Under Trump, the only normative rule is to gain as much power and money as possible.
Power and wealth are honored, even if the honoree has greenlit a brutal murder.
The Trump Administration is terrorizing hard-working journalists and trying to silence our No Kings movement. We will say it even louder: immigrants are welcome here – kings are not 📣

This attack on our communities is a fundamental threat to the freedom of each and every one of us.
The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
Nothing has ever trickled down.
Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

“We still have to live under that, that fear of losing our identity, losing our culture, our religion,” Peltier says about his continued commitment to Indigenous rights. “The struggle still goes on for me. I’m not going to give up.”

But I am pretty sure Republicans wouldn’t be celebrating his life and legacy and insisting no one criticize anything he ever said or did.
He was a single dad who had just dropped off his two kids at school and daycare.
Then he was fatally shot by ICE in Chicago. Silverio Villegas-González. Do not forget his name.
Do not become desensitized. The time to speak up and show up for our neighbors is now.
Punishing college students for protesting him.
Pressuring TV networks to fire late night talk show hosts for criticizing him.
Suing newspapers for reporting he doesn’t like.
If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
Wikipedia is being pressed to release names of specific editors, a tactic seemingly pushed by the Heritage Foundation.

Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us.
Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work.
It was a hoax.
