G’morning from the trail. “Praise with elation, praise every morning. God’s recreation of the new day.” #TheBlackAndWhiteWednesday

Judge Hannah Dugan, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, Rep. LaMonica McIver, Sen. Alex Padilla, and now NYC Comptroller Brad Lander. The feds keep detaining and prosecuting elected officials who get in Trump's way.

Thou shalt not start World War 3! ESPECIALLY when you ran on preventing World War 3.

Finally a phone that drops calls and our democracy.

G’morning from the trail. Grandson (8yo) is done with school for the year. We’re together this morning.

America Is at a Terrifying Turning Point — and There’s No Going Back Why the events of this past weekend should worry everyone who wants a peaceful democracy.

I’m not sure who told Trump that people wanted him to take office and control everything we do…. He doesn’t like to be told what to do by anyone but he wants to force his demented beliefs and rules on all of us!!!!! Trying to force us to get married! He can’t stay married without cheating

Nothing on CNN's main page about yesterday's #NoKings marches, but there were 3 articles about the stupid military parade no one attended. Fuck legacy media...

What a great picture, right DonOLD? Love it for sure. BTW, do you think that your fans in the stands were lonely? I think they were....hardly anyone there! Wow. You sure do have very few friends.

Imagine being such a MAGA asshole that you lose Joe Rogan. Dog killers, drunks, and addicts are in charge. www.nj.com/politics/202...

No lies told.

What the fk is this shit??? Refusing to treat unmarried people and Democrats??? Trying to force people to get married for medical care? Trying to force people to be Republicans!!! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

G’morning from the trail. “Praise with elation, praise every morning. God’s recreation of the new day.”

It’s Sunday morning. Please remember that you really don’t have to worship where you’re not welcome.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

I miss my folks. None of my elder relatives are around anymore either. On the other hand I’m glad they aren’t here to see what’s happening. They survived concentration camps, and years of war to beat this evil before. Fuck.

I will post this everyday to remind us. She was always right!

RFK, Jr. is filling the CDC with quacks and charlatans. Most of them were too cowardly to comment for this article but they are well known promoters of anti-vax bullshit and have profited from spreading their crap. Kennedy will get people killed. Full stop. Including children. wapo.st/3SROTKy

MAJOR BREAKING: Governor Walz has announced that Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead after a "politically motivated assassination.” Trump owns this political climate. 100%.

Tomorrow is Sunday. Make plans today and please remember that you really don’t have to worship where you’re not welcome.

G’morning from the trail. You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle. - Paulo Coelho

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military: “We don't take an oath to a King. We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator” “We take an oath to the Constitution." #FreedomToDissent

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Trump deploying Marines to L.A. This is the “ litmus test” to see what he can get AWAY with. This is absolutely ILLEGAL, my friends. Do your thang!!

🤬😡🤬 💙✊💙✌️💙🦋

In Florida in Tampa and the Villages Protesters gathered in solidarity with protesters in Los Angeles opposing ICE raids and deportations under the Trump administration.

Everyone should share this picture daily!!!

G’morning, though too rainy to be walking on the trail, but outside the apartment during a lull. You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle. - Paulo Coelho

See the difference? 👀

"Veterans know the layoffs aren’t about saving money. They’re about weakening the institution and ultimately privatizing and gutting VA disability funding, as spelled out in Project 2025." share.google/pz6mLWSzZIYC...
