Pity the nation — oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode and their freedoms to be washed away. My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty. ― Lawrence Ferlinghetti (1919-2021), 2007 DEMOCRACY DIES IN IGNORANCE

No need to subscribe to read, just click on the no thanks. "As Joe Biden used to say, just enough of us. It doesn’t have to be a landslide. The fever needs to subside in a few more places, not everywhere. This week, it looks like we continue on that trajectory. It is slow. It is frustrating."

Ummm. really? "Stop paying federal taxes"? You go girl, but come back next year and tell us how that worked for you. Or is this a you should do as I suggest, but I myself won't do it?

If Trump policies are causing you grief, share it with the house Democrats. They need to know how widespread and where the problems are. This page and the links have good information too. litigationandresponse.house.gov

Trump order's a military takeover of state land without congressional authorization -- usurping state's rights. Trump will have anyone arrested and detained for being in the 170 mile strip of land along the southern border. youtu.be/Pt9SbjA83no?...

Trump is usurping states rights by creating a phony "envionmental crisis". He has sent the US military to the southern border, a takeover zone of 170 miles. Troops have been ordered to arrest and confine everyone crossing this strip of land for any reason. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

This is happening now, manufactured "contingencies for suspending a state’s rights", w/ Trump's military takeover by "creating a military buffer zone" of 170 miles on the border. www.businessinsider.com/us-mexico-so...

"Incompetent" -- During the years this guy spent in politics, he manifesto'ed lot of damage before he was stopped -- even though his naysayers viewed him and his crew as "incompetent". Think Project 2025. I re-gifted this a 2nd time. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump said to the dictator: "home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.” Yep, if we aren't maga lickers, then we are "home-growns".

That Zuch, his board, and major shareholders could be held accountable is welcome. However, now extrapolate that to -- this is Trump's FTC, he has extorted law firms, & has (pizza) threatened judges. A pro-bono case w/ a threatened judge doesn't bode well for justice.

Freedom rings true when it is not force-fed.
