I don't dispute that the Salvation Army does good - providing food & shelter for the poor. But, they have a long history of anti-LGBT policies (see below). Current reports are that they are not as antigay now, but still oppose marriage equality. There are worthy charities without antigay history.

Instead of weakening the Kremlin's negotiating position, Trump has weakened our sanctions for 10 months and counting by letting evasion go unchecked. Congress must review any proposed unwinding of sanctions instead of letting Trump cede leverage without achieving a just peace.

Are you happy Republicans? Did you heed Gods word? I don’t think so. While you cruise around in donors yachts babied died needlessly. Farmers lost the family land. Fake Humans. That’s maga. Fake human beings

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

WAPO: “.. The Agriculture Department is preparing to fire an employee in the division that handles food benefits after she publicly warned that the shutdown could have negative impacts on the millions of Americans who rely on the federal government ..” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

no see using these photos would be beneath the Times, which would never take material from a dubious source, unless it was, say, hacked documents showing that a guy born in Africa had put 'African-American' on his application form for a university he didn't get into. You know, something important.

Raskin: If this were to pass, this astounding provision would give eight Republican senators a personal payday of at least a million dollars each, paid for by the U.S. Taxpayers at a time when we are throwing millions of people off of their health care…

Elbows Up 🇨🇦 🍁

The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.

This likely won’t be the last intelligence sharing suspension we see over this - based on the publicly available evidence, these strikes don’t come close to meeting the threshold for deadly force.

He just doesn't understand the assignment. "Standing up to Trump" isn't the goal, or even *a* goal. It's the method by which the Dems 1) let Trump implode as he screws the country, and 2) demonstrate that the Dems are capable of fighting against Trump, and are therefore a credible alternative.

Good for Ossoff. The increase costs for healthcare will mean families will have none. Food assistance is always available at food banks which all citizens should support. Replace the democrats that caved.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

"A team of independent forensic analysts examined their testimony. The experts called it consistent and credible, saying most of the acts described met the United Nations’ definition of torture." In our name, with our tax dollars. Trump II is an indelible stain on our national honor.

So true!

⚠️ It should make every American sick that the Supreme Court is siding with a man fighting to not feed hungry children.

More than generous offer.

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

#US accused of threatening #EU diplomats during bid to kill green shipping rules by Karl Mathiesen, Gabriel Gavin, Louise Guillot, Nahal Toosi and Ben Lefebvre Negotiators at shipping talks in London were told both they and their countries could be punished unless they voted with the U.S.

The “what should poor people be allowed to eat” debate is infuriating. The answer is simple. They should be allowed to eat anything. It’s no one’s business. Ideally we would agree that food is a basic human right & it would be plentiful for all. Until then, stop judging. Fed is best.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

🥺😔😡🤬

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

MICHIGAN: “A lawyer who represents a man from the suburb of Dearborn who was said federal authorities haven’t given him many details about the investigation, said he doesn’t expect any charges will be filed…” 🤔 (Anything to distract from #PlaneGate, eh Kash?) apnews.com/article/detr...

On DHS’s unauthorized use of Norman Rockwell’s paintings across social media, an op-ed from our family today in @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

If you’re shocked by the Heritage Foundation defending Tucker Carlson — who’s done more to normalize antisemitism & white nationalism than almost anyone — you haven’t been paying attention. That same extremism is at the core of Project 2025, from mass deportations to gutting core democratic rights.

Obama headlining rallies this Saturday in Virginia and New Jersey to energize Democrats before key gubernatorial elections. Just 10 months into catastrophic Trump’s second term, these races will gauge the nation’s mood as Republicans flounder without a clear leader. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

President Obama on Donald Trump: “He’s deploying the National Guard into American cities claiming to stop crime waves that don’t actually exist. We’ve got masked ICE agents pulling up in unmarked vans and grabbing people including US citizens”

UN HUMAN RIGHTS CHIEF: “These attacks and their mounting human cost are unacceptable…. airstrikes by 🇺🇸 on boats in the Caribbean and in the Pacific violate international human rights law…” apnews.com/article/un-u...

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

The choice is on-going capitulation, so far....

#ProudBlue #Pinks #ResistanceUnited Good Monday morning, friends. If you're feeling drained or depleted, it's perfectly okay. Give yourself the gift of self-care, allowing yourself to recharge and relax without an ounce of guilt.

. Monday thoughts . . . ... by President Jimmy Carter 💙 😔 💙

TRUMP: “We made a lot of money on that Argentina election.” Trump takes credit for interfering in Milei’s win after he meddled, sending Argentina $40 Billion only if he wins — and says they may send more. (As they take market share from our farmers) Ask yourself: who is “WE”? (Hint: Not YOU)
