Keep fighting back. Remember the Polish opposition slogan following the December 1981 declaration of martial law: "The winter is yours. The spring will be ours."

For those folks who have been waiting to climb the pole and ring the “constitutional crisis” bell, it would appear we have arrived. Neither Judge Sorokin nor Judge Boasberg believed that he was signing a meaningless order, and both judges demanded compliance that never came.

Social security is a set of trust funds with a balance of about $2.7 trillion as of December 2024. We are the source of these funds. It belongs to us. These funds should be protected so we can protect each other. www.ssa.gov/oact/progdat...

Watching an administration of violent, sieg heiling christo-fascists use Jewish vernacular while enacting Nazi policies against a marginalized group is more obscene than anything I could ever draw. Hope they all get what they richly deserve. 👍

I was today years old when I learned boycotting was illegal. Up until this point, I thought we had the freedom to decide where to spend our money.

Trump is bulldozing the Education Department, which helps homeless and disabled kids gain access to school, while he does a car commercial at the White House for the richest man in the world. Robber barons are waging class warfare on the rest of us.

This should scare everyone. The Trump admin revoked Mahmoud’s legal status, kidnapped him, and is now holding him in an ICE detention facility without any due process. Trump is an authoritarian, testing the limits to see how much he can get away with. He won’t stop here.

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities. We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication. This is inhumane and illegal.

Anyone wonder why the Black-bodied Rep Al Green was censured by Congress for shouting truth to evil during Trump's SOTU while the white-bodied Rep MTG was not censored for screaming LIAR during Biden's SOTU?

Trump doesn’t understand how international trade works. How NATO works. How the Federal Government works. How equal justice works. He doesn’t understand diplomacy, alliances or economics. He doesn’t know what climate change or ‘seeking asylum’ is. He is a dangerous imbecile, violating our humanity.

Trying to explain this story as if one is speaking to a small child. Members of congress, whose job it is to set federal spending, now get to call Elon, who is for some reason controlling federal spending, to plead for changes to federal spending????? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

The underfunding of public education, and the diversion of funds into the two failing private systems, has driven property taxes skyrocketing throughout the state. That’s because local governments are forced to make up the gap left by the lower share of state support.
