Trump isn’t just axing the Constitution. He’s axing something we all love. Watch. https://youtu.be/HS7IJaB5NDc?feature=shared

Thousands of Hurricane Helene victims are being evicted — less than a year after being displaced… And now, as FEMA crumbles, imagine what *future* victims of ecological disasters will have to endure
When SCOTUS gave Trump immunity, it was all over‼️
I’m so sorry you had to suffer the loss of your sister and nephew. 🙏🏻

Another betrayal in a long list.
Hey! Just icymi: FEMA is now evicting THOUSANDS of Hurricane Helene survivors Our government hates us. And millions voted for this degree of brutality and cruelty. Why?

This is something communist countries do. Everything belongs to the state.
If you thought America was a country of stable and reliable property rights, Trump's team has decided to alter the deal. Pray they do not alter it any further.
Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?

Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

It would be absurdly ridiculous if it wasn’t so dangerous.
This will directly harm Floridians when a disaster strikes and the FEMA money has been squandered by desantis.

Hire a Black woman. We tend to be very good at what we do because we simply are not allowed to be bad at it.
What a horrific experience for you. I’m so sorry you were abused.
I can't tell you how many times I ran into this when doing the one brief stint I had in the felony line in a prosecutor's office. Both by leo's and lawyers.
I cannot believe that guests on MSNBC actually used the phrase “child prostitute” which is a phrase that SHOULD NEVER BE USED. It suggests that children have agency and are making an adult decision and they are NOT and CANNOT, they are purely the victims of adults! Disgusting
If we don’t stand up for these victims, who will ?
Awesome 😋

As a proud member of The National Association of Letters Carriers I’d like to thank them for providing this wonderful retirement that I am enjoying! This 3 day weekend was brought to you by the blood, sweat, tears and suffering of Union brothers and sisters who came before us! Happy Labor Day!
I’m surprised she can speak at all with so much filler on her lips.
Trump did this
The US Administration has decided to destroy a top network for clinical trials to test new treatments for children with brain cancer. This is another atrocity that will harm Conservative and Liberal Americans, long after the politicians responsible are gone.
Judge Blocks Flights Sending Hundreds of Children Back To Guatemala “It is a dark & dangerous moment for this country when (Trump) chooses to target orphaned 10-year-olds and deny them their basic legal right to present their case before a judge” www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
The DOJ is telling the court that all unaccompanied children Trump is sending to Guatemala have parents or guardians in that country who have requested their children be returned to them. The plaintiffs are saying that's not at all true. You can read the back and forth here:
NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.
Sooknanan explains the circumstances of how/when she got the case. First got a call around 2 am last night, entered TRO and set hearing. Moved up hearing after receiving call from plaintiffs to notify her that children were in process of being removed. Then entered new TRO for putative class.
Judge Sooknanan continues her monologue: And so, absent action and intervention by the court, all of those children would have been returned to Guatemala, potentially to extremely dangerous situations.
Judge Sooknanan isn't buying it... The plaintiffs are telling me, she says, that the children do not want to go back to Guatemala, that no request has been made, and that they fear returning to Guatemala, and may be subject to harm
This vile administration tried to deport children, in the middle of the night, to Guatemala. CHILDREN!
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

❗️The plane Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu was on was forced to land in Bulgaria due to suspected Russian GPS interference -FT There are reports that the pilots even had to use paper maps due to GPS jamming as they made the emergency landing.

They want to normalize their sadistic cruelty to make us fear they can and will do the same to anyone who is against them.
www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6GvjPcr/ How in the HELL does any government lawfully deport 600 unaccompanied minors? Who does that? Who the fuck are we? What are we? What have we become?

Steven Colbert and his wife appeared in the crowd at the Alcaraz match, and the arena went wild when his face hit the screen. People clearly adore him—and honestly, seeing that joy gave me a surge of hope.
Beautiful

California stepping up.
POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”

This text is quoted accurately. It is also a clarifying lie. Totalitarian governments know that normal people do not have time or resources to research every health, economic, or security issue. Their project of attacking all expertise is a project of seizing trust & thus power for themselves.
DOL is trying to take away minimum wage and overtime from millions of workers. Just thought I’d mention that.
Nope.

Yup.
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
Something is definitely going on and they’re trying to figure out what lie to tell us. 😡
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
They don’t know the meaning of the word and have contempt for those who are compassionate.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

This is the way
