Trump ended eight wars πŸ™„, but he can’t even keep the United States open, pay its workers, or help its people from starving. But hey, he has a ballroom.

56 days since U.S. House of Rep. was in session. Gov’t is shut down. Supreme Court won’t stop 47. How exactly does USA not have a king?

Why is it socialism to help indigent people with housing, food & medical, but it’s capitalism to bail out banks, airlines, auto industry & farmers?

Really curious here. What about Jesus makes anyone think he would support torture prisons, cut food & medical aid & believe black & brown people are less capable?

Kirk’s widow claims she forgives her husband’s killer, yet she sticks with MAGA as they use torture prisons for brown people who committed no crimes

2 panel meme. 
First panel shows Homer reading the script from a fortune cookie while Marge's sister cries in the background. "Wow the fortune cookies here really are more accurate"

Second panel shows Homer's fingers holding the message from the fortune cookie. Message reads: the longer you comply with their tyranny, the worse this is going to get.

At No Kings II on Oct. 18, 2025, we must make our voices heard loud and clear to be heard over the gun-waving, coal-rolling, and accusatory screaming of the wrong-headed extremist far right that makes up the smaller part of our country.

The left isn’t β€œdancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

Can’t express in words how big this rally in Chicago is. The president’s fascist goon squad is not welcome here.

Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds. Epstein’s victims who stood before God and country are not a hoax. Shame on him.

Shame on this administration and all past ones that have hidden the truth to protect them and theirs. Trump was best friends with this country’s most prolific sex abuser and trafficker. The victims were compelling. This is not a β€œhoax.”

Texas Republicans just redrew most districts in their image. They placed a foot on the scale so most elections will be easier for them to win. Shameful.

Gov. Abbott said Texans don’t run from a fight. But that is what Republicans are doing by redrawing maps so they win without fighting or earning votes.

This and other articles say that MAGA has made major cuts to weather forecast services, including monitoring hurricanes. The people affected expected much less rainfall, and they got twice what they were told.

I took this photo this week at the Capitol Reef NP. The flag was attached to a tree post as it waved brightly among ominous dark clouds. More than ever, I am concentrating on the last 5 words of the pledge of allegiance that I hope everyone takes to heart today: β€œWith liberty and justice for ALL.”

Want to know what Trump & his allies think of ALL Latinos, whether U.S. citizens or not? Trump ally Laura Loomer said they should send ALL of us to be killed at Alligator Alcatraz. No, this is not the slightest bit funny, unless you think Hitler’s actions were cute
