Sadly, we no longer live in a functioning democracy.

Trump’s 2028 Power Grab

Steve Bannon says the quiet part out loud! MAGA is revealing the supervillain plot, telling the world Trump isn't leaving. What is the majority prepared to do to save our democracy?

The New York Times’ love affair with what they believe is neutral language can sometimes become an abusive relationship.

I crawled through another week.

It's time to hang out with kiddo.

To crochet.

Listen to audiobooks.

Look at the leaves.

Drink some coffee.

Eat some stew.

And try not to dread next week.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Conveniently, right before the midterms!

This isn’t going to go the way they think it is.

The National Guard isn’t going to allow themselves to be used as Trump’s voter suppression force.

β€˜He watched me beg for my life. Even in Australia, I couldn’t escape Epstein and my abusers’ After a whirlwind romance in Thailand, 19-year-old Virginia Roberts married Australian Robbie Giuffre, broke with Jeffrey Epstein and sought freedom in Sydney.

The sordid story of pain and suffering from being a victim of Epstein and Maxwell. The truth remains hidden because Republicans don't have the spine to stand up to Donald Trump.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings
