Jefferson said, “Light and liberty are on steady advance.” Lincoln reminds us the cause of liberty must not be surrendered at the end of one defeat. Hope is resistance. It’s keeping the small fire alive while the house shakes. This fight is far from over. ✊🇺🇸

One day all the prosecutors Pam Bondi has fired will be the ones prosecuting her and the rest of Trump’s fascist administration.

Yesterday, Pam Bondi (who has seen the Epstein evidence including horrific photos, videos, and excruciating victim testimony) once again chose to protect billionaire sex predators over survivors. 🔥 That betrayal alone should force her removal from office. Epstein’s victims deserve justice.

⚠️ #Chicago: YOUR safety matters most!! We see what’s happening, and we are here to flood the zone, lift your voices, and share your stories. You are not alone. 💙✊

We’ve lost another hero… zoologist, primatologist, conservationist, and staunch animal rights activist Dr. Jane Goodall has passed at 91. ♥️ RIP

Trump, his administration, and the Republican party have ripped the soul out of our country. Their 24x7 focus on hate and destroying human lives and everything incredible America has built defines their reign of terror on the nation. Beyond that… Elayne Griffin Baker captures it best:

🔥 Trump is torching $200M on a vanity ballroom no one asked for and a gaudy gold-plated Oval Office while America drowns in $40 TRILLION debt. He’s draining us dry, destroying our national security, and attacking us in our neighborhoods. Everything he does is cause for his removal! #news

Not a Comey fan… but he and his team will wipe the floor with Trump’s beauty pageant “lawyer” who’s never tried a criminal case. Next. #politics #news

One day there will be trials, and they will have to answer to the American people for their crimes. Remember their names. Preserve the records.

HANDS OFF THE 716 — BUFFALO, NEW YORK ✊

Susan Sontag, The Art of Fiction No. 143 www.theparisreview.org/interviews/1...

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

⚠️ Trump’s egregious mistreatment of Ukraine, and catastrophic geopolitical miscalculation has not only pushed Europe to tighten its circle of trust excluding the U.S., but handed China an opening to step into the fold. Trump’s ineptitude and lack of qualified advisors has left America flying blind…

U.S. FBI Directors: Kash Patel 51-47 Chris Wray 92-6 James Comey 93-1 Robert Mueller 98-0 Trump once again selecting the least qualified person he could find who will carry out his revenge.

RFK has no medical or science degree of any kind and ZERO skills or competence in overseeing American healthcare directives. Another Trump sycophant completely inept at the position he has been given. FACT: His quackery will get people killed. What a disaster by all measures.

I hope Caroline Kennedy refuses to allow her honorable father’s name and the beautiful work done by The Kennedy Center team to be stained by the vile Trump administration. Donald Trump may steal your seat, but he will never be deserving of it.

We have to assume our social security numbers are toast. There is no way we can ever trust they are secure from this point forward. The question in my mind is where we go from here.

How to take action right now. shannonwatts.substack.com/p/what-to-do...

Wise words from Pete Buttigieg

Remember their names: Roberts Thomas Gorsuch Alito Kavanaugh Coney Barrett The day the #SCOTUS majority blessed presidential immunity, they gave Trump the keys to rip our democracy to shreds courtesy of Mitch McConnell. We will never forgive what they and his voters have unleashed on our nation.

How much of a contributor to our social equity and political issues are due to the absolutely obscene and increasing wealth disparity in the United States?

Buy American history books before they disappear. 🫠

Almost 90 million registered voters bailed on the election. They just never showed up. #UnitedStatesofAmerica

Pro Tip: A tariff is a tax Trump will force on us. 74 million understood this and voted against it. 74 million didn’t.

Mitch McConnell will forever be the man who shoved the final blade through the heart of our democracy by rigging SCOTUS to prevent Trump from ever having to pay for his crimes against our nation. #UnitedStatesofAmerica 😔

I fear for the kids inheriting the aftermath of this disaster. 😔
