I was a retired activist for the Constitution, the separation of church and state, civil rights, and freedom of speech. Now, however, I (in shock) have been forced out of retirement to do whatever I can to save what is left of our democracy.

You can and should try to scrub your personal address info from data broker websites. Just don't hire a scamy company to do it. It's most effective when you do it yourself.

To all my friends! We never get anywhere without the help of every person we have in our lives! No one does anything alone! Thank you all so very much!

Pope Leo XIV seems like a bright but very "regular" type of guy. Be neat to have a drink with him someday.

'Democrats are sick': Trump drops sweeping immigration effort in big cities www.rawstory.com/democrats-ar...

tRump just ordered ICE to raid cities that had the largest turn outs at No Kings Protests. What a thin-skinned, vile POS!

Thank you Portland, Oregon!

Absolutely! 💯

It’s true!

You know things are bad when a Walton of Walmart puts a big ad like this in The New York Times.

When nobody shows up to your birthday party

The Roswell, New Mexico, protest was a great success! As this area is a Republican stronghold, Sheriff's Officers were there to PROTECT US! This is the back of my "Resistance T-shirt" -

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

Trump’s $45 million birthday parade with its tanks and helicopters is an authoritarian ego trip. But the real show of force this weekend won't take place in D.C., it’ll happen in the streets as protesters gather nationwide to declare "No Kings in America!"

I promised to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States! If you are a member of the US Military and are being ordered to violate The Constitution, call for help: substack.com/@lindarey/no...

Good morning rebels...

Happy pride month ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

BREAKING: 19 State Attorneys General and D.C. Sue Trump and RFK Jr. for ‘Unconstitutional Dismantling’ of U.S. Health Department.

Stunning record. A great performance by the Judiciary in defending our Country and the Constitution.

We would expect nothing less when dealing with the five-year-old in the White House. When do you think Trump will mature and attempt to negotiate in person, like an adult? OK, you are correct; maybe never. Or when will he AND HIS STAFF begin to work on things that HELP Citizens? Yup, same answer.

Yup. Wouldn't it be stunning to have a real TWO-PARTY SYSTEM where there were adults on both sides, people in Congress listened to one another, and the POTUS acted like an adult. Just like fifty years ago.

Nine Russian heavy bombers destroyed or damaged, one medium bomber destroyed. Slava Ukraine.

Overheard: Apparently Zelenskyy had some cards, and he didn’t need a suit.

Yes. #RadioFreeAmerica

Wow, here is some GREAT progress with over 130 Federal and State Judges filing a brief in support of Judge Dugan from Wisconsin. Just Outstanding!! Given the chaos coming from this Administration, this type of support from both Judges and lawyers is overwhelming....and necessary to give balance.
