Flooding the zone. Millions rally against King Trump including red states. I'm getting ready too, here in SoCal.

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat.

Now is a time for courage.

Unless the U.S. uses real leverage--military aid cutoffs--to Israel, nothing will stop Netanyahu from committing crimes against humanity in Gaza.

For all those concerned about the fate of our democracy, should Trump win, a short, animated video reminder of what he instigated 3 years ago, and a warning what could happen in the future. #Trump#selfcoup#coup#democracy#insurrection

The SCOTUS fascists are at it again. Ruling Trump's claim of immunity regarding his self-coup of 1.6.21 can be heard in April. That means a ruling in June, plus more legal delays after that. And that, folks means impunity from prosecution.
