Amazing idea to break up an alliance that has kept the West safe for 80 years after two World Wars, and fulfill Putin’s lifelong dream, because the EU is being mean to Elon.

My condition is on the list. So is my husband’s, my sister’s, my daughter’s, grandchildren’s, & SIL'S.

Is yours here? How about someone who you love?

Trump’s Project 2025 will deny coverage for these illnesses. https://t.co/1SdhwRWhCo

Good job folks.

A cancer diagnosis is a pre-existing condition for life. Americans with pre-existing conditions used to not be able to get health insurance. The Affordable Care Act changed that. We can’t go back. #Project2025

Can someone explain to me why the Rosenbergs were executed for providing classified documents to Russia and a certain convicted felon who did the same thing is able to get elected🇺🇸 President of the United States?

BREAKING: 40 monkeys have bravely escaped the Alpha Genesis research facility in South Carolina. We at Direct Action Everywhere are inspired by their unified act of resistance.

Police are currently hunting the 40 monkeys. We wish the monkeys the best as they fight for their freedom, and we hope that, if they are re-captured, they will be allowed to live out their lives at an animal sanctuary.

My brother Christopher sent this to his children

Yesterday was a bad day for our country, for our democracy, for our economy, for our party, for our family, and for ourselves.

I’ve lived through 15 presidential elections, and this is not different because it is amplified or more extreme, but because it is fundamentally different.

We are facing an incoming president and administration that have developed multiple, detailed plans for a fascist takeover of every department of the federal government.

Our system of government has always been protected because we have different branches of government, each providing checks and balances of the others. But it now looks like they may end up with control of all branches — the executive branch, judicial branch, and legislative branch.

Our family and our friends may be targets of abuse by the incoming leadership because of the stands we have taken to help immigrants, protect the environment, extend human rights, and on basic issues like diversity, equity, and inclusion.

I am worried about those closest to us, but I am more worried about the elderly on Social Security who may have their benefits reduced. I’m worried about the sick, disabled or chronically ill who may see our healthcare system gutted. I’m worried about immigrants who might be rounded up and exported to home countries where their enemies wait to punish them upon their return. I’m worried about women whose choices about their own bodies and own healthcare will be increasingly limited. I'm worried about the LGBTQ community whose every right must be considered under threat now. I am more worried about the potential to dismantle the greatest science and education system the world has ever seen. I am worried about so much that it is overwhelming to try to identify it all. I feel beat down.

But I’ve felt beat down before. And despite all of this, I’m confident we will survive.

I know the best way to recover when you are diminished is to gather your remaining resources and use them to help someone else. In doing so, you rebuild your own strength and better prepare yourself not only to defend against future attacks, but more importantly, to once again go on the offensive.

We have two years until midterms, when we can make a comeback.

Let’s use this time to protect the most vulnerable among us. Let’s volunteer for service organizations, for churches, for community groups. Let’s use our gifts to serve others until we can strengthen our capabilities. Then we can fight for ourselves, our families, our democracy, and our country.

And we will fight hard.

As Donald Trump readies to return to the Oval Office, U.S. retailers that depend on foreign suppliers are prepared to pass along the cost of his proposed import tariffs to consumers, potentially leading to higher prices for a range of products. https://t.co/dyB72RLgEm

Trae Crowder explains BRILLIANTLY to Trump supporters why they shouldn't be spiking the football for voting against their own self-interests.

If you only watch ONE video today, make it this one.

[Defenders of Wildlife @Defenders]

The Biden admin. released a new SEIS detailing the impacts of oil & gas development on the Arctic Refuge.

Trump’s leasing program opened the door for drilling – so we’re calling on Congress again to repeal the program & restore protections to the Refuge. https://t.co/iebzjJ5Em5

If you’re someone who always asks why victims of sexual assault don’t come forward, please always remember that an adjudicated rapist sexual assaulter was given the full power of the US govt.

[Jason Karsh @jkarsh]

Two of the most qualified women in the country ran for president against an unqualified, racist game show host who had a history of committing fraud and sexual abuse. And the country was basically split 50-50. That should tell us some things.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

I voted for the qualified black woman - and I’m proud as hell that I did.

RETWEET if you’re proud too!

I'm afraid we have devastating news about your future....

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

The thing about leopards is eventually they will eat you too.

Your favorite local restaurant closing because the nice family who owns it getting deported. You thought they were some of the “good ones.” The price of produce skyrocketing even before the camps are built as immigrants flee. Your daughter dying of sepsis because the lawyers feel it’s too risky to perform that D&C.

No more FAFSA for your kids college because you didn’t know that was part of the Department of Education. Veterans having their benefits cut because they rolled back the PACT Act as too expensive. That factory in town that was going to build chips and employ your kids never breaking ground because of the repeal of the CHIPs act. The bridge that was going to cut your commute in half being canceled because of the repeal of the Infrastructure Act.

That sweet government job that you’ve loved because you can work 8 hours a day and fish on the weekends has been slated for a MAGA Schedule F slot because it controls funding for contracts that will go to Republican donors, so you’re fired without cause or any union protections.

You’ll blame Biden or the local Democrats probably. But it will be fine because Elon promised it would be uncomfortable at first but it will get better. You were just so sure it would be uncomfortable for…you know…”those people.” Not you.

But that’s leopards for you. They eat whatever is available.

"They're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs" proved a more effective message than "Let me help you buy your first house."
