I'm in Mountainside, NJ for the No Kings protest. Come join me, be on the right side of today!

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Mountainside” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Devoting a 352-page book to unmasking a president who is no longer in office instead of the one currently sowing global chaos indicates serious mental impairment, experts say.

June 14, save the date. Millions of us are showing up in the streets all across the nation to protest Trump's regime. We’ll see you there. #50501movement #NoKings

It’s like this administration has a kink for starting fights they’re 100% going to lose

More winning. Trump’s actions are causing deals to happen all over the world and new alliances, just none of them with us! www.newsweek.com/greenland-tr...

I'll be in Princeton, NJ protesting No Kings. Come join me!

Rise up! Call your elected officials! Hold them accountable!

A good post today from @hcrichardson.bsky.social regarding the new Pope. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-8-2025

A good editorial piece in today's NY Times. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

MORALITY is doing what is right, regardless of what you are told. RELIGION is doing what you are told, regardless of what is right.

Yes ... This!! www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-cogn...

Trump is planning a massive military parade in Washington, DC on June 14th in honor of Trump's Birthday! The WH claims it's to recognize the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. Besides that not being factually correct, we've never recognized that date until it was also ... yep, Trump's Birthday!

Love to see it !!!

The Trump family’s cryptocurrency business just got a $2B investment from a firm backed by the United Arab Emirates government. With this deal, they will be enriched beyond most people’s comprehension—and they have the UAE government to thank for it.

Trump is threatening to revoke Harvard’s tax exempt status because the university refused to cave to his demands. Why is he so hell-bent on attacking universities? Because an educated and informed citizenry has always been the biggest threat to a dictator's power.

Both Rubio's tweet, and the response, are remarkable artifacts. You have a Secretary of State tweeting right wing talking points to defend Neo Nazis, and the country where Nazis originated telling him to sod off.

Seems contradictory to me that the US has been attacking Houthi rebels for over a month now supposedly to defend and protect merchant shopping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, while at the same time raising tariffs on everything so we can't import the goods those ships carry anyway.

What a great collection, albeit absurd, of regime's activity today. I'm not sure which paragraph is more frustrating, but all are so disheartening. #KeepingUpTheFight www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Trump would sneer at this as woke and DEI and smash it if he could.

Capitulation, Capitulation, Capitulation - CBS and parent company Paramount trying to sway Trump's lawsuit, and close a merger deal needing FCC approval, by moderating 60-Minutes. Kudo's to Executive Producer Bill Owens for not wanting to be party to it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/b...

‘Afraid’ is one word we can do without. For Republicans, it means bad press or a tough primary—not threats to life or liberty. Jen Rubin explains the cost of their silence.

Exactly!

Be part of it everyone!!
