Liberal, independent, childless cat lady. I will ALWAYS stand up for the Constitution of the USA. ALWAYS. Yes, I'm part of the resistance to hate & divisiveness (aka: ANTIFA!) We fought & WON wars about that crap! Science is real.🫶 She/her.

i was told that trump’s modest improvement with black and hispanic men meant that racism had nothing to do with MAGA. oh well.
If he thinks a few transgender people out of several thousand murderers is "a common denominator," wait until he hears how many of them were using automatic weapons.
Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
If you just watched the news and had no knowledge of US history, you'd assume that Congress was an elected group of TV pundits who had no actual power or governing responsibility.
The clearing of the rubble in a Kyiv high-rise house bombed by russia — which claimed 25 lives — has just ended, and already a new swarm of russian drones fills our skies, with Tu jets preparing for takeoff and the launch of cruise missiles. This is a never-ending 9/11.

Everyone at the CDC is getting fired or resigning. RFK Jr. wants to ban all vaccines. His idiocy will get millions of people killed.
Good.
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
I’m totally stealing this argument for my wrongful termination case against the first Trump administration. This is so well said.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
The sitting President of the United States raped children and he’s in no danger of being held accountable for it.
Just noticed this on the checkout notification I get from the Chicago Public Library. I think it’s new and I love it!
They’re traumatizing kids.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?

Epstein/Trump files. You have to spoon feed information to the maga crowd...
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
I am a Veteran. I am proud of my service. I am enraged by the audacity of Cheeto Jesus and his drunken, incompetent SecDef ordering military honors for a traitorous bitch who dishonored herself.

Did you increase your spending last month? No? Me neither. That isn't anecdotal. The underlying numbers don't support this. The source here is the commerce department. I no longer trust the numbers coming out of this regime. I call bullshit! www.cnbc.com/2025/08/28/u...
We live in a country where it is harder to get access to a vaccine than an assault rifle.
There comes a point when we can no longer “fight from within”. A point when the best way to protect the American people is to leave CDC. Deb, Dan, and Demetre reached that point. We are so proud of them for resigning. Loudly. As a warning. This is not surrender. This is fighting back.
A Texas Republican lawmaker who last week blocked Democrats’ effort to filibuster the state’s gerrymander made disturbing comments at a 2022 legislative hearing — suggesting a way to deal with immigrants might be: “shoot, shovel and shut up.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Ashli Babbitt was an enemy of multiracial democracy. She stood on the same moral footing as the “redeemers” who sabotaged Reconstruction. And she is being celebrated by this administration for precisely that reason. That is where we are.
Russia has fully switched to a war time economy, long ago. If Putin stops invading, the Russian economy would completely collapse overnight. Remember that the next time there are peace talks.
It just keeps getting better.

CDC leaders on why the left: “I resigned because I could not be part of the weaponization of public health and CDC… we should always be questioning - but you shouldn’t have a preconceived idea before you have the data.”

We have a path to win the House AND the Senate in 2026. Fight. Organize. A better country is possible.
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.

Your regular reminder: if you want to tell Ukrainians "not all russians are bad" - you immediately can go and fuck yourself, and you can use your "good russian" TM as a tool for that. #UkrainianView

Excellent question.
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets

A guy I went to grade school with is mad that a judge shut down the Florida concentration camp. He says, "we have a president to make these decisions. They should just ignore the judge..." I reminded him of something we learned in school: America doesn't have a king. People have lost common sense.
Maybe Red state governors are sending their national guard to DC because they’d be safer there picking up trash than patrolling their own murder capitals.
Canceling clean energy programs means fewer projects, higher costs, and more burden on working families. That’s the wrong direction. Clean energy creates jobs, lowers bills, and builds the infrastructure we need.
I’ll be real with you: not even a Cybertruck owner deserves this
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
He’s trying to get her killed…
If this oleaginous haircut thinks local crime rates merit a federal military intervention, then he should be leading the armored column down to his home state of Louisiana, which is one of the worst in the nation.
Killing clean energy projects means killing jobs and raising bills. 64,000 jobs already lost or at risk. 400,000 more on the line. The future is clean energy—and that’s where we must invest.
NEW: A federal judge ordered an Arkansas school district to take down Ten Commandments displays in its classrooms following our lawsuit.
It never happens with GOP, but too damn often in our party folks try to build themselves up by tearing Dems down. You can demand better from us without pissing all over the house we’ve built together. I’m sick of it. If you make a name for yourself by trashing the party, I’m calling you out.

Can't believe that in 2025 we have to be telling people that vaccines are safe and slavery was bad.
My last doctor's visit was $300 and it wiped out everything I was saving up. I'm going to physical therapy again today, and then I also have my glaucoma test, so at minimum that's $160 + $150, I think? Unless the glaucoma test has gone up in price. It's VERY expensive being disabled in the USA
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
still true!
Whoever has been writing headlines at @the-independent.com recently is doing a great job

"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
Health insurance is insanely expensive. Not that anything will improve on this front for another four years, or ever. Life just isn't going to be good. The point of life is to yield maximum profit for corporations (working for one to pay rent to others) instead of ever getting to do what you want.
👀 Zelensky: The buffer zone already exists, if Russia wants to have a greater distance from us, let them retreat deep into the occupied territories. 📍Kharkiv and Donetsk regions. We are conducting active operations in two regions and it is not easy for the enemy there today.

Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.

The reality is simple our rights are not bargaining chips. Liberty is not something you trade away for “temporary safety”, because when you do, you lose both.
Yet MAGA propaganda insists Trump is “protecting” you, while branding dissenters as supporting criminals. That’s a fake choice built on fear, not fact.
Americans do not want to live under a military state, that was never the American dream. Our country was founded on the promise of liberty, not soldiers patrolling our streets. The Constitution is clear: the military does not police civilians.
The truth is, temporary safety measures imposed by force rarely stay temporary. History shows that once freedom is surrendered, it is almost never freely given back. And just like Franklin, we’re here to say no.
reshaped by executive whim, and broad powers are justified under the vague banner of “ensuring public order.” Just like in Franklin’s time, the deal on offer is a scam: we hand over essential liberties, and what we get back isn’t real safety it’s control, submission, and fear.
Fast forward nearly 270 years, and here we are in Washington, D.C., watching this lesson repeat itself. Once again, people in power are demanding we give up freedoms in exchange for the illusion of “safety.” Federal troops and militarized police flood the streets, agencies are
during the French and Indian War unless their estates were exempt. Franklin and the Assembly pushed back, warning that surrendering the people’s rights of self-governance for a promise of temporary protection was a dangerous trade-off.
He wasn’t being poetic he was speaking for the Pennsylvania Assembly during a bitter fight with the colonial governor. The Penn family, who owned the colony, refused to pay taxes for defense
We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
Beautiful time passages
New in PN: Trump's flag burning executive order flames out "This is a blatant attempt to transform protected speech into criminal conduct, despite decades of SCOTUS precedent barring just that. And it was immediately challenged by a veteran who set fire to an American flag just across from the WH."
Paint it again! We will never stop. They cannot make us stop. They can try and silence us but if they think they’ll live through that eventuality then they’ll sorely mistaken.
Remember: it’s never just a job or a paycheck if it’s helping erase the existence of human beings. No paycheck is worth that much.
Imagine skipping medical school, but thinking you know more than scientists — while wheezing like a busted leaf blower. 🙃
