Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

What protests are happening in Washington, DC this weekend? Or, soon? And, how can we find out in advance so we can participate? We're retired, and want to make our voices heard.

Elon Musk's reported data breach at the Treasury Dept. is wrong and puts your personal info, including your Social Security numbers, at risk. As we fight to prevent him from having access, I urge each of you to lock down your social security numbers and print out your benefit pages.

canceling the commissary — and i would assume, exchange — program is a one way ticket to getting a bonus army situation. for those unaware, the commissaries and exchanges are subsidized grocery and department stores for service members, veterans and their families.

Fully 75% of immigrant farm workers didn’t show up to work the other day in Bakersfield, California because of fears of ICE raids. America’s agricultural communities will be the hardest hit from Trump’s harsh immigration policies. Food prices are going to skyrocket. americasvoice.org/blog/immigra...

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
