This is great work, America but I know we can do better.

The current occupant of the house stated, America First! Why then is America NOT first but last? American's can't have health care but rich autocrats in other countries can have OUR tax funds. Shouldn't that money benefit US, here in the USA? No Kings, no autocrats, no dictators.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov it rhymes with Edmund Pettus Bridge 1965. WHAT are you going to do about it and when are you going to do it?

Calishat created 'No Kings TV' so that anyone can follow the no kings protests tomorrow across a number of metro areas. searchtweaks.com/nkt/

You all need to wrap your heads around what insurance will cost you next year. The Dems want you to keep your subsidies but the trump regime wants his buddies to get tax breaks. Good luck all! So! Check those numbers! This has been a shocker for many of us. www.kff.org/interactive/...

They pretend not to see it. They change the subject when they are confronted with it. And that's why they are responsible for the fact that we have a deeply mentally ill president, surrounded by other deeply unwell people.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Barbaric.

Crazy indeed.

But you and I both know that money isn't the reason the US government supports Israel. Imperialism is. Power is. And we have to be willing to give up that power. It starts with a concerted effort to give up our power over other people in our own communities. It starts with dismantling whiteness.

ICYMI — @GovPritzker tells Trump to stay out of CHICAGO, and urges the press to stop both-sidesing us into authoritarianism 🔥 🎯 🇺🇸

The media is using the headline: "Trump Fires Fed Governor." Instead of, "Trump attempts to illegally fire a Fed Governor, which is beyond the authority of the POTUS."

"Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. You're neither wanted here, nor needed here. Your remarks about this effort over the last several weeks have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties – and are not fit for the auspicious office that you occupy." Governor JB Pritzker

No surprises here. The administration backed itself into a policy corner & now people & their families are paying the price for MAGA political rhetoric. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Those of us in the genealogy field know that people lie but DNA does not. The rapist, a doctor, denied he raped the black woman. Of course he did. The courts in that era took the white mans word. Here were are in 2025 and DNA says he lied. Please read this story. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Judge Boasberg expressed concerns about Trump violating court orders. MAGA world explodes. Justice Alito flies an insurrectionist flag and Justice Thomas accepts gifts from billionaires that have had interests before SCOTUS. Not a peep from MAGA. Do I have this right?
