💔 #FoodInsecurity isn't just #hunger—it worsens stroke outcomes.
Studies show:
• 1 in 3 stroke survivors face food insecurity—nearly double non-stroke rates
• Stroke survivors with food insecurity had ~3.7× higher mortality
📌 Healthcare without food isn’t complete.

"I think many Americans wrongly believe there would be one clear unambiguous moment where we go from “democracy” to “authoritarianism.” Instead, this is exactly how it happens — a blurring here, a norm destroyed there, a presidential diktat unchallenged." #Amerikkka #MAGAFascism
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

Let’s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished — and disappeared — because he embarrassed our pretender king.

I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally

It’s the seduction of the “silver bullet,” the belief that there remains a fact yet to be revealed that’s so damning that it will break Trump’s spell. But he’s not a witch, he’s a fascist. It’s not magic, it’s an awful movement, and you beat it not with counterspells but with better organizing.

Powerful message from one of the heroic Texas Democrats (who have been fighting on the front lines for many years).
They’ve been living with this longer than you have. They’ve been trying to warn you.
Please listen.
