Are Texas Democrats fighting back against their far-right GOP state government actions? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

The only thing this administration is committed to is fascist control of our country. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If the family of this young woman have to sit and watch life support keep her in a vegetative state because the of state of Georgia's barbaric anti-abortion laws, then a representative of the state should have to be there and it should be Sen. Setzler. georgiarecorder.com/2025/05/21/b...

I've seen posts calling for the tariff tax to be listed on the price of retail goods. If it isn't listed and the tariff is just included in the prices, then state and local sales tax will be charged on the total. Isn't that double taxation? Why haven't I heard anything about this? Am I wrong?

For those organizing or participating protests, Saturday, June 14th should be designated "Upside Down Flag Day." Trump has put our country in distress and doesn't deserve a parade. Let's gather and line our streets.

I'm one of the 75 million who didn't sign up for his tariffs so I will "deal with it" by protesting until he's out of office. The 77 mil who did vote for him and the 35% of registered voters who didn't vote have to decide how they're going to deal with it. www.businessinsider.com/trump-voters...

"In the real world, if someone defrauded the state or a charity of ten million dollars, they would go to prison." (Quote from article) The hypocrisy is that no longer is government considered the real world and therefore can do whatever they want. BS www.npr.org/2025/04/24/n...

Typically no one posts links to FB, put this summary of Trump was too good not to share. www.facebook.com/share/p/1FUW...

Here we go again. No due process. www.reuters.com/world/us/ven...

Trump's state dept is cutting back on its reporting of international human rights abuse. The only reason can be because they plan to commit these abuses themselves. This is where we could be headed. www.npr.org/2025/04/18/n...

Why don't people (Trump included) who love/praise Russia and disparage the US, just pack their bags and go live there? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

This is how the deportation of US citizen deportations begins. And they'll say it was a clerical mistake, but sorry (not), we can't get her back. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/m...

Yes, the danger is very real that this administration will continue to ignore the importance of secure communication. But, I view this indiscretion and their willful non-action as another nail in the coffin of our democracy in their plan to establish an autocracy. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I haven't seen a post about doge's "big balls" as revealed by The Guardian. Seems this needs to be investigated. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So, if Hegseth is categorically denying that the Houthis plans were shared on Signal, is it time for JG to release all the details he held back? youtu.be/ijjErKLh-hA?...

5calls.org is a great resource for contacting reps and senators!

His inclusion is HISTORY, not DEI. His exclusion is RACISM and HATRED. And this is what Trump and the GOP represent. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Thank you CBS 60 Minutes for making this happen. NO ONE, especially the young students who are the future of our country, should be cancelled by the hateful, anti-DEI policies promoted by Trump and approved by the GOP. www.cbsnews.com/video/americ...

I can't speak for VOA, but it seems like the administration is looking to increase it's propaganda. If independent news agencies are banned, when will it be further narrowed to Fox, OAN, other Trump-promoting media or just WH news releases? apnews.com/article/ap-t...

Senate Dems: VOTE NO! Why: idiotic declaration that one year equals one day; tax cuts for rich and corporations; funding cuts for EVERYTHING ELSE. Fight for the majority of our citizens and fight against the obscene actions of this administration. Don't give in! www.npr.org/2025/03/13/n...

When Trump/Musk/Lutnick or other GOP tell us we have to accept the inconvenience of their actions, they think they are so smart. But it shows their stupidity. They have billions, but they couldn't survive on 50k/year or even $250k. Yet they expect us to do with less. www.cbsnews.com/news/lutnick...

This snake has taken up residence in the Trump swamp. Seems like DogE missed the obvious fact that this woman should be fired since she doesn't have enough to do! www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/p...

How stupid can one man be? How hateful and vindictive? www.cnbc.com/2025/03/11/t...

Maybe they should hook Trump up and ask him if Musk got into our voting system. Lots of questions for Trump and Musk www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Musk: Rockets are hard Me: So is government, but you're doing a bang-up job at blowing it up, too! www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-re...

www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-... Trump’s executive order says being trans fundamentally “conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life.” Trump obviously doesn't have any of those qualities, while those affected do.

Are we officially now a Mafia/dictatorship? Everything they are doing is for the benefit of one man! kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

Psychopath: not insane, know what they're doing is wrong and illegal. Predators of other humans due to lack of empathy. Insensitive to fear. Chaotic childhood. Bored and restless easily. Tend to get kicks from lying, cheating. High tolerance for extreme thrills. Sound familiar?

I know nothing makes sense when it pertains to Trump's actions. But WTF?! apnews.com/article/doge...

Europeans are scratching their heads. We "elected" this "man" and now he's clearly demonstrating how ignorant white men get put into jobs when DEI is thrown out the window. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump has finally become what what he's aspired to be: A CRIME BOSS. And he's got all the stooges (Musk, cabinet and GOP) to help him break all the laws he wants. www.nytimes.com/2024/03/25/o...

Trump/Musk are not above the law. We did not elect Trump KING. The GOP is out of their lane. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

If you're from PA, this is a must read. open.substack.com/pub/stephani...

Christianity is a hot topic button. Religious organizations that offer humanitarian relief are now upset that Trump/Musk actions stopped their funding. But when those same Christians voted for Trump, they ignored the fact that he is truly the anti-Christ. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... This is so petty. Our childish president got his feelings hurt because nobody likes him. In the scheme of things, I think the best response is to ignore these actions and then work on a better plan w/o him. He's revenge actions are just to get attention.

www.bbc.com/news/article... "It's going to save the American people tens of millions of dollars," Leavitt told reporters... BS! The only American people who will benefit are the rich when Trump's deficit-exploding tax cuts are extended. That's their plan to pay for them.

open.substack.com/pub/contrari... Another example of Trump appeasing his MAGA crowd with a declaration when there is no problem. How many NCAA school athletes? 510,000. How many trans athletes? 10.

@maddow.msnbc.com please ask your colleagues at MSNBC to pronounce Musk's DOGE fake dept "doggy" as @hcrichardson.bsky.social has done. They should do it often and on purpose to show Musk we don't consider him legitimate.

www.reuters.com/world/middle... More lies! Will the Palestinians leave THEIR country voluntarily? Currently, there is no plan for relocation. Other countries are not stepping up to accept immigrants. Yes, Gaza needs to be rebuilt and we should help, but this is NOT the solution.

Trump brags he'll visit Gaza after disparaging the Palestinian territory. He won't. He's too much of a coward. The risk of being assassinated would be high. Especially since he also threatened Iran with obliteration if they attempted to assassinate him. So, will he or won't he?

www.npr.org/2025/02/03/n... The beginning of the dumbing down of the US. We already know of the lack of education within the MAGA minions, now they'll try it with the middle class. And then give vouchers to those who can afford private schools.

Not nameless anymore.

Illinois senators: Duckworth 312-886-3506 Durbin 312-353-4952

Here's a thought. Since the midterms seem ions away and the margins of Dems vs GOP is so slim, surely there are enough GOP Congress people that are getting disillusioned enough with Trump to flip parties and get control away from GOP faction destroying our democracy? Let's do this!

www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n... I'm curious just how many hours does Carr watch PBS or listen to NPR. As for myself, I think I'll double my donation with thanks to Trump and Carr. I encourage you to support your local PBS/ NPR stations.
