Why don’t Trump/Vance/Musk talk about incidents like this, I wonder.

It’s Amazing What White Evangelicals Are Willing To Ignore….

This Is What The Agreement States And We Should Honor It!

Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home! I just read that Trump deported a teen with no criminal record to the same prison. This madness needs to stop, this is NOT who we are!

'Things like this take place’: Trump shrugs off mass shooting despite once being a target https://twp.ai/4ilhGx

I am heartbroken that the America I’ve lived in for 63 years is gone.💔

Feel "FREE" to Re-post.

Can the president fire the fed chair? No. The fact that this might happen anyway, despite it being inconsistent with legal precedent, is how you know that the rule of law is weakened to the point of being unable to hold up Democratic institutions. The uncertainty of the act occurring is damaging.

Lisa Murkowski: “We are all afraid.” “Retaliation is real”. Oh, really? GOP senators helped create this monster and now they’re too chickenshit to stop him.

😬

The FDA is suspending food safety quality checks after Trump & his illegal DOGE cronies fired 20,000 people So now on top of it now being legal to dump poop in the water, your food might be poison Call me crazy but I think making sure food doesn't kill ppl is good www.yahoo.com/news/us-fda-...

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

I posted this shirt yesterday and the same response came from all the gun owners: "I need a gun to protect me from the people who don't believe in god". Yes, because that is exactly how god would want you to deal with them. Who's your god? Ted Nugent?

My son is on the spectrum. He lives a full life. He plays basketball for Special Olympics & is on the their swim team. He is involved in our community & gives his time helping others. There is absolutely nothing I would change about him. My son's positive contribution to this world far exceeds RFKs.

When Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for the Florida State shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

The party’s on this weekend! 🎉🎊

We must expect and demand that the executive branch follow the law. We must expect and demand that the executive branch comply with court orders. To expect and demand anything less is a form of obeying in advance. Defeatism is a form of surrender.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is my Rep (due to heavy gerrymandering) and I am still appalled that she went full Gestapo on her own constituents at her Cobb Co., GA town hall. I'm 63 years old and I am devastated that the country I grew up in, is gone. 💔 #ProudBlue #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

www.yahoo.com/news/warren-... I wonder if any GOP members of congress will grow a spine and take a stand against the actions of this administration, ( I have a hard time calling him our president).

“I'm oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real.” If you’re anxious about using your voice, then you’re probably in the wrong party, Lisa. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski and others need to grow a spine and stand up for right from wrong.

The US government is the single largest employer of veterans, people who've served their country at their own peril. Some of these people are among those cast aside in the reductions in force layoffs. An important but gut-wrenching read. www.statnews.com/2025/04/17/f...

We said, “Never again!” The question is…did we really mean it, or were we just puffing up our chests to sound like people we wanted to believe we were, but knew deep inside…we…were not? The test that will reveal the answer is before us.

Who agrees with AOC....

The Department of Homeland Security sent a letter to Dr. Lisa Anderson, who was born in Connecticut, which stated: “It is time for you to leave the United States." Anderson has been carrying her U.S. passport on her at all times since receiving the email and is seeking an immigration attorney.

Unemployment up. Stock market down. Mortgage rates up. Consumer confidence at worst levels since the Great Depression. Are we great again yet?

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.
