You can lie about reality, but it doesn't change it. You can lie about the problems you face, but it will not solve them. You can kill messengers who speak the truth, but it doesn't make the message false. Attempting to hide reality doesn't hide its consequences; people will know and act accordingly

Any citizen can be picked up by ICE for no reason or cause and deport you. This must stop NOW!

As you prepare for your local June 14th gathering, include this in your "No Kings" considerations: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/u...

This is where we need to see State Attorneys General band together to take this to court.

This is the very thing we need to see our members of congress do. Fight the good fight.

The 'truth' really hurts. Do they not see that the growth of their wealth has coincided with the growth of the "health, education, and knowledge" of the rest of the population? Do they think buying and selling to each other will grow their wealth?

DOGE clearly stands for 'destruction of government efficiency.' There is nothing being done in any agency that enhances government efficiency. The Trump regime wants failures. They think people will blame "government" for the problems not the regime. The public protests show they are wrong.

The Trump/Musk cuts/firings have resulted from a single goal - slashing the Federal budget. They do so with total ignorance of what is being cut and who is being fired. It is simply dollars. Rehiring personnel or reinstating funding requires knowledge of details of programs, which they lack.

It is crushing to see the Republican (MAGA) party have so little respect for the things that made this country great. It is pure cowardice. The irony of Mitch McConnell being the only senator in that party to vote against the insanity is no comfort. Dark and dangerous times ahead.

What percentage of the dollars Trump/Musk slash from the Federal budget will be redirected to programs that help the American people, whose tax dollars they are "saving?" I predict zero. The "savings" will be used to justify tax cuts for the obscenely wealthy and corporations.

With the unlawful overtake of government agency networks by Musk and associates it is clear that the strategy is: We are going to take what we want until you stop us, and we don’t believe you can stop us. The watchdog agencies are neutered and the courts are too slow.

It is clear that the Trump regime's definition of DEI is "dismiss expertise and intelligence." The nominees that have been, and current are, undergoing Senate hearings vividly illustrate the dismissal of expertise and intelligence in their selections

Here are some useful links to websites tracking the new regime's efforts to erase information on governmental efforts toward environmental justice. Knowledge is power (which they know all too well).

These are important questions for Senators to ask Pete Hegseth. I can't imagine satisfactory answers would be forthcoming.

This thread is enlightening. Trump is an expert in legal delay tactics. When coupled with compliant judges (e.g., Cannon, SCOTUS) the failure to see justice done before the election was inevitable.

An important post. The word "regime" is the key. We definitely want to avoid normalizing this 'thing' and calling it a regime seems most appropriate..

This is a long but insightful thread about impending ACA actions. Even without repealing ACA widespread damage can be done. Take a look.

I just want to share this because of its importance. RFK Jr is a danger to the health of this country,

Tulsi Gabbard is the Russian agent we’re not talking enough about.

You have identified a core failing of Trump supporters. Sadly, I have no confidence that the Senators who are providing "scrutiny" now will actually do so when it matters. It is the public's scrutiny and outrage that is driving any changes in nominees, not the moral spine of Republican Senators,

Write, call, text or email your Senators. Keep the pressure on.

Let's add to the list of Trump pardons so that honest reactions to pardons can be considered: www.justice.gov/pardon/pardo...

Just to put Biden's pardon in perspective, here is a list of Trump's pardon's: www.justice.gov/pardon/pardo...

A useful resource for those keeping an eye on the never ending pecking away at public resources by charter schools.

Release the Gaetz report. Pass it on.

The truth is finally spoken.

It would be nice to add renewables to this graph to provide a fuller picture of our energy trajectory. Nevertheless it is insightful.

Just finished serving on a criminal trial that started the Monday before the election. It was a great distraction but also a stark reminder of the value of the rule of law. While imperfect, it is a valuable guardrail for society but especially the rich and powerful - if we can keep it.
