Hello?
Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.
Enough of the false equivalence.

This is what MAHA wants.
They want you sick and infected.
Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator.
Refuse to give up on public health:
Things to consider:
Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter
Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed
You are a witness.
Expose it.

I don't know how to yell any louder.
CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Not many voted for fascism. He disavowed Project 2025, which planned the current assault on democracy. People voted for a better economy, for secure borders, and for deporting undocumented immigrants who were violent criminals. Few voted for what we have.
