Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

Harvard University is set to launch free college courses online for every U.S. citizen, highlighting basic U.S. government, understanding the Constitution, and how to recognize a dictatorship takeover 101. The most important & relevant class a U.S. Citizen can take right now.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

Dear Canada- Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever. ❤️ from your neighbors below, 🇺🇸 #MakeAmericaNormalAgain

The LA Times Book Fest was this former English Major’s Coachella. Happened to also be an event of pure Asian American excellence. w/ @vietthanhnguyen.bsky.social Jon Chu, Harry Shum Jr., and Shelby Rabara.

AOC is speaking up with Bernie Sanders during their Fighting Oligarchy tour! Grateful to you for taking a stand and getting out there to create positive change!

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Over 1.5 million Arizonans receive Social Security – that’s money that belongs to you, not President Trump or Elon Musk. www.kvoa.com/news/arizona...

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

Dam Murphy has a brass set Good for him

BREAKING BAD NEWS: Trump is proposing eliminating Head Start: This is an abhorrent attack on children & families, ripping opportunities from our country’s youngest, damaging businesses & hurting our economy. Congress must hold the line & protect Head Start. #MomSky www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

Our libraries and library professionals are keystones of our communities fostering minds and offering services to individuals regardless of background. We must lift them up, especially this National Library Week, and demand that Trump and DOGE do not gut support for these vital institutions.

The Chairman of the FCC is proudly wearing his dear leader lapel pin. Funny how it looks similar to one of another countries dictator.

And his cabinet, And his donors from last weekends million-dollar-a-plate fundraiser at Mar-a-lago, And everyone who was invited to sit behind him at his inauguration, And their families.

Because they don't exist.

Unless I'm misunderstanding Trump's post, we still have 10 percent across the board tariffs and are in the midst of a trade war with China. That's not a good scenario for the US economy. Why is everyone acting like Trump just turned into Adam Smith?

So he tanks the markets with tariffs so the rich people can buy low, then pause it And the rich get richer Yep Chris you are so correct

As a reminder, when Trump says he is putting massive tariffs on China, or any nation, that means he is putting a massive tax on YOU. China doesn't pay a single penny. You, the consumer, do.

No words of wisdom or inspiration this morning. Just sending hugs to anyone who needs one. 🫂 #StrongerTogether #ResistAndPersist #ProudBlue

Stock up now

If ANYONE can be picked off the street and sent away without due process, EVERYONE can be picked off the street and sent away without due process… youtube.com/shorts/0_U6h...

Since Trump announced his worldwide tariffs: markets tanked, retirement accounts took a hit, and Americans are panicked. We can pass a resolution right now to stop this chaos–Republicans just need to grow a spine and put the American people over blind loyalty to Donald Trump.

Where is our Elliot Ness?

They labor under a sun that shows no mercy, their hands stained with the soil of a land that offers them no home. The promise of plenty has become the yoke they bear. Who speaks for the migrant worker, the heart of our harvest? Please share and support!!

A GOP-controlled state appeals court ruled last week that over 65,000 lawful votes cast in North Carolina's Supreme Court race can be thrown out — potentially handing the race to the Republican candidate. This is what stealing an election actually looks like.

Why don’t they want to talk to the press today

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

Make no mistake: Republicans are coming after Social Security that YOU pay into your entire life. They want to pay for tax cuts for billionaires by making it harder for YOU to get access to YOUR money. It’s wrong on so many levels.

The Trump administration is rolling back regulations for clean DRINKING WATER. Because who needs clean water, right? Video credit: www.instagram.com/reel/DFOi36I...

Almost 98, not too old to resist. #handsoff Montrose, CO

Here's how you end a Hands Off! demonstration, Santa Barbara style. Thanks to the Society of Fearless Grandmothers, who organized the human alphabet and took the drone shots! #indivisible #handsoff

Teddy said it, but I agree!

It’s insane to me that people actually thought a convicted felon and lifelong fraud who filed for bankruptcy 6 times would do anything other than take President Biden’s great economy and completely destroy it.
