Hopefully Trump won’t call in the National Guard and the Marines when the cast of “Les Miserables” starts singing “Do You Hear The People Sing?” I think he’s too shallow and stupid to understand the irony.

ACLU Statement: "[T]he Trump administration is putting Angelenos in danger, creating legal and ethical jeopardy for troops, and recklessly undermining our foundational democratic principle that the military should not police civilians." "unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power"

Democrats have been up since 1am, fighting Trump’s scheme to transfer money for services that benefit us all to give a huge new tax break to the wealthiest people in this country. Why the Republicans are falling in line for this betrayal of our kids, veterans, and seniors?

Two months have passed and over 200 people are still unlawfully imprisoned in an El Salvadoran concentration camp. Kidnapped and trafficked to another country. No due process. Court orders blatantly ignored. We must not forget, they must be returned, and those responsible must be held accountable.

Our society is unrecognizable from what we once were. We used to believe in something, we used to represent something, but lately Lady Liberty’s light burns dim. Her tears slowly burning out what once was a roaring flame fueled by the dream that one day we could all be free.

Ousting David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta from their DNC positions is a huge mistake. The infighting within our party and suppression of progressive voices is going to give away a free win in the midterms. If we don’t start capitalizing on Trump’s chaos and making actual change, we’re fucked!

Great Replacement Theory in action… On day one, Donald Trump suspended the refugee settlement admissions program. But now he’s giving white Afrikaners U.S. citizenship because they “could be assimilated easily into our country”? This isn’t a dog whistle—it’s a freaking bullhorn!

www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o... We all need to read this, feel afraid and angry, and then take that fear and anger and channel them into a fight for our democracy. If we don’t all join together and fight, it will soon be too late.
