Trump posted a video of “King Trump” flying a jet over an American city and dumping excrement on the people below. Hard to imagine a more fitting metaphor for his presidency — though I’m sure the irony is lost on him.

Look up your reps and call them: www.congress.gov/members/find...

You don’t have to be a Democrat to say this:
The Constitution gives Congress—not the president—the power to declare war.

If you believe in America First and peace through strength, demand that your elected officials stand up and stop unauthorized wars.

No more endless wars. No more presidents bypassing Congress.

President Trump just launched strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites without approval from Congress—and that’s not how our system is supposed to work.

Religion isn't just outdated, it's a weapon. It's being used to justify war crimes, strip away women's rights, fuel homophobia, and silence dissent. Politicians hide behind scripture while violating every value they claim to uphold. It's not about faith, it's about power, and people are dying for it

We've come full circle—trying to justify military action to stop a Middle Eastern country from obtaining WMDs. We've been here before. It ended in disaster. Don’t let history repeat itself.

With these new possible directives, I find myself questioning whether I can, in good conscience, continue in this role. My dedication to public service remains, but the expectations have fundamentally changed.

It’s being framed as “merit-based,” but reads more like an ideological screening. Critics are already calling it a loyalty test—and they're not wrong. If these changes are implemented, I’m not sure my values will allow me to stay. I didn’t sign up to serve a king.

I joined the federal workforce because I believe in public service—not personal loyalty to any one president. Now, the Trump administration has proposed requiring job applicants to write essays affirming their commitment to his priorities. (politico.com)

Modern Christianity is wanting the comfort of feeling like a good person without the discomfort of actually changing your behavior. It’s about claiming grace without practicing growth. All the appearance of righteousness with none of the reflection or responsibility.

Calculators didn’t replace mathematicians. Spell check didn’t replace editors. Machine translation didn’t replace translators.

AI won’t replace software developers either. But like other technological advancements before it, it will reduce errors, boost efficiency, and help us build great software.

The President is negotiating with Qatar—a foreign monarchy—to use a luxury jumbo jet as Air Force One, with plans to donate it to his presidential library.

This isn’t diplomacy. It’s a foreign government compromising the President with gifts.

And his supporters and the GOP are letting it happen.

specific groups undermines the very fabric of our democracy.

Stay informed and vigilant. Protecting our rights requires us to speak out against any attempts to erode them, regardless of who's in power.

that protect all citizens from government overreach. Suspending habeas corpus sets a dangerous precedent that could be exploited by any administration.

Remember, the Constitution allows suspension of habeas corpus only in cases of rebellion or invasion. Using it to suppress dissent or target

Without habeas corpus, the government could detain anyone indefinitely without due process. No charges. No trial. No accountability. This is the kind of unchecked power that big government skeptics have always warned about.

This isn't a partisan issue. It's about preserving the fundamental rights

Trump is considering suspending habeas corpus — the constitutional right that protects you from being jailed without charges or a trial. This isn't just legal jargon; it's a direct threat to your freedom. www.bbc.com/news/article...

You didn’t get that tattoo just for aesthetics—you got it because you believe those words matter. So where’s that conviction now?

When are all the people with 'We the People' tattoos going to speak out against the clear constitutional violations happening under this administration? If you believe in the founding principles, now’s the time to say something.

Honestly, the more “religious” someone claims to be, the less moral they usually are.

The more I’ve seen how religious people behave—especially the ones who make the biggest show of their faith—the more I’ve been pushed away from religion entirely. I used to think it was about compassion and integrity, but now I mostly see hypocrisy, judgment, and blind allegiance to power.

stand firm, speak truth, and vote for leaders who defend civil rights and global cooperation.

To the rest of the world: take note. Authoritarianism thrives on silence and fear. It's time to stand up—together—for democracy, dignity, and justice.

Congratulations to Canada for electing leaders who champion liberal values and refuse to bow to authoritarian bullying—whether it comes from Trump or anyone else.

In a time when democracy is under threat around the world, Canada is setting an example: (1/2)

And where are all the folks still mad about Waco? Thought federal overreach was the enemy—guess it’s fine now, as long as it’s aimed at someone else.

Funny how the “small government, pro-liberty” crowd suddenly loves big government when it’s used to crush local control, expand surveillance, and give the feds power to override civil rights protections.

You don’t get to chant freedom while cheering on a militarized police state.

Having religion doesn’t make a society safer. The most peaceful countries—like Sweden, Japan, and New Zealand—are among the least religious. Meanwhile, many deeply religious nations face high levels of violence, poverty, and instability. Safety comes from strong institutions—not belief in a deity.

I’m less shocked by what this administration is doing than by how many people I know are still okay with it.

You can’t claim to care about justice, the rule of law, individual rights, or the Constitution while defending those who trample them. Values aren’t just words—they're choices.

Where are all the self-proclaimed patriots who say they love the Constitution? Where are the defenders of liberty now that we're seeing authoritarian overreach, political targeting, and violations of due process? If you believe in freedom, this is the moment to speak up—not stay silent.

Market fluctuations? Smart investors stay diversified, maintain proper asset allocation, and rebalance periodically — not emotionally. The most effective strategy? Automatic investing, long-term focus, and ignoring short-term noise. Set it and forget it. Don’t let emotions drive financial decisions.
