‼️ This is absolutely absurd. Trump is actively manufacturing a crisis. The Pentagon just announced that he’s federalizing another 2,000 California National Guard troops bringing the total to 4,000, plus 700 active-duty Marines heading into LA. This is a military occupation, not public safety.

This is a very good idea. Take care of these badly used National Guard members. They take care of their fellow citizens in all kinds of disasters. Trump is abusing them.

In 2024, we warned of the darkness of a future Trump dictatorship. Jailing leaders of American cities, disappearing dissenters, and using military force to harm Americans. That future is on our doorstep. But we can stop it. Don't be afraid to exercise your power and tell Trump enough is enough.

President Trump just floated sanctioning Ukraine for fighting back against Russia's aggression. America deserves a leader, not a president who bows to Putin, and every lawmaker should condemn this.

If you’re going to speculate about a former POTUS, can we ask why the CURRENT guy spends so much time on the links, rarely works, displays no empathy for Biden’s health, and reposts a social media claim that Biden was executed and has been replaced by clones and machinery. Bueller? Anybody?

She really did say exactly that. It’s not a bad joke. Republicans: Women, gays and not white peoples go back to where we told you that you had to be in 1950. No RIGHTS for you!! You can only do what we give you permission to do, If and when we give you permission, when we feel like it.
