Trump’s Machiavellian suspension of all federal grants and loan programs will affect the following (and not limited to):
*Pell Grants for college students
*Federally subsidized loans and other grants for college students (FAFSA)
*Medicaid
*SNAP (food stamps)

The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country.
It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.

"I ended up going to the poem to ask questions, to recount the concrete details that contributed to the way I was feeling, to find a structure. . ."

Thank you @AOC. I know what side I'm on — and it sure as fuck isn't the Nazis'. 😳👇

We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.

Also voted to maintain slavery (involuntary labor in prisons) and against rent control. Some very passionate “good liberals” fought hard against that one. But yeah, “blue wave”

He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.
He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.
But at least he's not a Black woman.
