It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

A screenshot of a tweet from the ACLU (@aclu.org) that reads:
"BREAKING: President Trump issued an executive order to begin dismantling the Department of Education.

This will severely hinder the federal government’s ability to meet its legal obligations laid out by Congress to protect students’ civil rights and empower them to achieve their future potential."

A lot of parents who have special needs children but voted for Trump are about to get to the FO part.

Which wealthy people will Trump threatened today so he can shake them down and reveal their cowardice as they desperately and greedily cling to their piece of the pie while sacrificing their principles, choosing surrender over a difficult fight? None of it will ever be forgotten.

The Kennedy Center Performers Who Didn’t Cancel When does quitting count as resistance, and when is it surrender?

When Donald Trump appointed himself chair of the Kennedy Center, many artists agonized over whether to perform, Marc Novicoff writes. They faced a dilemma: "When does quitting count as resistance, and when is it surrender?" theatln.tc/J0Gcx7Es

Trump's plan to close the Dept of Education is illegal. Only Congress can do that.

But what's the plan here?

Trump knows his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations unafraid to speak truth to power.

Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago.

In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror."

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

). The text of the post quotes Walz, stating, "WALZ: If trade is so bad with Canada. He was the guy who signed the deal. I think this is how he ran business. He stiffed contractors, he stiffed workers. He doesn’t pay his bills. He declares bankruptcy. The one thing is his claim that he’s the business president. He is the worst possible business executive that I have ever witnessed." Below the text, there is an image from an MSNBC broadcast featuring two individuals in suits sitting at a news desk.

The ticker at the bottom of the image reads, "THE TRUMP ECONOMY: 0R’24 AMPS UP CANADA ATTACKS AT EXPENSE OF U.S. ECONOMY," and includes the MSNBC logo, a timestamp of 8:14, and the label "LIVE."

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.

And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.

It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.

Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.
