We need to support and celebrate each other in the blue states for every action we take to rise above the current state of affairs. Unless we unify, march, make the protests larger, and boycott the elites' businesses to show the power we have, we cannot achieve our goals.

Protest together as we have from then until today. Boycotting the elites' businesses is the power we have.

A coup d'état was not even considered legally treasonous by the founders. They knew in their hearts they needed to protect their own in government. 1/6 was a shameful day that must remain deeply engraved as one of the harmful and criminal acts the U.S. has committed against so many.
And Trump watched the whole thing happen AND later pardoned these people.......🤔🤔🤔

Rudy Guliani is disputing rumors that he caused his serious car accident and says two witnesses Jack Daniels and Jim Beam have come forward and vouched for him
HAHAHAHA. I am sure. Even possibly they were riding with him.
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
This message needs to spread at least throughout all the blue states. If the red states continue to stand by Trump, as they always have, then we—the blue states—will have to step up and rescue them.

This isn’t a call for tomorrow. It’s here. It’s now. They want us quiet, bent, obedient. So let it take what it takes. We’re not backing down.

Thank you!!!!!!!

Trump’s consolidation of power & his administration has deployed a methodical, well-planned authoritarian playbook to eliminate checks & balances, purging loyalists into key government positions, & weaponizing law enforcement & the military domestically to silence dissent & fortify control.

Mass shootings stem from a nation built on violence. The U.S. was founded on the genocide of its Indigenous population, land appropriation. Its history includes the enslavement of African Americans, forced religious assimilation, discriminatory laws, and numerous acts of oppression.

A common analyses by political scientists & pundits: MAGA is a limb of conservatism, marked by varying levels of political knowledge & critical thinking, & a degree of ideological simplification & ignorance. Mass marches & boycott elites' bus. are key tools for pushing social & political change.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it

Conservatism in America has been, and largely remains, linked to white supremacy and racial hierarchy—even if not all conservatives openly espouse those views, and some actively reject them. This is well-documented in history and political science.

Coincidentally:
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
The gun violence requires reps who truly represent the people. Electing candidates backed by the wealthy elite solves nothing because they campaign on hollow words & empty promises. Without a fundamental shift in the influence of money & accountability, change on gun violence will not happen.
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats

If you aren’t completely loyal to the regime or dare to voice dissent, you risk being removed. Time and again, anyone who stands up is pushed out. Most recently, the Environmental Protection Agency dismissed eight employees after they

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
WOW, must see TV!

Food Basics located directly next door to Lyon Station is open. What a great opportunity to serve the downtown community and offer commuters a quick option for groceries on their rides home. It definitely gets the stamp of approval from Rail Fans!

Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…
Great to meet you, JP! Always a pleasure to meet a teacher here in Illinois. Good luck during the school year!
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
That lack of representation is part of the process of dictatorship.
These are kitchen table conversations meant to prevent discrimination from continuing.

Imagine being this hateful. Florida should spend more money on its education system and less on trying to marginalize those who are marginalized.
The planet is very important; we live on it, too.
Protestors came to challenge a new provincial land-use decision that they say threatens to irreversibly harm the summer home of one of Wasaga’s regular visitors: piping plovers, the tiny, lively, endangered bird that has visited this beach every summer since 2007. thenarwhal.ca/wasaga-beach...
Remove RFK Jr for dereliction of duties. Immediately.
Sure, let's do this. Today would be good!

At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.
Trump is cutting more than 500 jobs at Voice of America and its parent agency despite legal challenges
It is call a dictatorship by the elite.
How can they deny the truth and the great betrayal against themselves and the people they represent? How can they pledge allegiance to the wrong? But it is even more painful and betraying when the people who are hurt do not speak up or support resistance.
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Maybe, but what I see is that we can only elect politicians who have been filtered by the establishment and who will cave in once in government to the pressure of the elite.
Sure. Yet, the people who are actually affected by policies should be the ones creating them, rather than leaving it to elites, politicians, or corporate interests.
Define independent.

True. I did not disagree with you. Moderates in politics often act like that “fair-weather” sibling, co-worker, or friend: they show support only when it’s convenient or profitable, and disappear or switch sides when it’s not.
You are not asking me, but moderates in politics are dead weight — opportunists who swing to whatever is most profitable and convenient for them. Better yet, we need a new system in which everyone has what they need: a job, education, a home, vacations, and so on — and a planet to live on.
A true progressive, ideally, aims for equality of opportunity, access, & rights for everyone, not just lip service. That includes economic justice, social equity, healthcare, education, & political voice. The focus is systemic fairness rather than just advancing one group at the expense of another.

Right, I have a bridge for sell.
Or maybe it’s the wealthy oligarchs who want the masses kept stupid, uneducated, and unable to defend themselves legally—making them easy targets.
