And every elected official should echo James’s powerful words: “I will not be silenced. I will not be bullied. I will not bend. I will not break. And I will not bow to anyone. No one is above the law, including the president of these United States.”

“Give Us Barabbas” Freeing the guilty. Crucifying the innocent. Washing his hands. Hmmm. Who does that sound like today?

The Holocaust Encyclopedia defines a concentration camp as follows: What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process. And it’s happening again.

THIS. Remaining quiet in turbulent times is a luxury that perceived privilege and intellectual ignorance afford. I want to look back at the end of my life and know that I did all I could to protect diversity, equality, and justice.

Everyone should be concerned about this breach. Mahalo to whistleblower Daniel Berulis for having the courage to come forward even after he was targeted and threatened.

The Trump administration sent 238 migrants to a prison in El Salvador under a wartime act, calling them members of a Venezuelan gang. But a New York Times investigation found little evidence of criminal backgrounds or links to the gang.

Rep. Nancy Mace posted on X: “I want our kids to learn about A-E-I-O-U instead of L-G-B-T-Q.” … Zoe Rose Bryant responded: “Hi, pre-k teacher here. No need to worry, Nancy, it’s in our curriculum to cover all the letters eventually. This week we’re working on S-T-F-U.”

President Donald Trump told us why Abrego Garcia cannot be brought back because his continued imprisonment there is key to the Trump administration’s lawless plans to create an outside-the-law prison system to hold anyone it dislikes, including U.S. citizens.

American prisoners are American citizens. They are not pawns to be shuffled about the world to far-flung prisons as part of Stephen Miller’s latest fever dream. They have rights under our Constitution – rights that cannot be stripped away at the whim of an authoritarian president.

And on it goes, day after day — the Trump regime’s abject cruelty, viciousness, heartlessness, brutality. How does a moral person live with this? How do we not become complicit? The answer, I think, is to do whatever we can to protect those who are vulnerable to this cruelty.

When Bukele visits Trump this Monday, he could simply bring Garcia and the others with him. But don’t hold your breath; he and Trump are both gleeful about their ability to incarcerate and torture a legal US resident without any due process in complete violation of the Constitution and int'l law.

As a television reality star, Donald Trump may have been a joke. As the President of the United States, he is a real and present danger. He will bully the court, he will bully the American electoral system, he will not hesitate to defy the Constitution and remain in power past January of 2029.

Now we know why the BLM mural in DC had to be painted over at the demand of the White House and under the threat of congressional defunding. Can’t have the visual of the murdered Blacks memorial driven over by Tesla tanks and military marching bands during his birthday military parade.

If Harras had won and systematically got rid of every single male in top positions at the DOD, people would be screaming their lungs out. But because the Cheeto convicted felon is purging all females in top positions, you don't even hear a peep. WTF www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

We have elected good presidents and great ones, mediocrities and failures. But none was as nakedly corrupt as the current occupant of the White House, or as overtly contemptuous of democracy. The vote should not have been close, but we sent him back to Washington anyway. We chose Barabbas.

As of 2024, there were more than 10 million Christian immigrants present in the United States who are vulnerable to deportation. So I thought Republicans were supposed to be Christians who at least cared about other Christians. Guess I was wrong.

Today the DOW tumbled more than 1,600 points or 4%, S&P 500 sank 4.8% and the Nasdaq 6% after his tariff announcement for its worst day since the pandemic crashed the economy in 2020. Leave it to the idiot cheeto convict to take a booming economy and destroy it within his first 100 days in office.

We are a nation that is great, not because of those trying to whitewash our history to remove great people, natives, blacks & women from our military websites. I don’t want a Disneyfication of our history... Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness. Sen. Booker

Long before he became a reality TV host, Trump was a real estate developer who expanded into hotels, casinos, and even the airline industry. Along the way, he cheated contractors, shortchanged investors, and, through strategic bankruptcies, left financiers with pennies on the dollar.

Not surprised that racist Strom Thurmond secretly fathered a daughter with a 16 year old Black girl who worked as a maid in his family's home when he was 22. Mahalo U.S. Senator Cory Booker for beating that evil bigot's record!

True Karma. A black Senator from Jersey set a new filibuster record against Strom Thurmond's filibuster in defense of segregation. Well done Sen. Cory Booker!

When they’re not ripping apart the federal government, driving out the workforce and breaking unions, or abducting people right off streets … they are rapidly deleting the recorded memory of any Black, female, indigenous, gay or otherwise non white, male, straight American from official records.

The Smithsonian will now prohibit any exhibits or programs that celebrate the achievements of women in the American Women’s History Museum & do not recognize men as women in any respect in the Museum. Our poor orange convicted felon is so fragile that he can't take celebrating any woman over a man.
