A violent rhetoric spread by a major political party will always lead to violent results.

Zelensky is a hero to Ukraine, and Trump is a traitor to America. It is just that simple.

Amazingly grotesque. The republican administration is taking money meant to help people in disasters, and then using it to punish and deport immigrants who perform so many valuable and needed services in our country.

Some of the clearest evidence there is that the supposed โ€œassassination attemptโ€ was choreographed for tRumpโ€™s promotional benefit. tRumpโ€™s aid knew to bring the photographers around to a known location to take the promotional photo that weโ€™ve all seen countless times. Criminal on so many levels.

Very long partial list of how tRump and his Republican Assets are destroying America. This list is bound to get even longer because it is just from the past 7 months.

The Sentinel-Intelligence Escape wishful thinking.

Always remember that Trump is very good at distraction. The latest is Epstein. Sure, thereโ€™s a lot of dirt there, but that was 2019. Why now? Distraction. His own private army. Gutting services. Mass deportation. Destroying democracy. Crypto profits. And on and on. Stay focused on the real issues.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the worldโ€™s energy system.

This is quite an amazingly good article about current solar use and increasing energy production. Maybe there is hope after all.

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

This did not go well.

The voter purge is happening. We must block the republican plan to win elections in 2026, and beyond. Their strategy prevented many thousands of legitimate voters from casting a ballot in 2024. Their plan is to keep doing it in even greater numbers giving them a majority. They must be stopped.

The Project 2025 Republican plan is like The Great Leap Forward disaster in China - 1958 to 1962, led by Mao Zedong, leading to between 15 and 55 million deaths. Strategy: Make rapid changes regardless of costs and lives lost. Lasted: 4 years. Total obedience. Ignore suffering. Catastrophic results.

2025 Civil War - We must wake up to the fact that the extreme right has started their war. They have breached the front lines and are now engaged in a constant onslaught to disorient the left. They have the courts, media, pentagon, nearly everything. We must fight back, and do so very quickly.

This is plain and simple market manipulation by Trump, and the (possibly) illegal sharing of insider information. He absolutely knew he was going to postpone the tariffs and that the stock market would rise substantially. There are many ways to transfer wealth to his buddies. This is one of them.

Opinion | Trump may be planning to make court rulings about a third term irrelevant The president's plans don't rest on the courts. They ignore judges entirely.

The most scary article I have read recently. An evil plan to retain and grow in power, eliminating foes and those who would oppose a third term. Itโ€™s right out of the playbook from Russia and other authoritarian governments. Everyone needs to know how he plans to stay in power - so we can fight it.

'The ice melted beneath our feet': The huskies that revealed the rapid shrinking of Greenland's ice In 2019, climate scientist Steffen Olsen took a startling photo of huskies appearing to walk on water. The photo went viral as it revealed the reality of Greenland's melting ice.

In Greenland, dogs appear to walk on water. But this photo reveals ominous signs of climate change, as warming periods occur more frequently, and more ice melts, like in so many other locations in the world. This will lead to rising sea levels and many other negative effects for our planet and life.

Tesla stock is WAY overpriced with a stock price to earnings ratio (P/E) of about 118. Ford and other major car makers have a P/E of ONLY about 6. Iโ€™m not a stock analyst, but like I said, Tesla is way overpriced, and their car sales are plummeting. One month stock price chart shows itโ€™s down 32%.

Absolutely true. Our country is quickly and systematically being destroyed. Our rights, our treasury, our privacy, our land, air, and environment, our rule of law, our common sense of decency, our democracy. Veterans benefits too. And think about this: Maybe our actual voting tabulation systems.

Hereโ€™s an example of how to call your senators and representatives. Phone calls are the best way, and itโ€™s most effective to actually talk to a person who is designated for that issue. Emails are ignored. Voicemails are too, but better than nothing. Say your zip code to show you vote in their area.
