I've been watching the Handmaid's Tale and there is no mention of jazz musicians in it.
What do you suppose would happen to jazz musicians in an authoritarian patriarchal theocracy like Gilead?

It must have come as quite a shock to Gandalf when he learned that Frodo was attacked because he was thinking about building a nuclear weapon.

Call your Republican reps to let them know you don't want a tax bill that:
Redistributes wealth from regular people to the rich
Adds trillions to our national debt
Takes health care away from millions of regular people

Don't let them steal from YOU.

What with the US Navy being sent to the Middle East to prepare for retaliation from Iran against American troops in the region, coupled with Trump's 'no foreign wars' meme to maga, I'll bet the Chinese are thinking it may be a fortuitous time to go after the island formerly known as Formosa

Soooo... what's in the news?
Are they talking about that tax bill where they give trillions in tax breaks to the wealthy at the expense of working people, add trillions to our debt and cut health care for regular people?

Call your Republican senators and representatives and tell them you want a balanced budget by raising taxes on the wealthy - and no healthcare cuts for the working class!

While Trump keeps all 3 rings in his circus busy for us to look at, let's not forget that the shittiest tax bill for working Americans in a century is about to be voted on in the Senate.
Call your Republican representatives and tell them how you feel.
Now, before it's too late.

The Republican/Trump tax bill adds $4,000,000,000,000 to our debt, gives tax breaks to the wealthy at the expense of working people and takes health care away from at least 11 million people.

Assuming you don't want these things...call your Republican senator and tell them. They're about to vote.

Trump stopped the Russian invasion of Ukraine on his 1st day, right?!
He stopped the conflict in Gaza and turned it into a Mediterranean resort, right?!
Under his great competent leadership we'll also have a resolution to the Israeli/Iranian conflict by tomorrow, right?!
Winning.

Do you want:
Tax breaks for the wealthy at the expense of working people?
Millions of Americans losing their healthcare?
Adding trillions to our debt?

Call your Republican senator and tell them how you feel right now...or this is what you'll get. πŸ˜“

American morality certainly has changed...
The last time the National Guard was used without a governor's approval was to support the inclusion of people into our society.
Trump is using it to remove people from our society.

Speaking to troops at Fort Bragg, N.C. today, Trump addressed the protests, calling LA β€œa trash heap”, promising to β€œliberate” the city.

Trump is telling lies. As a resident of LA, I can tell you it's actually quite beautiful.

The only thing we need liberation from is the tyranny of Trump.

Does this look like a situation that requires 2000 National Guard soldiers and 700 Marines to control?

They are LYING to you to falsely justify setting up a military state.

Earlier, Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had made β€œa great decision” in sending in the National Guard. β€œIf we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated.”

He's lying. As a resident of LA, I can tell you this is a total lie.

Do U want the US to go into debt of $2,500,000,000,000?
Wealthy to get $4,000,000,000,000 in tax breaks at the expense of working people?
14,000,000 Americans to lose healthcare?
If you answer no, call your Republican senator, let them know. Otherwise, this is what we'll get.πŸ˜“

Can anyone tell me what kind of head of state has a $50 million military parade with tanks, troops and rocket launchers in the capital city on their birthday?

The new Big Lie is that LA has been invaded and taken over by migrants and needs the federal military to repel the "migrant invaders."
As a resident of LA, I confirm that this is a lie. It's intended to sway America into believing that we need military help.
Don't believe it.

The president says β€œtake all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion, and put an end to these Migrant riots.”

As a resident of Los Angeles, I can say that the only thing we need liberation from is the fascist tyranny of Donald Trump.

The National Guard was needed at the Capitol during Trump's insurrection on Jan 6.
Not in Los Angeles on June 8.

Easy fix for the Big Ugly Bill:
1 Extend tax cuts for working people
2 Raise taxes on the wealthy
3 No cuts to healthcare
4 Strip provisions that make the President not have to follow court orders

Call your Senators, particularly if they're Republicans, tell them that's what you want

Do you enjoy...
Being another $4 Trillion in debt?
Losing your health care?
Tax hikes for working people and tax breaks for the wealthy?
If your answer to any of these questions is "NO," please contact your US Senators, 202-224-3121, to tell them to change those provisions.
