Thanks for posting! It surprising to me that so many people don't understand that calling yourself a Christian doesn't give you a pass for all the other nasty comments you make! Also condemning Israel for attacks on Gaza doesn't make you antisemitic.
The "common good" is a set of shared values about what we owe one another as citizens who are bound together in the same society. A concern for the common good—keeping the common good in mind—is a moral attitude. It recognizes that we’re all in it together.
seems like a good time to remind some folks…..
language has consequences.
Unfortunately, Trump never learns from his mistakes because his words always paint others as being mean and nasty when in fact that's what he is!
we great yet???
Thanks for posting! You are so right. Republicans would have loved to have a scape goat to blame. Why would a Republican kill another Republican? Maybe the other wasn't conservative enough.
"I wish we could blame this on muslims or migrants, but turns out it was one of us." what a wild thing to say
The Chaos President has no interest in unifying the country. He will continue to be a disrupter until the country experiences a civil war.
Please send each Republican Congressman and Senator some of these. Maybe it would help!
I decided to order myself a treat! 🤣💯🤣💯🤣
Scary times we are living in!
Excellent job!
It has been clear for *years* now that the GOP is a fascist political party engaged in an eliminationist crusade against any & all who oppose them. They have, for years, taken over systems & overturned established laws & norms. This is simply the culmination of that ideological project.
Federal overreach to the max! All the Republicans who support such actions should be thrown out of Congress. This is tantamount to the behavior of some southern Congressman and Senators before the Civil War. Had Lincoln not been assassinated, they would have faced punishment.

FFS! Acetaminophen, imo, sucks. Though, I was thankful for it during pregnancy. The headaches, aches, pains, etc. It at least offered some relief, not much, but some. As a parent of a disabled child w/ multiple dx including autism, I’m not blaming Tylenol. RFK Jr is an idiot. Listen to your dr.
On 9/8, phonebank to make VA bluer and call voters to help elect @abigailspanberger.com and @jess4va.com. Jessica is running to flip this seat. She was a Medicaid recepient and understands what the trump cuts would mean for Virginians. Training provided. Sign up here. www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...
Congress did not extend the enhanced ACA premium tax credits which greatly reduces costs of ACA insurance for thousands in the state through H.R.1, but still has time to change their minds. Please urge Congress to do so today: www.votervoice.net/SCJustice/Ca... #scpol #aca #uspol
Happening now in Washington DC. Free DC March has gathered thousands of people! Let’s go!
I agree with the governor's comment that with ICE storming the city followed by the National Guard, Trump only wants to provoke a confrontation, so he can justify his show of force! This sounds like something Putin would do!
Yoda says, the witch of the forest, follow I will!
Good Point! Let’s do it. 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾
That's an excellent idea! It would build consensus and remove the idea that the court could be packed with partisan politicians as the House and Senate is unfortunately.
They should not be above the law. The President should not be above the law either, however, Trump's Supreme Court has granted him special powers that no other President has had. How are they supreme when they have no backbone. Jellyfish Court would be a better name!
I look forward to ICE agents getting arrested when they break the law there....
youtube.com/watch?v=kTIG... Occupy Democrats
The governors race in Virginia, Republicans blame Democrats for being soft on crime, releasing criminals early, promoting sanctuary cities and following the Biden and Pelosi agenda! Liars, cheats, and felons, oh my! It's always the Democrat's fault.
crooksandliars.com/2025/09/pete... 😄😁😆🤣🤣😂 The Pathetic Convicted Felon and Rapist and his Administration is blaming everyone else for their Disasters
According to the Republican candidate for governor in Virginia, they need to be removed at all costs. Anyone that opposes their removal are law breakers. She immigrated to the US after her father moved here from Jamaica with 35 cents in his pocket. Under Trump, ICE would be looking to remove her.
It's very important you hate migrants. Because if you don't you might hate the people who own everything, fix all the prices, and set your wages. And that would be bad.
The Good Ole Days when America had a REAL Leader! @barackobama.bsky.social #obama
The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading. It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.
Sound On! Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez are the dream team we did not expect but we deserve. They have brought so much joy to this tournament. #USOpen 🎾
It's funny, Mike Johnson the Speaker of the House pointed that out this morning on GMA. Guns are the problem. In order to drive you need a license. There are few restrictions on guns. If the gun lobby had their way there would be no restrictions. Guns should be licensed and restricted.
Thanks for posting! This is so true. So many people don't realize that and it needs to be pointed out to them every day!
I signed documents every quarter agreeing not to do what this felon has done. I would be in jail, he is not. Justice in America favours the rich and the privileged.
Happy National Dog Day!
Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"
The media has contributed to the takeover of our country. They need to step up to the plate and disobey their greedy oligarch bosses and report the truth to Americans. They deserve to know. They need to pick a side and know that history will be recording their choices.
I must have woken up in North Korea. Let's all praise the Supreme leader and stroke his ego. You are so wonderful! You are a transformational leader! Trump is like a God to these people. He should be behind bars!
I'm sure many of his supporters would like a dictator. We don't have dictators in the US. Perhaps try N. Korea or Russia. Dictators don't solve our problems, they only create chaos because they don't follow the law.
National Guardsmen: Before you follow illegal orders, know that your oath is to the Constitution of the United States and not a wanna be dictator, and contact a lawyer before you ruin your life.
Unbelievable!
“[A]ll three branches of the GOP-controlled government have been willing to torch the republic and democracy that generations of elected officials and citizens have tended for 249 years.” #AuthoritarianismIsHere Couldn’t make it to 250.
Trump wants everyone to take an oath to him. Can't his supporters see this is wrong! He condemns Gen Miley for being disloyal to him not the Constitution. It is Trump who has violated his oath to support and defend the Constitution. He should have been tossed in jail after January 6th.

