How do we know white supremacy is real and a growing problem? When white people go to such lengths to pretend racism isn't real, THAT's how you know white supremacy is growing. White people can't honestly confront racism because it would be an admission that it's real and that they are culpable.

These are but a sampling of the Americans who LOVE AMERICA but hate what Trump and Republicans are doing to it! And none of those in power now can handle the truth; its why they constantly try to pretend otherwise. LAME.

The party's over. The greed of affluence has trashed the whole place and now it's time to sober up and clean up. Stop exploiting and extracting and start repairing and renewing. We need radical and widespread accountability and that's what billionaires are afraid of so they've locked everyone out.

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

The US Attorney General has been and continues to be the ex facto "chief law enforcement officer" according to the US Constitution. The President has a constitutional "duty of care" to see that existing laws are upheld and followed, doing so through the administration of the executive branch.

Denver study shows removing parking requirements results in more affordable housing being built Structured parking can cost as much as $50,000 per space, making housing more expensive to build and for those living there.

Parking spaces can cost developers up to $50k each. Dropping the mandate to have them at all opens the door to cheaper housing and walkable neighborhoods.

Lessons from Denver where decisions to eliminate parking minimums follow similar moves in cities like Austin and Minneapolis ⬇️

Hochul: "They promised to extract revenge on their political enemies & apparently any state that has a D gov. Tell me how Florida & Texas could receive these same funds w/o having to go to court? They're playing politics, but more than that, they're playing with people's lives. And that's abhorrent"

If the Voting Rights Act goes down at the hands of this Supreme Court, I foresee an all out assault on the Electoral College because a strong majority of Americans both loves the VRA and hates the EC. It will absolutely be backlash to SCOTUS decisions since 2022 when the court went the against us.

Why countries struggle to quit fossil fuels, despite higher costs and 30 years of climate talks and treaties The International Energy Agency expects global renewable energy capacity to double by 2030, even with lower growth in the US, but fossil fuels still dominate.

Don't know if I will make it to the rally on Saturday (been under the weather) but here is the sign I would carry:

More disgusting police violence toward citizens videos; this time a mom trying to PU her child from school. I look forward to a day when minorities gain enough ground to be able to force constitutional policing. And that's EXACTLY why we have Trump's escalating authoritarianism now: white fear.

Trump is letting Macron know that he knows Macron is damaged goods in France. Trump is shaming Macron and asserting power in their relationship.
