The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:” “It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” Nailed it! 🔥

With close to zero substantive action out of this White House and Congress or the last ones, this from @JimVandeHei & @mikeallen: “AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs—and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next one to five years” www.axios.com/2025/05/28/a...

It’s true, Media. Biden is old. But,Trump is an old felon, grifter, racist, traitor, lunatic, rapist, and embarrassingly stupid. QUIT ignoring the elephant in the room. Do your job.

Here's the truth about tax cuts for the rich. They explode the federal debt, fuel giant profits at the biggest firms and financial institutions, and stoke a surge in billionaire wealth, but do nothing for average working people. Nothing trickles down.

If we want healthier communities, we have to ensure every Wisconsinite—including folks in our rural communities—have clean, safe water to drink. President Trump and Elon Musk are putting the health and safety of our rural communities at risk. www.wausaudailyherald.com/story/news/l...

This is chilling!!! Trump gave the Pentagon control of 170 square miles of U.S. land—now a militarized zone called the “New Mexico National Defense Area.” This move walks the line of Posse Comitatus and edges toward the Insurrection Act—to go after migrants. But it doesn’t have to stop there.

Trump’s administration appears to be killing much, if not all, of a historic initiative that was the first, and is still the largest, National Institutes of Health (NIH) effort centered on the health needs of women.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening: “Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.” She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

As more people exercise 1st Amendment rights to free speech and protesting, it’s important Protestors Know Your Rights. Where you protest, outside in public vs inside a government meeting, and how (peacefully) can affect whether you are safe or at risk #Voices4Victory www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
