I am a 67-year-old semi-retired woman, mother, grandmother, radiology tech, believe in science, a democrat, liberal etc. The country has slid back at least 40 years. How do I tell my grandchildren that our democracy is moving towards a dictatorship.

Billionaires are bankrolling culture wars to keep us divided.

Why? Because they’d rather you ignore the real issue at hand: working people pay too much in taxes while the wealthy don’t pay enough.

The good news: we have a solution. The MONEY Agenda ➡️ patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

He is a man of retaliation with no morals. He is out for revenge only and lining his pockets with our money.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has no place lecturing Californians. He left 6 billion in cuts, classrooms gutted, and kids without care. He wasn’t a hero — he was the hatchet man for the rich. Vote Yes On Prop 50

This is their plan.

Trump wants to use the insurrection act to stay in power.

They’re not tracking down felons they are racist and removing anybody that’s not white. Then reassigning a quarter of the FBI agents just shows you how extreme they will go for ethnic cleansing.

Pope Leo Ramps Up His Trump Feud With Order to American Bishops The Chicago-born pontiff has sharpened his criticism of the Trump administration and reportedly decided to take action.

"At the Vatican Wednesday, Pope Leo urged bishops to 'speak strongly' on behalf of immigrants affected by Trump’s deportation drive.

The pope met privately Tuesday with 100 American Catholics involved in migrant ministry, thanking them for their work..."

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

🧵

Yesterday, Stephen Miller had one of the most terrifying Freudian slips I've ever heard.

He claimed Trump has plenary authority (absolute power)—before cutting himself off.

Today, Trump said Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson should be *jailed*.

This is how authoritarian regimes talk. (1/3)

Jimmy Kimmel and the Power of Public Pressure | The Political Scene | The New Yorker | WNYC The Washington Roundtable discusses how, in the wake of the reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel’s show, public resistance has a chance to turn the tide against autocratic impulses in today’...

I'm late to this -- came out a couple weeks ago -- sorry -- but this podcast episode is really worth listening to (despite the episode title, it's only incidentally about the Kimmel fiasco).

Highly recommended.

They are nothing but propaganda and lies. Sued for billions given to the people and not Trump.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr. We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

Six former U.S. Surgeons General slap WARNING on RFK Jr. - he’s a serious threat to our nation’s health.

RFK Jr. isn’t leading HHS, he’s poisoning it.

Before Trump Ordered In Troops, Federal Officers Called Portland Protests ‘Low Energy’
