Flabbergasted by US politics and the rise of Trumpism. Baffled by the Evangelical support of the most flawed human being on earth. Rattled by the rise of fascism.

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

Way to go, Sheryl!!

This is what Town Hall’s should look like all over the country right now.. Apply continuous, aggressive pressure and make it clear we will not comply, we will not sit by, and if our representatives don’t act, we’ll find people that will and they can hit the bricks! www.youtube.com/live/-CLe_uX...

This is scary too!!

Whoever tries to tell you that Trump is Christian needs to look up this passage in the Bible: — The most horrifying news story of the day: Ukraine can’t fight the war against Russia without the Starlink Internet system to guide their weaponry and for communication. Yesterday, it was reported that…

You've got that reversed, donnie. YOU are America's enemy.

New polling from Leger suggests only 30% of Canadians view the US as an ally, with a near-similar share viewing our neighbours to the south as an enemy nation I break it down here 👇 open.substack.com/pub/canadian...

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

A reminder. This Thursday at the Comedy Chateau in LA with TomArnold and Hal Sparks. How do politics affect Free Speech and Comedy. Or "WTF?" All proceeds go to LA Fire Relief.

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

Surprise! Terminating thousands of jobs leads to increased jobless claims. Investors are afraid of diminished consumer spending. 😱😱

This 👇🏻 Wake the-F up!!!

Worst. Episode. EVER.

The CIA did something good. Later, as well as smuggling books, the CIA would fund and ship presses and printing equipment into Poland, so that the banned titles could be reproduced in huge quantities by underground printers in situ.

Do the dumbest trumplings finally get it???

Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally. Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/22/l...

Giving up and checking out is what they want. Do not give them what they want. 19thnews.org/2025/02/tran...

Tom Homan is publicly threatening the City of Boston. He says he will rain hellfire on it. It sure worked out well the *last* time an authoritarian government threatened Boston.

More & more headlines like this emerging here in Germany. “Without America?” The tie between the USA & Europe is loosening & it could scarcely be nicer for Putin. What does it mean for Germany & its neighbours?”

‘No sir, you are not’: Maine newspaper issues Trump civics lesson as he threatens state: An editorial in a Maine newspaper took direct aim at Donald Trump Saturday after the president issued a direct threat to the state. The Bangor Daily News’ editorial board issued its scathing putdown after…

This deranged post must be read in concert with new Daily Beast and Yahoo News reports that Trump is a Kremlin agent ("Krasnov") and Hegseth speeding up a political purge of the military. What you are seeing here is fear from Trump and Musk; they need to get to martial law fast.

You definitely know someone, very likely a family member that DEPENDS on Medicaid for some facet of their healthcare. Everyone should have access to treatments to extend and improve their lives. #DontCutMyMedicaid resist.bot/petitions/PK...

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

Alina Habba, who is ostensibly a lawyer, claims on Fox & Friends that Trump "made the law" with his executive orders (executive orders are not laws -- only Congress can make laws)

DOGE looks like a ruse to cover up their actual goals (whatever those are).

I get misty …

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

For those at the back…

Nailed it.

Dallas, Texas police refuse to help ICE raids! There’s just too many moving parts to this country to take it over in one fell swoop. Democracy is holding despite tremendous pressure. Don’t give up!
