Veteran and concerned citizen. The constitutional crisis continues. Trump wants to silence, imprison, even kill opposition. He is a dictator. There is no negotiation with, or quarter for, fascists and their supporters. We must act now or we are doomed.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

if you think something being "natural" or "plant-based" makes it healthy and something being made in a lab and loaded into a syringe is inherently dangerous, you're an idiot. you should lose access to your kids if you harm them due to this belief www.propublica.org/article/more...

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.
The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

let this be a message to Americans who join the military. the GOP will campaign on your death and use their power to delete your existence from the history books once it becomes inconvenient.
The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.

LA Schools are OFFICIALLY cutting ties with anyone helping ICE. 🛡️ No more contracts for companies enabling mass detentions. This is how you resist! ✊ Details here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-los...
When will we EVER hold the ruling class accountable?
146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

Realistically, this is the best-case outcome, WW3 the worst-case scenario.
We all know how Trump’s Iran War ends. With the military doing what they were ordered to do very well, Trump failing to achieve what he promised, costing taxpayers a fortune, America’s standing in the world diminished, higher gas prices & inflation, with Trump declaring victory.

John Gai carried his sick father to a nearby clinic in a wheelbarrow, but he died from cholera on the way. Gai then pushed the wheelbarrow for hours through the camp to take him to the cemetery: “Nobody should have to carry a dead body among the living.”

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

you can't work with Republicans. you can't compromise with them either. you either win or they do.
Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence. He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

Trump is selling out our kids’ future so his fossil fuel billionaire friends can get even richer. The science is clear. Climate change is an existential threat to the planet. We must transform our energy system away from fossil fuels and into sustainable energies.

another guy who never protested before radicalized to the point of tears by watching masked ICE agents terrify children in his neighborhood the Republicans are not ready or mentally capable of comprehending the backlash they have generated
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
