I am so angry that it has taken 10 years, the creation of a masked paramilitary Gestapo in the US, the destruction of our international influence for at least a generation, the devastation of our economy, and now direct attacks on a free press to get US press to do their job.

Back when I went to church, I recall a sermon vividly on Matthew 22:21-widely viewed as an example of Jesus‘s ability to avoid gotcha questions by telling people to give to Cesar, what is Caesar’s and to God what belongs to God. But the servant had a different point, which was that 1/3

The cross is now a symbol of repression and hate.

When the church starts focusing on politics and becoming involved in secular matters, it loses its proper focus, which is on worship and following Jesus‘s teachings. This was Back In in the mid 80s. I have watched the slow decline US christianity into a cult of bigotry, misogyny, and the worship 2/3

Of money and riches with a kind of horrified fascination. It is like the preacher at that sermon that day had a glimpse into the future as he warned that for the church to concern itself with Caesars works would mean the end of the church.

If only there were a law that said: "Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned" We could call it 18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting

He’s used the power of the presidency to accept Ribes, manipulate the stock market, and enrich himself and his family by billions of dollars. Even if he did follow through on this ( which he won’t)—$5k is an insult.

Aside from the blatant illegality here, you’ll get this right after your tariff dividend, your freedom dividend, Trump’s health care plan, and your $2 gas

Mad about the food all being poisoned? You can thank the heritage foundation and project 2025. These people don't believe we should have any oversight to keep our food safe.

2027 = deadly Medicaid cuts. Many clinics did their projections & shuttered their doors across the country. There will be maternity care deserts throughout the midwest. Here in NYC major healthcare systems are already denying Medicaid. For every Medicaid $1 lost, it will negatively impact Medicare.

I don’t know what is up with these weird accounts posting AI pictures of random places, but I am going to just start blocking them instead of giving them the attention they so clearly crave.

If we actually still had an independent press in this country, every one of them would publish a statement tomorrow saying “ we will no longer be part of the WHpress pool. This WH does nothing but lie, so we see no value to the public in repeating those lies. We refuse to have our employees abused”

I wasn’t at all surprised by the behavior of the demented madman Americans insisted on making President, but I was horrified and sickened by the extraordinary and indescribable cowardice displayed by Kristen Holmes’ fellow WH correspondents. Every one of them should be jobless.

Headlines this evening about how Trump is pulling the last US aircraft carrier in the Pacific out. Good Lord, is there anything at all but this administration can do right? China and Russia must be laughing their asses off. Who knew the KGB could win the Cold War decades after the USSR collapsed?

Apple: ~$2.2 billion Nike: $986 million FedEx: ~$800 million Amazon: $640 million General Motors: $500 million Giant corporations are raking in millions in tariff refunds and getting even richer. But remember: corporations passed tariff costs on to you. Where's YOUR refund?

Trump is not the problem. He’s just a symptom and a tool of the problem. The problem is the oligarchy which has co-opted a once-legitimate political party and successfully aligned the American economy to benefit only themselves

Taylor Swift actually signed off on Abdul El‑Sayed using her music…he did it the right way and asked first. And honestly, this ad is everything. Dropping “You Belong With Me” into a campaign spot is straight-up legend behavior. 🔥

Ah, so the Trump crime syndicate wants to “de-regulate” Head Start. Translation: they want to funnel taxpayer money to religious preschools and Republican donors all while, removing any kind of quality or protection for children tfrom the program.

Republicans are robbing from the poor. Taking healthcare away from people. Taking food away from people. All to pad the pockets of millionaires and billionaires.

Please REPOST below. There are so many Americans that are not aware of these cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It’s so crucial to create as much awareness as possible.🙏

Just saw a New Yorker article about how “the US and China are competing for the future of cars, work, and world domination”. Uh. No. China is taking over the future of cars, technology, and yeah world domination. The US is bumbling around with shit-covered lettuce, endless war, idiots in charge.