What a bunch of ass kissing bullshit! Trump/Netanyahu/Putin the axis of evil. All deserve nothing but our condemnation!
There's nothing worse than lying about America's past. Not only is Trump lying about the past but his supports believe whatever he claims is true. How has the United States reached such a low point that the country is divided over what is true and false?
Whitewashing history.
It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.
Kristi needs to use up the funds allocated by the Big Beautiful Bill. What a waste of time and money!!
Kristi Noem and her squad of geniuses are painting the American side of the wall black—apparently to keep us from escaping.
George Carlin said "The American Dream, you'd have to be asleep to believe it. Every day Americans believe they are entitled to the American Dream, however, over the past 50 years, the Republicans (aka our rich overlords) try to find ways to steal our dream. I'm tired of being controlled! Vote!!!
Groceries, utilities, and health care all cost more today. But rather than helping bring prices down, Republicans passed legislation that slashes health care for 17 million Americans while funneling trillions in tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.
You do not have to like John Bolton to see this for what it is.
John Bolton posted this as his house was being raided by Trump’s FBI.
There's a felon in the white house. Does that count?
Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
So let’s keep making fun of Pedolf Shitler! 💯💯💯
RepubliKKKans tell Lies,or Alternative Facts......

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
“.. Yikes – @EliseStefanik literally got booed off the stage TWICE at an event in her district today. She hasn't hosted a #NY21 town hall in years. Now we know why.” (via Addison Dick)
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
Three out of touch angry men! They are vain, narcissistic and vengeful. Trump wants the Nobel Peace price. Really? The divider in chief. What a joke!
Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪
Remember this picture. The USA had once a decent President!!!!
Don’t give them an excuse
MAKE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OBSOLETE. VOTE ALL REPUBLICANS OUT OF OFFICE SCHOOL BOARDS, CITY, COUNTY, STATE, FEDERAL FROM BOOK BANNING & INEQUALITY, TO TAX BREAKS FOR THE RICH. THEIR LOYALTY IS TO TRUMP, NOT THE CONSTITUTION, NOT COUNTRY, NOT TO THE PEOPLE.
Newsom: "He's a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time we're having a conversation like this? Someone who's weak. Someone who's broken. Someone whose weakness is masquerading as strength."
OBAMA TO TEXAS DEMS: "We became complacent... This precious democracy is not a given. It requires us to fight for it." 🇺🇸

Tariffs need to be place on our Supreme Leaders lies. Perhaps the people of the United States could levy a tariff on his wealth each time Trump tells a lie. For the most egregious lies, a tariff of one million should be collected. I'm sure the government would collect plenty over the course of time
Governor Pritzker is right. No more blank checks for Netanyahu’s right-wing government and its military. No more blank checks for war crimes against Palestinians. forward.com/fast-forward...
Everything AOC ❤️ says,Is Worth Repeating.......
What a beautiful way to say something that some of us deny! We are all unique and yet part of the same body. Listen to the Woody Guthrie song "This Land is your Land." This song expresses what America should truly be!
