Authoritarian regimes make you feel like shit because they will never admit theyโ€™re losing.

But Trump is losing โ€” and itโ€™s because of the organizing work youโ€™re doing.

๐Ÿš˜๐Ÿš› Two photos here from todayโ€™s ferociously windy and cold overpass activity. It was unwise to post letters and banners, but still, at least a dozen folksโ€”with our flagsโ€”waved proudly! See our poster below for the Protest Marathon times and themes coming up. Join us 12-2 tomorrow!๐Ÿƒ

Born in early 70's and only had one dose. Had to get a booster before an overseas posting in 2019. Check your records, call your PCP.

Back in 2019, before being posted to a country with low MMR Vax rates, I was told to get a booster. Born in the 70's only given one dose then. The measles can really hit adults hard, causing death in healthy people. Check with your primary care physician.

My father spent his last month of life in a care facility. We luckily had hospice cover those weeks. I can't imagine having to worry about if he had lived longer how we would have had to come up with the tens of thousands of dollars to take care of him, without medicaid. Republicans are cruel.

๐ŸšจVoteVets CALLS OUT Trumpโ€™s Reckless Plan For Gaza:

"[Trump] recklessly put every American in uniform in the Middle East in danger. More concerning is that he did so to advance the cause of enriching himself, his family, and his billionaire developer pals, by turning Gaza into a gaudy resort."

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

Every morning Iโ€™m waking up to 20+ bot follows. I wish there was a setting to approve follows instead of having to manually block each one.

MAJOR BREAKING NEWS:

In an absolutely stunning and disqualifying resurfaced clip, Trumpโ€™s selection for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said America โ€œshould not have women in combat roles.โ€

RT so every American sees how awful Donald Trumpโ€™s decisions are.
