The bulldozing of Big Bend's wilderness is the start of the wholesale destruction Trump and his folks have planned. Stop it now, or it spreads. Call your Representative. Fascism takes hold when people give up. Minnesotans stood up for their neighbors. All of us must stand up for our public lands.

Texans are rallying to halt destructive border construction in Big Bend National Park. Even if you're not in Texas, call your representatives and urge them to call for the halt of the destruction.

"Released in 1985 and written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, "We Are The World" united top music stars for a global mission. Beyond its harmonies, this powerful humanitarian anthem served as a call to action, sparking cross-generational empathy and raising vital aid for those in need."

Obama's position wasn't pro- gay marriage, but pro civil unions. At the time at the federal level there was no recognized gay marriage. In fact Obama was essentially forced to support it by Joe Biden who then apologized to Obama for what he said on gay marriage.

Trump: ‘We’re gonna stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon, but we’re gonna make it easier for the guys who brought you 9/11 & murdered an American journalist to get one because MBS pays my son-in-law a fortune. Also, Orb Dance. Thank you for your attention in this matter!.’

Native American environmental activist, author, and economist Winona LaDuke has long said: "Someone needs to explain to me why wanting clean drinking water makes you an activist, and why proposing to destroy water with chemical warfare doesn’t make a corporation a terrorist."

Trump signed an executive order trying to seize personal control of elections. The League of Women Voters sued. We won. That’s not luck — that’s what happens when people fight back instead of panicking. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies

How can the “greatest country” not even be able to find if a senator is dead or alive? What are we even doing? Hello, is anyone there?

Being undocumented is not grounds for murder. Being a minority is not grounds for murder. Fleeing a scene is not grounds for murder. Committing a crime is not grounds for murder. There’s a judicial system & due process for everyone. When ICE kill people, it’s an extrajudicial execution.

Sen. Susan Collins is concerned about the growing number of people protesting outside her office calling for ICE to be abolished. Way to make your voices heard! Thank you to everyone who is standing up and speaking out! #VoteHerOut

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Dear media, You don't have to say "E Jean Carroll accused Trump of defamation and rape." You can say "Trump defamed and raped E Jean Carroll." It's been adjudicated. Thank you
