Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

$12 billion dollars has been budgeted for affordable housing. $45 billion has been budgeted for new detention centers. They’re going after the homeless next. During his first term, Trump remarked how much he admires North Korea’s labor camp system. It’s not hard to see where things are going.

Latest Executive Order: “Endemic vagrancy, disorderly behavior, sudden confrontations, and violent attacks have made our cities unsafe…Shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment will restore public order…”

We need more of this. We need our political leaders to start calling on our military leaders to uphold their oaths. Because the Trump administration is clearly operating outside the Constitution, and neither the Supreme Court nor Congress is being the check and balance that they’re supposed to be.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Right now their place in history is looking like that of the Nazis, from my perspective, as they round up human beings and ship them to what is literally a concentration camp.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

There are no words to describe how disgusting this is. The closest I can think of is “Naziism.” That’s what it looks like, 21st century Naziism. No surprise, coming from a guy who said immigrants are “poisoning our blood.” Straight up eugenics talk, just like Hitler used against the Jews.

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

America has 26% of the global GDP but just 4% of the world’s population. Other countries with so much less do so much more for their citizens. We should all be wealthy. The problem is 90% of us are forced to subsist of just 25% of our economy, while the oligarchy hoards the rest.

When government officials steal people off the streets by force while wearing masks to disguise their identity, it opens the door for actual criminals to steal ANYONE off the streets, for ANY reason. Even you. Call Congress and demand accountability for & transparency from ICE.

I just learned a good friend was putting off getting a malignant lump removed from her breast because she didn’t have the $500 copayment. Of course, I immediately sent her the money. But I am so appalled at the state of healthcare in this country. It’s downright criminal!

“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - FDR

Transgenders in sports has been a focal point for the MAGA Republicans, and they’ve targeted Maine because of it. They don’t seem aware that we raise our girls tough enough to compete with the boys. Like Maddie Ripley, who won the state wrestling title. Twice. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/fluke...

Trump claims there is a genocide against white farmers happening in S. Africa. Last year, S. Africa saw over 26K murders. Of that, 23 were white people killed in farm attacks. Maybe Trump should look to Palestine if he wants to see what a genocide actually looks like.

Compare minimum wage from 1970 to now, as a % of the GDP: 1970 GDP: $1.073 trillion Minimum wage: $1.45/hr % of GDP: 0.00000000000135% 2025 GDP: $29 trillion (2024) Minimum wage: $7.25/hr % of GDP: 0.00000000000025 0.00000000000135/0.00000000000025 = 5.4 That’s grater than a 5:1 ratio.

Why I believe Facebook banned me permanently. This politician is the worst that Maine has to offer. She is a bully, fixated on the transgender issue, and has defended Neo-Naziism. For being the first to comment on this post, I got lots of love. Over 50 angry reactions when Facebook banned me.
