- Reposted by FabyBeware, voters... Whether it's closing polling stations, enacting strict ID laws (to combat mythical voter fraud), refusing to fill vacated seats, or scheming to nullify ballots - akin to what's currently happening in NC - such shades of voter suppression are our future under continued GOP rule.
- Reposted by FabyCongressional Republicans can stop this madness if they want. It’s a choice to keep Trump in office to destroy everything.
- Reposted by FabyOne man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.
- Reposted by FabyThis is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

- Reposted by FabyThe purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

- Reposted by FabyThe Justice Department instructing Judge Boasberg to yield to “the mandate of the electorate” and stop asking questions about defiance of his court order is honestly one of the most demented and disturbing things I’ve ever seen in a legal filing. It comes pretty close to a claim of divine right.

- Reposted by FabyIf I’m thinking thru the senate rules right (by no means certain), I think a single D senator can force the voting that’s starts tomorrow to last into the beginning of next week by refusing unanimous consent. That can slow things down and allow the backlash to expand.
- Reposted by FabyThank you, Senator Warren, for saying NO to this partisan disaster! Handing Trump a discretionary slush fund means MORE DOGE destruction, MORE terminations, More Soc Sec closures, and ultimately MORE Americans in need of food and healthcare. Every Senate Dem should say HELL NO to that! #HoldTheLine

- Reposted by FabyYou have $100 in your checking account. One day, you check your balance and it's $60. You haven't made any withdrawals. You call the bank. They say $40 was taken as part of their "waste, fraud and abuse" program. Would you be ok with it? Coz it's happening to your social security and Medicaid.

- Reposted by FabyEverybody's upset abt this or that thing Dems did or didn't do at the faux-SOTU. Poor messaging, poor this, bad that. Very few of those things matter much or will be things we'll remember in a couple months. What they do on the CR really does matter. A LOT. That shld be 10x more focus anything else.
- Reposted by FabyDuring my final year as commander of US Army Europe (2012), we drove the exercise & training program for most of our European allies. We planned & executed over 400 multinational training events each year that contributed to all our nations readiness & ability to come together as allies.

- Reposted by FabyMake your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

- Reposted by FabyLord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.
