn’t care about you.

This way of thinking is as illiberal and racist as any on the Trump train. Thank you @2rawtooreal.bsky.social for sharing your clarity.

This is fucked

This is coming from a guy who lied on the stand about a protester, only to be humiliated by video of what actually happened, leading a jury to acquit in an hour. This vapid shitbag liar wants to “correct misconceptions?”

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

There was confusion over the DHS contract for weapons detection, that was with Block MEMS not Block Inc who is a majority shareholder in Tidal though a large amount of ownership remains among black artists including Jay-Z and Beyonce. Block, Inc IS involved in AI though.

Anyone know anything to replace #Spotify? At least until they realize that 7,000,000+ Americans just hit the streets to protest their newest sponsor and they get wise enough to terminate that relationship. Did they learn nothing from #Disney 's mistakes? #CancelSpotify

We have migrated to TIDAL and have been really impressed once we got used to it. The sound quality is incredible and they give the highest play contribution to artists of anyone by a long shot. Their radio from a song feature is fantastic.

This is a matter for The Hague

This made me laugh. They’re so stupid. Hearing the stupid catalogued like this just makes it so stark.

Favorite part of the day! Global friends!🌏

In fact, the “Young Republicans”group extends to age 40

There is NOTHING Republicans won’t try to gaslight us about

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

This is the truth of the rot when they think nobody is looking. Incendiary and vile.

With a President and 3 Cabinet members credibly accused of sexual abuse, this may be among the most morally corrupt administration in history.

I am deceased

So are we just gonna ignore that a white kid killed 2 teen girls because he was upset they insulted Charlie Kirk?

Imagine. JUST IMAGINE if this was an undocumented immigrant? But meanwhile I bet you’ve barely heard about this atrocity. SMH www.instagram.com/reel/DPewI1w...

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

YouTube video by Jason Jay Smart Ukraine BREAKS Russian Line in Donetsk, 7 Towns Freed

Our media is only BARELY covering the Ukrainian wins and the grinding defeats Russia has faced. Ukraine's victory is a victory for Democracy and undermines Authoritarians by emboldening the populations in all those nations.

Let there be no doubt that white supremacy is at the root of the rot in this country. Many poor white MAGA's are willing to starve in the dark as long as a black person doesn't get the same food they both need. It runs that deep.

SHOUT LOUDER! In this issue of The Digital Drumbeat:

*RECEIPTS on how Trump & his cronies used threats to yank Kimmel off the air.
*Shareable VIDEOS to torch the regime’s hypocrisy.
*DIRECT ACTIONS to pressure media giants & defend the First Amendment.
