Do people in the USA really think there will be free unrigged elections in 2026 and 2028?

White farmers didn't want to vote for a black woman and now they have their hands out.

The Supreme Court is working hard to turn this country into a despot's dreamscape—while making it nigh impossible for good people to make lasting change for the better. Those of us who begged folks (and national media) to put SCOTUS before everything else in 2016 are in an endless Cassandrian hell.

"First he came for the female reporters, and I said nothing because I wasn't a female reporter." The silence of media bosses is an embarrassing scandal.

I’m old enough to remember when the right melted down after Michelle Obama suggested people eat more vegetables

Remember back when the SCOTUS was howling about overstep by President Biden at every turn?

"The big thing is Trump’s desire to consolidate power in his hands...show the law doesn't apply to him. He's president, he does what he wants to do. And number two, to dominate the Western Hemisphere. The drugs, I don’t think, are central to what he’s doing." open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Israel is reproducing the highest crimes of the Age of Colonial Barbarity upon the People of Palestine in the broadest light of day, and the World is indifferent. IDF Chief announces Yellow Line, which they have moved illegally multiple times, will now serve as the new enforced border. LAND THEFT

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has made it official. She's running for the US Senate in Texas – while former Rep. Colin Allred ends his own campaign for the US Senate nomination in favor of attempting a House comeback bid.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

The Department of Justice (DOJ) will potentially treat opponents of President Donald Trump’s policies as “domestic terrorists,” according to a leaked memo from Attorney General Pam Bondi to all U.S. law enforcement agencies. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Disgusting. It will take a long time to regain trust with countries who were once allies. #USDemocracy www.bbc.com/news/article...

The United States gives far too much power, money, and influence to silly people with heads full of nonsense.

Would you support President 🇺🇦 Zelensky receiving the Nobel Peace Prize?

People detained at the nation’s largest ICE detention center report that officers have beaten them and used the threat of violence and criminal charges to coerce non-Mexican immigrants into crossing the border into the Mexican desert. We're demanding that the facility be shut down immediately.

It's not "free-market conservatism" when Trump uses government power to sabotage farmers' markets and then spends taxpayer money to bail them out, making them more dependent on the government. It's what dictators want: everyone dependent on their personal whims.

New professional student loan caps might make it more difficult for people to pursue advanced nursing degrees. via @stateline.org

I don’t trust Sen. Cassidy on any healthcare bill as far as I can throw him. He torpedoed public health under former Gov. Jindal in Louisiana and brought America the tie breaking vote on anti-vaccine nutjob RFK Jr. Just be very aware folks. Wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Because Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans have failed to extend ACA premium tax credits, the cost of health insurance is about to skyrocket for half a million Pennsylvanians. And for 150,000 of them, health care coverage will now be too expensive to afford. Donald Trump did that.

Nothing is normal Guardrails are gone A mad king was crowned Democracy is done Elections are rigged Justices are bought Politicians are shameless Even when caught People are hungry Solutions are few No one is coming But I’ll stand with you

How the Dems PARTICIPATED in the PLUNGE into authoritarianism: Putting the needs & interests of Israel before the American people. Refusing to acknowledge election interference. Swinging to the right over decades. Helping to dismantle the social welfare state. INACTION AFTER AN INSURRECTION

The Washington Post is determined to put The Onion out of business.

🚨ENTIRE World GOES TO WAR as Trump makes FOOL OF HIMSELF

TRUMP WANTS US CHILLED, AFRAID AND HIDING FROM HIS GOONS. STOP. DONT GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS. GET MORE VOCAL. GET LOUDER. GET INTO A PROTEST. ACTIVATE YOURSELVES INTO ACTION. WORDS ARE CHEAP. THEY WONT SAVE YOU. ACTION IS COMPELLING. GET ON THE STREETS! IT SHOCKS THE PUBLIC...WAKES THEM UP.

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days True work life balance Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

"The National Security Strategy published late last week...marks a sharp break with the direction of U.S. national security strategy since 1941...With 27 instances of Trump’s name in a mere 29 pages of text, it is a strategy document worthy of North Korea." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Can we talk about Steve Bannon helping Jeffrey Epstein behind the scenes a fraction as much as we talked about Hunter Biden's corruption?

Around a million Syrians have returned since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024. And every day at Damascus airport, families separated by years of war and dictatorship, are finally being reunited.

A date which will live in infamy. Today, we commemorate the more than 2,400 Americans who were lost during the attack on Pearl Harbor. We are forever indebted to the courage of those who stood up for democracy and freedom — and we will never forget their sacrifice.

The public is waking up: vouchers are a sneak attack on public schools.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the oligarchs, backed by the scum in the Kremlin and the White House, want to carve up Europe between the USA and Russia.

My law firm is currently intervening to defend against this in the first 8 lawsuits DOJ filed. More soon.

Congresswoman says she was shoved & pepper-sprayed after identifying herself during ICE operation. "‘When I presented myself as a member of Congress asking for more information, I was pushed aside and pepper sprayed.’" www.commondreams.org/news/adelita...

Reject any and every lie of this regime that they are fighting the drug trade. Their boss pardons a drug kingpin who helped bring 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

84 years ago today: Pearl Harbor, the culmination and consequence of two decades of retreat into isolationism, nationalism, nativism, protectionism, and a refusal to defend democracy and confront the dictators. We have started down that path again. conversationswithbillkristol.org/conversation...

WORLD I'm an American Do NOT come to this dangerous country Our American president is MURDERING his very own citizens He started murdering POC and is now murdering whites who resist and who are trying to help POC He is a psychopath

“America fought World War II to defend democracy from fascism. And while fascism preserved hierarchies in society, democracy called on all men as equals.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social If you’re not yet following Letters from an American, it’s worth doing. #NoKings #EndFascism

There is not one major institution in the country stopping Trump from destroying our country. Republican led Congress has ceded all their power to Trump. The Supreme Court is the judicial arm of the Trump administration. Media refuses to call out the threat from Trump. I don’t know how we survive !
