Why are the media not citing crowd sizes for yesterday's Hands Off demonstrations? In Fort Collins Colorado 2000 people registered for the event but by several people's estimates there were easily 10,000 participants.

We are not the party of the 'middle,' we are progressives and we need to proudly proclaim it. See how many people have attended Bernie's talks and how many young people are there. That is the future of the Democratic party and democracy. Go left or go home.

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

The senior military officer purges will put our troops in danger. Trump put a part-time airmen incharge of the military, jumping a slew of 3 and 4-stars with 30-40 years of military experience. Our enemy couldn’t be happier.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

Where is the DNC? Why aren't we seeing TV ads emphasizing the DOGE effect? Testimonials from farmers and others who are being destroyed by the brazen cuts should be highlighted. Come on folks, use the platforms where everyday people engage. Stir the pot and encourage the resistance.

Musk and his rats have nothing whatever to do with rooting out “waste and fraud.” Their real purpose is to usurp Congress’s authority over spending, under Article I Section 8 of the Constitution. Some thoughts...

Pretty thuggish way to treat a distinguished senior officer after a lifetime of serving her country. They relish the cruelty.

DOJ disbanding Task Force KleptoCapture, Kleptocracy Team, and the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery plays into hands of Putin and corrupt foreign oligarchs and criminals. This is what corruption looks like.

Replacing civil servants with loyalists. Upending the lives of millions who rely on federal programs. Grotesquely blaming "DEI" for disaster. Trump wants to consolidate power through divide-and-conquer tactics. We must stand together and fight back. youtu.be/wSYbNcjGjhA?...

Trump fires elite federal law enforcement officers to make room for criminals. Consequently, the corrupt will prosper and evade prosecution, the virtuous will be investigated, and all will be extorted and corrupted.

His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

The headline from WaPo, which makes it seem like this was a small squabble among colleagues, really underscores how serious this is. The white nationalist billionaire is forcing out career officials to gut our Social Security and Medicare.

Before voting to confirm RFK Jr., will GOP senators ask what "misconduct" he was accused of that was resolved with a settlement? Was it personal misconduct? Professional? Have there been more than one settlement? How recent? Will Democrats push for more info?

Trump has begun his cruel mass deportations, and many good people are endangered and frightened. Know your rights and protect your community. This is an urgent moral call to action.
