This is exactly right, with one addition to the end:

Trump wants to have the unconstrained ability to use lethal militarized force against Americans to make sure he never has to give up powerβ€”so that the corrupt enrichment & rank criminality of him, his family, & his cronies goes forever unpunished

Trump moves to block public servants from loan forgiveness based on ideology Those who work with undocumented immigrants, provide gender transition care for minors or publicly protest could be blocked from student loan forgiveness under a new rule.

No, Mr. President.

You do not have the right to take away student debt forgiveness from teachers, nurses, veterans and other public servants if they do not show loyalty to your right-wing political agenda.

This is a democracy, not a dictatorship. Rescind this illegal rule.

Graphic with Fred Rogers aka Mister Rogers that reads: 

"We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say 'It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.' Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes."

Let’s be there for our community. If you’re able, please make a donation to your area food banks. SNAP benefits will end 11-1-2025 thanks to TRUMP and MAGA REPUBLICANS.

No one should go without food, not in richest country in the world. TY πŸ™πŸΌ

If Trump orders a land invasion of Venezuela, maybe he'll inspire more American soldiers to risk their lives to boost the net worths of oil industry billionaires by sharing stories of his bravery at the Battle of the Bone Spurs.

My office captured several stills from today’s
@dhsgov.govmirrors.com video supporting Gregory Bovino. The imagery is deeply troubling; it evokes another era when masked government agents rounded up so-called β€œundesirables" (I’m sure that’s just a coincidence).

THE RESISTANCE
Kristi Noem and her lover Corey Lewandowski are replacing senior ICE leadership because they think the department hasn't taken its violent purges far enough.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The violations of civil and constitutional rights are about to get far worse. State and local authorities must be ready to intervene to protect civilians from militarized masked federal agents using excessive force to instigate violence.
