“You are meant to feel powerless. That is what a strongman wants: to make you feel as if nothing can stop the takeover of your country.” But we are not helpless — unless we act that way, as too many of us are sadly doing. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/21/o...

Trump has a superhero level of pure stupidity. Does he not understand that that’s exactly how the country he leads was created?

One of the best journalists I know is with #VoiceOfAmerica's #Russia service Now she and her colleagues are suddenly out of work and the US loses the "soft power" of their broadcasting expertise Just because a Man-Baby and his Chainsaw buddy are feeding their egos #Ukraine

I've never been more embarrassed for my country. This is shameful - the leader of the free world reduced to reading ad copy so his buddy's stock goes up. The Shining City on the Hill is nothing more than a bunch of Temu ads.

Kudos to Gov. Janet Mills of Maine for standing up to Trump. He threatened loss of federal funds for her state simply because it allows trans girls to play in sports. She said, “See you in court.” Trump is a weak, shallow, callous leader who wants desperately to be a despot. #BullyPolPot

When Janet Mills, awesome Gov. of Maine stood up to Trump bullying- “I’ll see you in court”. I felt so heartened. She reminds us all - particularly our cowering GOP lawmakers, that we can & must refuse to follow unlawful, unconstitutional or immoral orders. Call the ACLU. See him in court. 🇺🇸

We can help shift the tide! Wisconsin must have fair electoral maps going forward. Answer Musk’s money with a blizzard of small donations. Give Musk the finger and support Judge Susan Crawford for the open WI Supreme Court seat. Our democracy depends on it. secure.actblue.com/donate/hrccr...

Elon Musk fancies himself some kind of maverick technologist superhero. But he’s no Tony Stark. He’s PHONY Stark. He’s the one the Avengers defeat at the end of the movie.

Its a billionaires club.They don’t want better public schools or knowledgeable citizens. They want ignorant workers who won’t question. If you don’t know your rights you wont see them vanishing. If u don’t know facts you wont question the lies. They dont care abt us. To them we are replaceable.

One teaspoon of the neonicotinoids pesticide could kill 1.25 billion bees. And yet the Government could be about to let it back on English fields. Sign the petition: tell Ministers to keep this ban on bee-killing pesticides in place. act.38degrees.org.uk/act/save-our...
