So tired of vertigo. I cut out caffeine, gluten,dairy and alcohol yrs ago. Today was a rough day, bent over and that was it, world flipped. 😔

There’s no Religion on earth that would in any way condone this administration that persecutes Females, Gays, People of Color, Poor, hungry, Sick and Veterans, because they're committed to saving the wealthy elite’s 💰!

It is heartbreaking that women and girls never get justice. The rich and powerful get away with this every damn day.

Actually this is true. ICE has been showing who they are. The new American Nazi Gestapo.

U.S. Is Added to Human Rights Watchlist The United States was added Sunday to the CIVICUS Monitor Watchlist, due to declining civil liberties.

Donald Trump does not "run" the country. That's not how it works. His fantasies do not equal our realities.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

A Life-Changing Scientific Study Ended by the Trump Administration Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., declared chronic diseases an “existential threat.” Then his agency terminated one of the world’s longest-running diabetes trials.

How many NIH supported "life-changing" studies have been or will be terminated?

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

Happy Earth day🌸

Spent the weekend planting herbs and flowers. We miss you Prince. 9 yrs ago today.

I’m a Soybean Farmer Who Voted for Trump. I’m Begging the President to End the Trade War. The tariffs on China could put us out of business by 2027. All our blood, sweat, and toil could vanish with the stroke of a pen.

With new, specialized, ground-based telescopes coming on line, our knowledge of hazardous asteroids and comets will grow exponentially in the coming years.

Seems like a bad time to reduce science funding to NASA. Just sayin'.

If passed, the SAVE ACT would create particular burdens for military voters, low-income voters, elderly voters, rural voters, and tens of millions of married women who have changed their names. Call your senators! Tell them to vote NO!
Hands Off Her Vote!

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping?

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.

Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Airline signs deal with ICE, seeks 'energetic, highly motivated' flight attendants to 'support the department's deportation efforts' Avelo Airlines signed an agreement to fly for ICE to "support the department's deportation efforts," the company told 12News.

Stop Groping Greenland Trump’s predatory treatment of Greenland and Denmark is psychosexually sick.

"'She told you Greenland is not for sale,' said one reporter. 'Will you take no for an answer on that?' Trump made it clear that he wouldn’t. 'I think we’re going to have it.'" Trump can't take no for an answer in any context. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/stop-gropi...

In Matter of Days, Outlook Shifts From Solid Growth to Recession Risk The economy was chugging along. Then came President Trump’s dramatic tariff increase.

Serious question. Where will he gets his tied from now? Willing to bet his coins are made in China as well.
