TRUMP MUST NOT BE FORGIVEN for what he put the world through today. Traumatic abuse is his specialty and his fetish. This will repeat. You don’t get credit for spinning the chamber with a gun to our heads, landing on an empty cylinder

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry.

YouTube Channel. Volunteers are outside of ICE detention centers when detainees are released in the middle of the night in frigid temperatures. They get them clothes, a phone to call family and a ride. Help support them if you can.

It was never about the drugs. 5 minutes into the speech Trump is saying that American oil interests will take over the oil facilities. More money to be had by him and his buddies.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

A new CBO analysis of Trump's Big Ugly Bill reveals it's even better for the ultra-rich than originally thought. Under the law, the richest 10% of households will GAIN $13,600 per year, while the poorest 10% will LOSE $1,200 per year. Reverse Robin Hood.

The Residence on Netflix was fantastic. Incredible cast, brilliant writing, lots of fun. Of course Netflix is cancelling it. Wouldn't be surprised if they were scarred. The reveal at the end could be seen as an indictment on how the rich actually view democracy and our govt. institutions.

If your legislation is so popular and good for the American people, why do you have to push it through in the wee hours of the morning and on weekends? Why the rush and subterfuge if it's so good for us? Aren't you proud of the bills you're trying to cram down our throats?

If you are going to a protest this weekend, or you think there is any situation in which you might interact with law-enforcement: turn Face ID and thumbprint lock off. Passcode only. Cops can compel you to open your phone with face or thumb w/o a warrant. They can't compel you to enter a code.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

If anyone in America was confused about who Trump supports and is loyal too, it’s not the American people, it’s clearly himself and all his wealthy supporters, also known as Oligarchs… Helping the American people is not even on his radar, only, how does he bleed us dry!

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.
