Hoping people will stay far away from the Trump Military Parade/Birthday Party!! Resist by coming out in MASSIVE numbers with our signs to protest far away from parade route on National Day of Protest. No onlookers means no support for Trump. We love our Military but they are being used!

So many of us were taught about doing what is RIGHT and NOT doing what is wrong. Cruelty, Corruption, Lying, and being Vengeful are WRONG. It is that simple.

#PopeLeoXIV
American born who speaks many languages will lead the way for us to push aside this evil Trump era we are experiencing. He, like Pope Francis, stands for ALL people, even immigrants. Renewed HOPE has arrived from beloved Pope Francis’s death.
Now let’s rise up & resist Authoritarianism.

NOW…as life closes for my generation… my world has been replaced with LIES, CORRUPTION & CRUELTY.
Hope my words will inspire some words from you, Joshua, to help comfort.

My generation has fought wars, fought for civil rights, fought for women’s rights & endured financial hard times. Progress sometimes came slowly, sometimes rapidly. Loving our country & honoring its values lead the way to set the stage for our future generations. NOW…that world has been replaced.

GOP have no intention of impeaching Trump bc they are ALL into his authoritarian ways. The GOP has gone rogue crazy on power desperately wanting to be elected again knowing Trump has threatened them by saying if they don’t toe the line he will use money to defeat them in primaries. GOP Chickens!!

Today 4/30/25 Republicans continued to give ALL their power over to the dictator-Trump by blocking investigation into dear incompetent Pete’s actions. The circle of Authoritarianism is almost complete with only the Courts-struggling & WE, THE PEOPLE to rise up in mass protest! (Pritzker)

Yes, the best Pope ever! But there representing the US at his funeral is the corrupt lying tyrant not of the people who is all about cruelty and vengeance. Pope Francis was a remarkable leader of the church for ALL the people. So thankful for Pope Francis’s presence in my lifetime. ❤️

Oust GOP Congress & Trump’s senile attempt at being a king. Embarrassing to us in front of the world. Destroying everyone’s lives.

Disgusting Trump is going to the funeral of the “Pope of the People” when Trump is all about himself & has distain for us people! Going to the funeral for the Pope that embraced immigrants and climate change and spoke out against Trump’s policies. His presence is an ugly situation!

I’m still protesting the fact that DOGE has my personal information and no one seems to be doing anything about this illegal grab of private data. Help! Elon Musk and his team get to walk away after
stealing sensitive information?? Where is the accountability?? I am not okay with this!!!

I agree - disgusting human being. And we want him negotiating with foreign countries? And we want him running our country? Please … let’s knock him off his Throne like has been suggested … one leg at a time from the bottom up until he sits on the ground powerless.

On this Easter I reflect & see remnants of the civil rights movements in the 60’s & 70’s taking hold again proudly & destroying FACTS & TRUTH. We teachers enjoyed perpetuating respect & caring for ALL. We kept our American flags in places of honor to teach its burdens & importance. Ignorance now!

Grin.. giggle… there is no Spring at Mt. Rainier like in the city. We here in the city close to you are blooming now too. Paradise has mainly snow from Oct to late June and then summer flowers followed by great fall colors and back to snow covering trails. Look at the live webcam at the park. Fun! 😊

No, taken in April. Snow stays until late June or July.😊 Meadow flowers in late July and August.

I, too, love the Pacific Northwest. In April snowshoeing at Paradise - Mt. Rainier Nat’l Park is so much fun on blue sky days.

Yes…Ignorance!! As a retired teacher who has experienced curriculums dropping important history and government classes for more neutral curriculums, I believe even our Congressional Leaders should be required to go through a class about how government works before they take their oath.

Silence is not Golden. It leads to losing freedom of voice and choice to the billionaire oligarchy with a vengeful deranged leader. The time is now to speak loudly before it is too late.
