Friend's husband had a heart attack. Police comes to the door to tell her. She's afraid to answer because she thinks it's ICE. She's been a citizen for 50 years since the fall of Saigon. How much trauma must one person endure?

If you're going to screw over your citizens, the least you can do is own it. There are funds available to help people, they just refuse to do it. How dare they use government sites to post their filth.

Not every parent felt their children should be there, but those who didn't had their kids make signs and drove them slowly past the protesters honking thier support all the way. We saw young, old, disabled, and people of all backgrounds. Many had their, "I voted today" stickers on. #NoKings

I don't always think about TrUmp, when I do, I think of this quote (from Blazing Saddles) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Izit...

Even though this video is old, it should be updated to represent all of us. It should be played every day on loud speakers facing the White House. America hates him! www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1F9...

There are days when- I just can't. The news, the social media. All of it is too much. I don't want to think about evil. The goal is do better, not to think you are better.

I hope it rains on his parade.

Silence is a kind of power. It's also chains that keep you down. They say there is nothing more dangerous than a silently smiling woman. Or a man with nothing left to lose. Nothing happens unless we act. But that's a fallacy. Sh*t happens until we act.

I keep looking at the weather for Washington DC on June 14. I'm hoping for rain.

Read the following list. Then realize that it's a partial list of grievances not about Trump, but about the King of England. In 1776. The list is in our Declaration of Independence. This is our "course of human events." What will we do?

Old story of a manager's predecessor leaving three envelopes. When in trouble, he was to open the first envelope. "Blame your predecessor." Next time, "Time to reorganize." Finally the last envelope read, "Time to prepare three envelopes." Trump has opened the first two. It's time for the third.

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide.

Not a day goes by that I am forced to wonder, "What horrible thing did Trump do today?" Just once, I'd like to see news that he did something GOOD for the majority of the people he's supposed to serve. It's just bad news that gets worse every day. Every day, every day.

While I admire the courage of those who resign in protest, what I'd really admire is the companies/firms who hire them next. Companies, put out ads directed at them and fired government workers. "Recently fired due to DOGE? Now hiring people with integrity." Let's make THAT happen.

Hey billionaires and corporations, who is going to buy your crap when we are all dead?

We could have had Kamela. We could've... I feel like we've been brought into an alternate timeline. All we need is 1.21 gigawatts and we can correct this horror show.

Which new outrage is worth my time? Which lawless and cruel new edict is worth getting angry over? I'm tired. We're all tired. Disgusted. Beyond the point of caring. Isn't that where they want us?

$4.5T in tax cuts. $2T in spending cuts. A $4T debt increase. House Republicans call this “enacting Trump’s full agenda.” In reality, it’s the same old scheme—massive giveaways for the rich, brutal cuts for everyone else, and a growing national debt to pay for it.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

"The US Treasury claimed DOGE... didn't have the ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending when he actually did." What if the code said that for every transaction, a "service fee" of $ was sent directly to some made up off-shore account for Trump/Musk? How would we know?

My US Representative is Republican. I wrote to him anyway to asked for his help to stop the madness. I'm not sure my voice will matter to him, but it matters to me that I tried. Find your congressmen's email by putting in your ZIP code in the address below. www.congress.gov/members/find...

The House Republicans listed below are vulnerable in 2026. They will only vote to cut our benefits if they think no one is watching. If you live in these districts, or know anyone who does, CALL NOW and tell them to keep their hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!

Hoping for a sale on the cost of a flight to a dream trip to a National Park. Flights are now $277 MORE per ticket than last month. Will it even be safe? National Park Service has had to rescind more than 2,000 jobs. www.npca.org/articles/668... I'll say it again. This ain't making American great.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Thinking about this Star Trek episode. Picard wants to take a stand and fight. He blames others who won't hold the line but instead fall back. He's driven by vengeance so much he won't save his crew. We still have a country to save. Let's draw a line. Any line. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeGM...

I'd rather lose my job than lose my country.

I AM mad as hell. I created this account because 30 years in the public sector has made me afraid to voice my opinion.

American politics would be funny if it was only a joke.
