President Zelensky responds to Donald Trump’s moronic analogy comparing him and Putin to two kids fighting in a park: “We are not kids with Putin at the playground. He is a murderer who came to the park to kill the kids.”

Once an Autocrat gets into office,…

OK enough is enough! ICE agents dressed like they are invading Fallujah! Wearing masks Pushing bystanders. Not identifying themselves as ICE. Not showing warrants! This is America knot 1936 Germany. THIS HAS TO STOP! Can we file a class action suit for terrorizing the population? ENOUGH!

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

As LBJ said 60 years ago, freedom is not just opening the gates of opportunity. True freedom is ensuring everyone has the ability to walk through them.

Why does this sound familiar?

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Good morning 🌞.....

If we are so concerned with budget cuts, cutting Medicaid/Medicare, why don't we cut Congress's benefits? They have the best health benefits of all? In fact, why don't we demand wage cuts? They make $175,000 a year, plus insider stock trading? Cut health benefits, jobs & wages - let's start here?

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

For the people who always say they're all the same.

Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories: “My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true” www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol...

Raise your hand if you agree that trump is the WORST President in the history of the United States. 🤚 And let's be friends

A real presidential post

A man who somehow went to Russia on a "all expenses paid" yacht cruise. He was then taken to Putin's hometown via helicopter. The coup is almost over, ladies and gentlemen.

Very. Accurate. And. Powerful. 😎✨

and nothing has changed.

Just Returning To The Pre-Reagan Tax Rates Would Make All The Difference We Need…

There are no words to describe how much I despise him.

CBS reporter Scott Pelley: This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”. If you haven’t already shared this, please do.

Another fact.

False, but not so quickly. Even though it was staged, two people did perish—the alleged shooter and a completely innocent person. Therefore, if it is proven, it would be a murder committed with the Secret Service's help—that is extremely serious.

Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw

America First = America Alone Unprecedented: the U.S. is the only country out of 184 to see a drop in international tourism this year. Everyone else is rebounding. We’re projected to lose $12.5 billion in spending—jobs, small businesses, entire communities will feel this.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always 

Isn’t this what you voted for MAGA ? #FAFO
