Not going back.
$4.5 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires. Billions added to the debt ceiling. Billions cut from Medicaid. All but one GOP House member voted for this. Every single House Dem opposed it. The middle class will pay for these handouts to the super wealthy. People who depend on Medicaid will die.

I am horrified as I watch each day the current administration shun our allies and align us with dictators. Horrified.

The million dollar question is: Are we (ALL of us, regardless of political leaning) going to let him get away with it? Or are we going to fight back to save our democracy? Sounds crazy, right? But that's where we're at. I don't know about you, but if I have to go down, it's going to be kicking.

"We are in the middle of a constitutional crisis..." This was recorded live a few minutes ago by renowned historian Heather Cox Richardson. Listen to the whole thing and then act unless you're okay living in a dictatorship.

Acts of authoritarianism: Yesterday, T took revenge against and had fired those prosecutors who investigated his failed attempt to overthrow the 2020 election. Last night, T illegally froze distribution of congressionally appropriated funds. Pay attention, folks.

When the high for the day in Minnesota is -20 with -55 wind chills (and it's been plenty colder), duckies get frozen to their water buckets. He's fine and thawing out in our bathroom. Are they really bitching about the 28-degree "cold" in D.C.?

Perhaps we should have done a long time ago what South Koreans did yesterday? Perhaps this is what we need to do now before it's too late? Not advocating for violence here, but interested in your thoughts about how we can resist.
