The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

I know a lot of you are asking us or talking about the 12 IGs (Inspector Generals) being fired. They aren't stepping down until it's done correctly. This is how you #Resist

Time to begin the Saturday night writing shift. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerslife

The way USA government & its propaganda machine always manages to pit minorities/communities against each other is both sad and predictable. It’s easy to distract from what we should be focusing on with division and scapegoating.

1/5 The "Golden Age," huh? Eggs are skyrocketing, life-saving meds may rise 10-1,000x, and millions of Americans face grim choices: food, shelter, or medicine. If this is golden, it’s fool’s gold—the kind that crumbles the second you touch it.

They call themselves leaders but they don't lead, they demand loyalty to their egos while billions suffer and billionaires laugh all the way to the bank with the stench of their unctuous promises to make the world better, but it's only better for them. #vss365 #unctuous

People unhappy with how the Trump presidency is going need to call their congress representatives, regardless of party, and demand impeachment. Trumps policies are hurting their constituents. LET THEM KNOW! CALL! DEMAND ACTION! Either party - he is hurting both. www.congress.gov

On Jan. 6, 2021, Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone lay stunned and injured on the ground of the U.S. Capitol building. He’d been Tasered several times in the back of the neck, and someone tried to rip away his gun. That’s when he heard someone say, “Kill him with his own gun.”

The joke is on us.

Law and order flouted. Justice delayed and denied. A nation of laws is broken and out of order. Freedom goes to the highest bidder. Our democracy turned into a sad joke but nobody feels like laughing except twisted oligarchs and liars they know joke is on us The punchline is brutal. #booksky #poetry

This is all on you republicans, all on you.

In his first three days, Trump disrupted America. Then he turned to the world

"If ... we fulfill the needs of the self, we prosper, and ... we become aware of the needs of the communal and can fulfill them." #CarlJung #SharedFacts' #BrainFunction #HumanReasoning

The 22nd Amendment of the Constitution states in part, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” A Republican House member introduced a resolution today seeking to revise this to: ”’No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times”

Hang on to your diapers folks! He is one very determined Cheeto and things are gonna get effing expensive on both sides of the 49th.

I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I am exhausted and broken. It’s the chaos, my work, my caregiving responsibilities, and so much more. But I know that I mush make it through to get to the next stage. Sending you all strength and hugs. 🫂

Tammy Duckworth on Pete Hegseth: "He was a pretty low ranking guy in the military ... this is a guy who is inordinately unqualified for the position."

Ori Goldberg is an Israeli Jew who has railed at Netanyahu’s war against Palestinians for all of 2024. His insight into the horrors the IDF are perpetrating in Gaza, the West Bank & now Lebanon gives hope that there are Israelis who understand this is genocide. He’s a true hero.

Excellent commentary

Big Tech billionaires have been bending the knee to Donald Trump. And their rewards won’t end with good seats at the inauguration. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Trump is centralizing the control of the federal government under his power and authority. Just like Hitler did. We are living out an unhealed collective pattern of fascism and slavery. We must restore “equality for all.” It is the foundation of a thriving democracy.

MAJOR BREAKING NEWS — Trump has canceled a number of meetings, posts, and communications with the public from the FDA, CDC, & National Institute of Health indefinitely. This will slow down science and devastate research budgets in universities. www.statnews.com/2025/01/22/t...
