This is the government that the Republicans are defending.

Charlie Kirk said hateful things about me, such as, should have “just took care of” trans people “the way we used to in the 50s and 60s". However. I would have never denied him of his rights like Republicans are doing. Delete, block & move on on. I do that with hate filled messages I receive daily.

Matthew Ruth just shot and killed 3 cops. He's another young, white male.. He also stalked a woman, set her truck on fire and killed her dog. Republicans will ignore this because it doesn't fit their narrative.

"An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people". Since the Republican party is shutting down sources of truth, we all must fill the void.

This is the view from my backyard of my home yesterday evening. I have owned it for forty years and raised my family there. I still love this place as much as the first time I saw it.

When I get on a plane and I see a black pilot, I know I am in good hands. They had to work a lot harder than everybody else to get there.

This is the statement that Jimmy Kimmel made that resulted in Disney/ABC permanently taking him off the air. Is this really where we are?

Censorship in Nazi Germany was strictly enforced by the Nazi Party; by Joseph Goebbels and his Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. Similar to other police states, censorship within Nazi Germany included the silencing of all past and present dissenting voices. Sound familiar?

All the extremist-related murders in 2024 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds, with eight of the 13 killings involving white supremacists and the remaining five having connections to far-right anti-government extremists. www.adl.org/resources/re...

Let's talk about the lynching yesterday. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Let's get back to focusing on Trump's relationship with Epstein. Don't get distracted.

This is the data I have seen related to who is behind the violence. The National Republican Party does not like data because it is an inconvenient truth in their desire for supremacy. Trump has been leading with hate and division in order to maintain power. Let's get more data.

Trump and his minions are not providing the leadership that is needed right now. Targeting groups and people for saying things they don't like will only lead to more violence. The Reublicans must intervene and save our country.

The line between my nightmares and reality seems to be getting thinner and thinner.

This is a message from the government of Israel. A dangerous flotilla from a hundred and forty-four countries with items like baby formula, food, and medicine is headed towards Gaza. youtube.com/shorts/XaoAx...

Thank God the killer didn't come from a liberal family. It's not going to end. You will see spin from the Republicans. Someone will get killed by someone from the left at some point. All hell will break loose afterward. America is now a white supremacist tinderbox just waiting for the next spark.

It is quite clear the goals of the fascist Republican party. Note the change in tone now that the shooter is a young straight cis white male.

Donny, tell us again about those seven wars that you stopped. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

I agree that violence is not the answer. At the same time, we need to tell the truth over and over and not let the right wing create a false dialogue.

It is so interesting how the red states vote against their own interest. FAFO

I don't understand. The Supreme Court says you cannot use race for admissions. The Supreme Court says it's okay to use race for deportations. How do they rationalize this hypocrisy?

Trump is desperate. He clearly wrote this birthday card.

Right Charlie. Maybe you and the 1% should try living on minimum wage for six months!

This is our country. Trump officials Bessent confronts Pulte with violence during Georgetown event. Bessent confronts Pulte, claiming he spoke negatively about Trump. Bessent yells, "Why the f- are you talking to the president about me? F- you," , "I'm gonna punch you in your f---ing face."

Trump's true to TACO form. He said they'd be hell to pay if there was not a peace deal with Russia. It's now been right over three weeks, and we don't hear a thing. Meanwhile, Russia keeps bombing the hell out of Ukraine.

No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices said Edward Murrow. I see many people who are fearful and intimidated. If you respond to fear, fascism wins. Stay strong and take responsibility for your beliefs. Challenge the lies!

Trump is officially declaring war on his own country.

Trump really screwed up. He managed to get the NRA to support the rights of Transgender people! That is a twist I never expected. newrepublic.com/post/200074/...
