If every person who has attempted or plans to attend a No Kings March votes Blue in the midterm election Congress can be retaken. Think about what this simple act can accomplish. Be sure you double check that you are registered to vote well in advance. This is a very patriotic act .

Something strange really is happening. Some of the MAGA voices now breaking with Trump are suddenly making points that actually make sense. Are we agreeing with them or are they finally agreeing with us? It’s honestly unsettling finding ourselves nodding along with MTG and Massie on a regular basis.

The irrational strongman we’ve been warned about is here His name is Donald J. Trump.

"Trump's attack on Iran is terrifying in part because it's so untethered from policy goals and logic. He offered a range of half-hearted explanations for his rush to war, but the conflicting excuses only underlined the obvious truth β€” he attacked Iran because he felt like it."

Trump's war on elections is hiding in plain sight False claims that foreign government interference caused him to lose in 2020 have been a staple of the diet of lies Trump feeds to his faithful.

I do not traffic in or promote conspiracy theories. But I also refuse to turn a blind eye to what is plainly happening to our democracy.

The death toll from the Iran school tragedy has hit 148, mostly children aged 7–12, with 95 others wounded. A staggering, unforgivable loss that defines our current moral decay.

I have not followed her that closely. Quite a few of voters do agree with you on the 2024 Dem losses. Presently, I choose Mindful Democracy and try to move beyond conflict-driven politics.

Jasmine Crockett has sparked a revolution in Texas and in DC!

She is a force! A force women can be proud of !

ICE Protest Turns VIOLENT After Police ATTACK TEEN
YouTube video by Katie Phang ICE Protest Turns VIOLENT After Police ATTACK TEEN

While participating in a student walkout in Quakertown, PA to protest ICE, a 15-year old girl is placed into a violent chokehold by the Chief of Police. She now faces aggravated assault charges.

These brave students show how we can fight back against the Trump Regime.

Temco drivers unionize despite stiff opposition β€” a first for a Home Depot subsidiary β€œWe did have management telling us that we were going to lose our jobs and would shut down.”

For the first time ever, workers at a Home Depot company have unionized.

Drivers who deliver building materials for Home Depot’s Temco subsidiary have voted to join the Teamsters.

They did so despite a vicious anti-union campaign from Home Depot and Temco.

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat.
No authorization from Congress.
No reason our service members should be dead.
And no exit plan or strategy.

This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.

In the 60's I watched the Civil Rights movement unfold. In the 70's, I watched the Women's Rights movement unfold. In between, the Vietnam War played out on the evening news.

As such, John Fogerty's Fortunate Son is my favorite anti-war protest song.πŸ’™

California salutes the courage and enduring sacrifice of our service members and their loved ones.

But our Commander in Chief? Don't worry, he's focused on what really matters: himself.

Per Trump’s own admission the regime change planned for Iran was a reshuffling of the existing regime, they just want generals that will work for Israel’s interests. Democracy isn’t even in one of the options. Just subservience.
