Just. Say. No. No to tyranny. No to totalitarianism. No to the trampling human rights. No to oligarchs stealing OUR money. No to selling out Americans to Russia. No to betraying the ideals on which we were founded.

A liar, a thief, and a crook walk into a bar. The barman turns and asks, “Oh hello, President Trump, will you be having the usual today?”

Well that’s one way of doing it!

Impeachable act after impeachable act. I hope someone is keeping track of all this graft. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

So my sister, who is slowly dying of pancreatic cancer, has a few months to live, cannot get Aetna to approve the only pain drug that helps her function, helps her deal with the chemo that prolongs her life. She can’t afford it without insurance. Medicare Advantage: privatized death panels.

Is POTUS threatening a US citizen??? Bruce Springsteen no less???

‘Bout sums it up.

"Refusal is active. Angry. It demands struggle. An attachment to the righteousness of fossil fuel lifestyles, and to all the hierarchies that depend upon fossil fuels, produces a desire to not just deny, but to refuse climate change, and a willingness to engage in authoritarianism to do so"

Revised Headline: Not happy with the number of white supremacists here in America, Trump is now importing racists from other countries. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Here we are.

The United States seeks world domination. It is an enemy to basic human rights and fundamental freedoms. Will the world’s democracies will declare an economic war to attempt to minimize the US threats? Will China and India ultimately join the US in a triumvirate of world totalitarianism?

Trump crypto corruption. Bleeding America dry, drop by bloody drop. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"The White House and congressional leaders I regularly brief know that Washington's debt path is unsustainable. They also expect to be out of government when the bill comes due and see no reason to anger voters in the meantime," Jessica Riedl writes:

This is HUGE! They are arresting the judiciary!!! www.rawstory.com/hannah-dugan...

Dear World, We apologize. (or at least more than 50% of us do, 30% or so of us are deeply committed racists and completely brainwormed) We are embarrassed.

INVESTIGATION: Trump’s administration halted a probe of surveillance pricing — now “price optimization” consultants are helping corporations weaponize Trump’s tariffs to jack up prices on consumers. “Now is the time to take advantage,” said one consultant www.levernews.com/how-trump-is...

Will someone please get this man a bra???

Louisiana’s death row has a staggering rate of wrongful convictions. Since 1976, over 80% of people sentenced to death in the state have had their sentences reversed.

Thousands of people rallied at hundreds of events across the U.S. on Saturday to protest the Trump administration’s handling of immigration, civil liberties, federal job cuts and other issues. nyti.ms/3EyqNkh

It is inhuman. It is vile. www.reuters.com/world/us/new...

We are all so screwed.

READ: They’re deporting pro-Palestine students, flirting with annexing Canada, and turning Gaza into a resort. It’s not satire. It’s the Trump doctrine: chaos, white supremacy, and genocidal theater. Rev. Graylan Hagler says: stay angry, stay loud, stay in the fight. mondoweiss.net/2025/04/cont...

Don't look away #Palestine

“Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.” Ghandi

“Blue Cross had refused to pay thousands of claims for the center’s patients, but on several occasions execs at the insurance company had signed special one-time deals with the center to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment.”

Republicans are STILL trying to disenfranchise legal votes - and voters.

Disgusting.

Finally. But ALL universities should stand up against unlawful attempts by any administration. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u...

Well. Humph. Now we know. The US is a totalitarian regime, ignoring the rule of law and Constitution. They can come for anyone, anywhere, anytime. And they will. Who’s next? thehill.com/regulation/c...

And he shall forevermore be remembered for 1:6.

Do you have any idea how hard it was to get fired by the Milwaukee police department in 2012? Borderline impossible. This is insanity:

A reader make a good observation: When the U.S. govt was panicking and claiming TikTok was pushing too much content showing the suffering and the reality in Gaza, we now know for sure Instagram was actually suppressing the same.

North Carolina judges ordered ballot checks in tight race won by Democrat Riggs. That means they are handing the election to the man who lost. Republicans have disenfranchised NC voters. This is headed to the ultra right wing SCOTUS. Stay tuned.

Climate experts expressed shock and dismay at the move. “It would be a bit like unplugging the equipment that monitors the vital signs of a patient that is critically ill,” one said. By @fastlerner.bsky.social

Trump refuses to obey a court order. Even SCOTUS said he should be returned. Who will blink? If Trump does NOT return this illegally deported man, we will know what America is. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

A new study from the RAND Corporation finds that $79 TRILLION was taken from the bottom 90% of the country. America’s problem is not a lack of “abundance.” America’s problem is oligarchs hoarding the abundance for themselves while everyone else suffers. www.levernews.com/abundance-is...

Could not resist reposting

The White House through the DOJ is defying a direct order by a judge to find Garcia- and after the DOJ lost at SCOTUS. Justice is headed into lawlessness. If this stands, the US will now be truly a dictatorship.
