The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.
Read that back.
Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
The Trump administration has deported a 2-year old U.S. citizen to one of the most violent countries in the world.
Why does the House Republican majority continue to enable this disgusting, unchristian-like behavior?
These people are unfit to govern.
New AP-Norc poll is first major poll with Trump's job approval in the 30s, 39%-59% (-20).

“The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped.”
~ Hubert Humphrey: 1977
Democrats should be leveraging the 250th, especially next year's Independence Day anniversary, for the midterm elections. The language of resistance, rights, and freedom is tailor-made for the present moment. Embrace it!
Concord, NH. About 2000 people, tons of honking for three straight hours as supporters drove by.

Dear History Teachers, Turn on those TVs because history is being made in the Senate floor right now. Senators are holding the floor to fight for our families and our communities! Kids should see this! I can’t tear my eyes away. Sincerely, Me (and so many inspired by this moment)

They disappeared a barber who entered the US legally and had committed no crime.
He was immediately tortured in a Salvadoran prison as he cried out for his mother.
It’s the Trump Administration that is not only breaking the law by denying people due process, but committing crimes against humanity.
And we're just getting started
So they removed all records of Collin Powell - at Arlington WTF. IS Obama going to be erased from history next?!
Everything we have stood around the world going back 80 years - collective security, honoring alliances, helping friends & allies, feeding the hungry, treating & curing diseases, humanitarian aid, the rule of law, broadcasting truthful news to people who can’t get it - all gone.
Elon Musk’s new haircut very closely resembles a style popular during Germany’s Third Reich.
It’s a Nazi haircut.
In Nazi Germany, a version of this haircut which was long on top but shaved at the back and sides was popular among the Wehrmacht — Hitler’s army of soldiers.
During the past…
The reality here is very simple: Trump thinks there is no limit on his power, that he can spend money how he likes, jail who he likes, rule by fiat, criminalize criticism of himself. He is breaking the law and ignoring the Constitution. And we can either acknowledge that or keep pretending he isn’t.
Even the Libertarians are starting to get it.
Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

Getting involved, baby.

And for those in the back, the Republicans have the trifecta. This is on them.
I protested at Tesla yesterday! In a suburb and well over 100 people. People are angry. This lady summed it up for me and I agree.
