Cruelty is the point. Pick groups that can be used as a a boogeyman + have a harder time defending themselves against the attacks and go wild. It's low IQ bully 101.

You are an out of touch and ineffectual enabler of fascists. You are part of the problem.

Resign and let a real Democrat who will take meaningful action do the job you should be doing.

Resign so a Democrat who isn't useless and completely out of touch can take over.

Authoritarians won't care what you say, how many strongly worded letters you send. They lap that shit up. Appeasement, too, will invite more.

You have an obligation to do more, and you've thus far failed miserably to meet that obligation.

Step down so someone who will act can take your place.

The image shows a tweet from Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) that reads:
“The Trump administration firing nearly all of the Special Education workers at the Department of Education sends a clear message:
They don’t believe that children with disabilities deserve an equal education.
The cruelty is staggering.”

Many red-state families with special-needs kids will be affected, too, when funding for their children’s programs gets cut off.

Practically every day we encounter someone who still has no idea ICE shot and killed someone in Chicago already. This happened before many people tuned in (and many have already tuned out again).

On the eve of his second election — on October 31, 1936 — FDR delivered his coup de grace, explaining the stakes in his fight with the moneyed interests.

Today’s economic royalists are backing Trump, and the fight is much the same.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

RFK Jr. has actual brain damage from a pork tapeworm that literally ate part of his brain, died, and rotted inside his brain until doctors removed it. He also has mercury poisoning, and has been diagnosed as cognitively impaired.

All publicly available facts that anyone can look up.

He doesn't want to stop the shutdown because a) then Congress would have the votes to force the release of the Epstein files and b) the shutdown serves to let him accelerate implementing parts of Project 2025, a fact The Felonious Grifter-in-Chief himself has made clear.

This is overdue, IMO. I smoked for over 25 years, and it's my strong opinion that there is zero need or reason to not avoid exposing children. It is easy enough to walk a bit and find a spot you're not around others who didn't choose to smoke, or to wait.

The guy wasn't even home. They set off explosives near a sleeping infant, and they didn't even bother to determine where their suspect was.

I dont think that's enough. You in Congress need to make your peers care. Find out what their stake in it is, and take out that leg. Bring their constituents that would be harmed to speak to it. Now is not the time to play "nice".

‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans Trump order allows VA staff to decline providing healthcare to patients based on political affiliation or marital status

So a draft-dodger is saying veterans only deserve care if they are loyal to him/the GOP and married. Disgraceful is beyond an understatement, and he and anyone who supports this can F all the way off.

This is exactly what you should expect from a regime populated by sycophantic sociopaths like the one holding said press conference, who murders puppies for sport, and a goat, too, because it was there and why not?!

Congress is responsible for allowing this, and you're uniquely equipped to stop it.

The heroine addict in charge has already said he wants to just let diseases run their course, the higher the count of dead and maimed humans is just the proof it's working. Only the weak and undeserving would get sick, right?

It's Just World Belief eugenics being put into action.

Compare economic growth (GDP, Wages, etc) over the terms served by Democrats and then by Republicans.

At least since the 1940's when a lot of that started to be tracked, its not even close. GOP can't manage anything other than recessions and shrinking the US economy.

Indeed. It will directly (and I think intentionally) influence some immigrants from paying their taxes so they are harder to target. Stop paying taxes, you're now a criminal.

I also expect landlords to start refusing to rent to immigrants to avoid risk of damage in an ICE raid on their property.
