I am not a perfect person, but at least I can wake up every day knowing I didn't vote for concentration camps and millions being stripped of health insurance and food assistance.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:

•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court

Seriously: Why the hell not?

We cannot ignore the fact that MAGA is better at organizing and getting people out there to vote. Even in my very blue district, new chapters of turning point are being formed in the last week. We as Democrats need to match this energy!

I am now starting to suspect that people doom posting themselves into saying it doesn't matter that Trump is wildly unpopular because he is going to do a dictatorship are themselves an op. Dictatorships aren't stable by magic, they need people to buy in and go along with them. This matters.

The campus killing that this country SHOULD be up in arms about is the Demartravion “Trey” Reed hanging from a tree in the middle of DSU campus in Mississippi.

I distinctly remember countless people telling me I was overreacting when I said trump and his administration were full blown fascists.

Florida: where it's "my body, my choice" when you want to spread infectious diseases to your entire community, but not when a woman wants to make decisions about her own body.

High road democrats aren’t bad people.

They’re simply in denial about how dire things are. Or afraid. Or unable to meet the moment.

Wish them well.

Then vote them out.

Fighters only.

A few hundred people from all four quadrants of Washington, D.C., plus Maryland and Virginia, gathered Thursday to protest the federal involvement in local matters.

“Free D.C.!” The crowd near U and 14th Streets NW chanted. One sign read, “Hands off D.C.!”

People keep asking rightwing christians if they would trust their daughter with trump, but forget that members of evangelical churches have historically ignored abuse and even knowingly sacrificed their children to the predatory leaders of these institutions.

Absolutely!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you cannot be an ethical healthcare professional and support trump and this administration.
