Election results
Judiciary
International law
Human rights
The Constitution
The rule of law
The voters’ needs
Reality

They are erasing everything that keeps democracy alive.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

This is not ignoring the law.
It is breaking the law.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

No democracy survives secrecy.

Two people shot by federal agents this week:

Chicago and Dallas.
Live rounds.
Conflicting accounts.
Silence from leadership.

When we stop demanding answers, accountability dies.
Call your reps.
Demand independent investigations.
Insist on full, unedited footage.

How about no to a party that repeatedly lies to you?

When people have shown you they are operating in a means-justified-end strategy, just vote no.

Did you not learn anything from Rubio??

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with the GOP on Obamacare, calling to avoid premium hikes Greene said she's "not a fan" of Obamacare but complained that her "own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE" if Congress ignores the issue.

Marjorie Taylor Greene just realized her adult children’s insurance premiums would double if the Republican cuts to ACA go through.

She’s broken party lines and is siding with the Dems.

How many more MAGA people are out there like her? Who don’t realize these cuts will financially devastate them?

or perhaps it is political preservation kicking in

I hate so much to admit that Trump is write.

We do need to work on education.

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland.

That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead.

This isn't a "left wing" judge — Trump appointed her.

Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.

I am getting frustrated having to still say so much about his power grabs.

Wow, many thanks! You are sweet.

When anyone's riots are violated, yours are. This is what many need to learn and fast!

A Year of Convulsions in New York’s Prisons Jennifer Gonnerman reports on how two murders and a strike exposed a system at its breaking point.

Incarcerated people have long talked about a “blue wall of silence” in prisons: an unspoken agreement among correction officers to cover up for one another’s abuses. A report filed after the murder of Robert Brooks exemplifies this phenomenon.

He has the strongest skin crawling vibe ever!

I just had a drag-out on FB with 2 people that thought it was 'probably' ok to ZIP TIE KIDS in Chicago to "keep them safe" while they 'cleared the apartment building" of gangs and illegals.
THIS IS FKING INSANE!!! INSANE!

I'm so sorry. Breathe

love it!

I apologize. My skills are limited. I don't know how to see what you are replying to. If you clarify, I will respond.

Leaders don’t get to pick which laws apply to them or which courts can judge them, such a trump move.

The move comes after the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli officials over alleged war crimes in Gaza, prompting backlash & a deeper conflict over accountability.

The world is calling us out.

Sort of...

Did they miss the bombing of fishermen?
