How to stand up to a dictator -Maria Ressa

😨😨😨 how many years will we need to restore the normalcy in American life?

So much unnecessary cruelty and devastation. Medical libraries and museums are a treasure trove of information and history. Not to mention staff getting double RIFed.

Can someone please invent a time traveling machine so we can reset this timeline? Something to get us back on a humane one.

Trump Administration to Drastically Cut Housing Grants

This is far worse than anyone expected.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.

All as mass internment camps are being built.

Doubts about RFK Jr. grow for some Republicans GOP senators say his moves on vaccines are risky for public health. They also may be bad politics.

I hope my Republican colleagues will do more than express reservations about RFK Jr. They should join me in calling on RFK Jr. to resign or be fired. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Senator @alsobrooks.senate.gov has introduced a resolution to Fire 🧠🪱!

We couldn’t agree more. It’s time to #SacktheQuack

“Blue states aren’t building resistance from scratch, they’re scaling existing systems” to combat what Trump is doing to ultimately preserving America and who we are as a nation.

Trump Says He Will Sign Executive Order On Voter ID Trump says he will issue an Executive Order requiring voters to provide ID for all elections.

"Election laws are set by state legislatures and are then governed by a combination of the governor, the attorney general, the chief election official, and the state board of elections.
The Constitution does not give the president the power to regulate elections."
EOs 👏 Are 👏 Not 👏 Laws 👏

Homeland Security Dept. Says It Hasn’t Kept Text Message Data Since April

The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts.

Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.

A MUST READ! Thank you #psychopete.bsky.social !
A great help!

Dropped cases against LA protesters reveal false claims from federal agents Revealed: records show border patrol gave inaccurate testimony about people it jailed. Prosecutors now face ‘embarrassing’ dismissals

This proves five things:

1. The protests in LA were peaceful
2. The National Guard and Marines were unnecessary
3. ICE officers lie
4. DHS stats on ICE agent assaults are overblown
5. You can not, in fact, indict a ham sandwich if you have no case

Add your name: Congress must reverse Trump's immunity Trump wants one set of rules for himself and another for the rest of us. We must demand that Congress come together to pass a constitutional amendment that affirms equal justice for all and that no on...

Exclusive: Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest Mobile network anomalies consistent with cell phone surveillance were detected at a July 4 protest at an ICE field office in Washington state.

The First Amendment guarantees the essential right to assemble peacefully to advocate for any cause.

Reports that the Trump administration may be using invasive surveillance technology to monitor protests against their anti-immigrant polices without a warrant are deeply alarming.

“When I was only five years old, my family was taken from our home by the United States government and put on trains that took us to a prison camp in the swamps of Arkansas.”

“Children and all Americans need to understand our history so we can avoid the mistakes and cruel decisions of the past.“

Ever wonder where the tomato on your #July4th burger comes from? These Central Valley tomato harvesters spend hours bent over under the sun harvesting. On an average they lift around 170 buckets a day. Each bucket weighs 25 lbs. It’s exhausting, physical labor. #WeFeedYou

"We withdraw our consent.

We refuse to be complicit in cruelty.

We reject the abuse of power for personal gain.

We stand for dignity, truth, equality, and justice for all people.

With firm reliance on each other and unwavering hope in our collective strength."

Saying exactly how I feel.

So glad we all get to experience the Most Ironic Independence Day In American History.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken legislature?

Our corrupt SCOTUS?

Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly
