The proposals would transform a program aimed at helping the world’s most desperate people into one that conforms to Trump’s vision of immigration — which is to help mostly white people who say they are being persecuted.

America is not a “Christian Nation”. It’s a freedom of conscience nation. One can choose to be a Christian or have no faith at all.

Will enough Americans rise up to reverse the tide of populist authoritarianism? The Filipinos did it under Marcos. One morning the autocrats woke up and were no longer in control; the marchers were. That needs to happen here.

Federal officials have repeatedly tried to withhold security and counterterrorism funding from New York. If terrorists attack New York—the blame squarely lies with @realDonaldTrump, @JDVance and @russvought. They will be responsible for putting partisanship before patriotism.

It’s a special courage when good cops put their lives on the line to protect our communities. It’s a special cowardice when Trump Cops attack protesters who can’t fight back because they will get felony arrests. These are unpatriotic goons who have elevated 1 man over democracy.

If you think Trumpism will simply end in three years, you are naive. Left unopposed, global populism could dominate for a generation. This could be the rest of our lives, and our children’s, too.

So why are we doing so little?

Donald Trump and his MAGA Monkeys must understand. They have zero chance of winning. The American People REFUSE to live in a Putin-like police state. If you disagree, pack your bags and move to Moscow.

The Alliance Defending Freedom should be renamed the Alliance Defiling Freedom. It is a certified Hate Group in America. Beware of this dishonest right wing legal organization. It is a toxic Christian Nationalist Project 2025 group.

Project 2025’s Alliance Defending Freedom is exporting its toxic abortion politics to UK. It is teaming with Nigel Farage under the false pretense of protecting free speech. ADF already ruined America, now its tentacles are overseas.

Under no circumstances shall we allow the Trump regime to follow China and Russia’s lead with an Orwellian domestic spy app. Such totalitarianism must be fiercely opposed and defeated. It is a tool of oppression and would signify the end of America. 🇺🇸

Federal workers are working without pay because they hold jobs the administration considers critical to protecting property and keeping people safe.

Stiffing workers is what Donald Trump did in New York. This is nothing new for him.

One more sellout. The capitulation and appeasement of an aspiring dictator is the most surprising part of our descent into an authoritarian state. Marc Benioff is a phony and moral slug. History will remember and we won’t forget.

The mass firing of federal workers will backfire. The plot is to replace these purged workers with surge of fanatics from Project 2025’s resume database. These are incompetent apparatchiks who will degrade services for the American people.
