From the Revolutionary War through US history, men & women have died in service to our country. They didn't face the horrors of war to make rich people richer, or spread hunger and poverty. They did it for what democracy promises. Let's honor them this #MemorialDay by fighting for the same cause.

Banning books is more than just censorship – it’s an attack on our freedom to think, learn, and choose for ourselves. We all deserve access to diverse stories and ideas.

This, this, this!!

β€œHe will never earn the respect of most Americans & once-staunch democratic allies who despise what he is doing…No wonder he lashes out against America & all that it stands for while luxuriating in the pretend respect that he gets from autocrats & dictators.” www.americaamerica.news/p/hell-never...

For when we're done with the Nuremberg-style trials of the GOP pestilence, our "Sane Americans' To-Do List." Suggestions for the next version include End the Electoral College, Reproductive Freedom, Ban Congress Owning Stock, Sensible Gun Laws, Voting Rights Protections.

"After all these years in and around politics, I’d like to think I have a pretty strong stomach, but yesterday was sickening... This was not newsreel footage of two dictators meeting somewhere far away and long ago. This was yesterday. Here in the Oval Office." www.thebulwark.com/p/two-dictat...

This is a very good point. About a very feeble excuse.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.
