Stop Trump’s D.C. Takeover Trump sent the National Guard into Washington, D.C. to intimidate his opponents and distract from his failed agenda. Email Congress now and demand they end his takeover of our nation’s capital.

Trump declared a fake emergency in D.C. and sent in the military. Congress can end this abuse of power—join @standupamerica.com & demand action now: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

So true!

Republicans want to raise taxes on people making under $30K, cut their Medicaid and food aid, and then tell them to have more kids. 🤔

I worked at Subway and Target making just above minimum wage without health care. You think billionaires need more help than folks making less than them?

"Spiritual" people just keep scolding me, saying we shouldn't engage in Us Versus Them thinking right now. . Here's my response: . For decades, i have worked to dissolve and discourage Us versus Them energy. It has been a cornerstone of my work. . But during this red-alert emergency crisis, when the literal fate of every living thing on the planet is in jeopardy (not just the fate of Americans), it is irrelevant, distracting, and ultimately dangerous NOT to fight with all our might against the THEMs that are embodying, nourishing, and fomenting evil. . Us versus Them energy is appropriate and necessary.

Helping the U.S. gets you banned, being white gets you a welcome mat. Got it.

Compelling read!

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Whoever does it inherits this legacy and can forever count themselves among the best our nation has ever produced.

NYT: Protesters arrested.

When two Popes dislike you, it’s a divine sign.

That was the first thing I thought of when I heard the news!

Talk about predictable. 😅

Reminder the President has no inherent Constitutional power to declare tariffs. That power resides with Congress.

Trump only has this power now because the GOP Congress handed it to him in an "emergency."

There is no emergency.

Republicans are entirely to blame for this.

The Dow dropped 1,600 points in six hours.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.
