Clinton weighs in the persecution of Biden's age Clinton also mentions about how the courts are battling Cheeto youtu.be/nfh0iz9801k?...

It’s a flower. A magnificently beautiful flower. The hatred and rage that has been unleashed in this country is likely beyond any possibility of recovery.

Be brave.

This is another devastating result of project 2025. Deforestation. Logging. Drilling. Selling our public lands. Taking away tribal lands.

Find the No Kings protest near you.

These people are the biggest liars ever. Thanks, Amy.

First: RFK Jr cancels funding that Harvard & MIT use to study the molecular basis of autism. Then: RFK Jr. issues a report on autism with made-up scientific notations. youtu.be/9mBmNP7lb3E

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists. W/ @texastribune.org‬ @cazadoresdefakenews.info & Alianza Rebelde Investiga

This is a scene playing out at Job Corps centers across the country and it's absolutely devastating. DOGE celebrates while thousands of young people who dreamed of a better future are left behind.

Slava Ukraini! REPOST if you stand with the brave people of Ukraine and not Putin, Trump, and Vance.

I totally agree!

Vought wants to dismantle our gov and rebuild it into a dictatorship. His weapon is a fringe legal theory called the “unitary executive.” It claims the president should control the entire executive branch, with 🚫✅s from Congress, no independence for the courts, and no oversight from watchdogs. ❌👑.

This needs to be shared by everyone on this platform 🦋🫂🦋🫂🦋🫂🦋🫂🦋

Well I’m for it. 👇🏼

Hummmm

Patel’s actions “have obliterated decades of experience in national security and criminal matters at the FBI and raised questions about whether the agents taking over such critical posts have the institutional knowledge to pursue its work.” Jesus. What a nightmare.

BREAKING: More than 1,000 anti-Trump protests are now planned for June 14th, Donald Trump's birthday. Are you protesting?

Looks like the only real solution is to get an RV, or at least a vehicle that can be converted into an RV. That way we can escape the increasing costs of lodging here. A solid van or something like that would work well. If you can handle it, please donate tonight gofund.me/babd9034

The Trump Slump is affecting every state. That's why the Illinois General Assembly and I doubled down on fiscal responsibility. Despite all the headwinds from DC, Illinois' FY26 balanced budget invests in the future of our communities from education to health care.

It happens every few generations: It’s what drove Confederate oligarchs to attempt succession in the 1860s; robber barons to murder union organizers at the turn of the 20th century; and it’s why wages have stagnated since the Reagan revolution. The rise of greedy oligarchs. https://trib.al/8h7BsDK

Happy Pride Month!

Protect the Peaceful Protest ..

The Reagan Society is hosting a protest against Matt Gatez on June 7th! We hope to see you all there, loud and proud. This will be a sidewalk protest not hosted by UVTON but you’ll definitely see some familiar faces. Stay loud, proud, and nonviolent activists!

Eliminate the income cap and Social Security is solvent forever and could raise benefits for everyone. Easy, peasy.

It’s June — that means No Kings Day is almost here. Trump is ignoring the courts and the Constitution, so we’re gathering again on June 14 to remind him there are NO KINGS in our country.

If you love your country--and want to make sure enough of it remains for future generations--and so that it doesn't become a massive toilet of toxic despair, sign and pass along.

How Student Protesters and Immigrants Became Targets of Trump’s Surveillance Tech #BanICE

Seconded.

Rep. Dan Goldman called it out: masked ICE agents hiding from cameras while detaining migrants in plainclothes isn’t law enforcement—it’s authoritarianism. If it’s legal, why the disguise? This is Trump’s two-faced fascism. Protesters get punished for masks—agents get power. This is not democracy.
