Therapist: When did your anxiety start?
Me: In elementary school when I used to count
ahead to figure out which paragraph I'd have
to read so I could practice in my head.
sorry I’m late for work, I had to stand in the shower staring at the wall with the water running over my body as the horrifying reality of being an adult in a world full of unspeakable atrocities began to suffocate me and I simply couldn’t step out of the shower and face it all
In the last 60 minutes, the President has posted 56 times on Truth Social.
One post claims Walmart is closing 85% of its California stores because of our “$22 minimum wage.”
Another features an AI-generated video in which a robot accuses Governor Newsom of running a drug-money laundering scheme out of the Governor’s Office with the Mexican cartel.
Just to clarify:
— Walmart’s 303 stores in California are open.
— The AI robot is lying. Governor Newsom is not Pablo Escobar.
We cannot believe we have to say any of this out loud.
We cannot believe this is real life.
And we truly cannot believe this man has the nuclear codes.
Deep breaths, everyone. Three more years.
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Senator Merkley shares a POWERFUL message to Call to Activism’s followers:
“Tyranny isn’t down the street or around the corner. It’s here now. Trump’s plan is to replace government ‘of, by, and for the people’ with government ‘of, by, and for the powerful.’
Trump—an authoritarian strongman—is pushing for complete control of America thanks to a rubber-stamp Congress, a Supreme Court that’s delivering more and more power to the Executive, and
an Executive that has a well-planned strategy to trample our democratic institutions, thanks to Project 2025.
Americans across the country are standing up because the President is not a king, laws are not suggestions, and the Constitution is not optional, and I took to the Senate floor to ring the alarm bells.
It was so important to speak out in this moment because tyranny isn’t down the street or around the corner. It’s here now. Trump’s plan is to replace government ‘of, by, and for the people’ with government ‘of, by, and for the powerful.’ Trump—an authoritarian strongman—is pushing for complete control of America thanks to a rubber-stamp Congress, a Supreme Court that’s delivering more and more power to the Executive, and an Executive that has a well-planned strategy to trample our democratic institutions, thanks to Project 2025.
Americans across the country are standing up because the President is not a king, laws are not suggestions, and the Constitution is not optional,
and I took to the Senate floor to ring the alarm bells…
After over 22 hours on the floor, my message is exactly the same as it was when I started: We need to ring the alarm bells that Trump’s authoritarianism is here!”
THANK YOU SENATOR MERKLEY!
