Rights of due process don't depend on our personal opinions of the accused. For example, I regard the January 6, 2021, criminals as insurrectionists and traitors - yet I am still glad that each and every one of them got a proper trial before they were convicted and sentenced.

We pay thousands every year with "good" employer insurance. With copays, deductibles, and network "allowable" fees, our bills for a family with pre-existing conditions are big. I can't imagine when Trump and Congress overturn ACA. I worry about my kids and the bills they will face as adults.

I truly hope that one silver lining we take from this coup is that voters begin to understand that when you vote for president, you’re not just selecting one person. You’re selecting all the judges they’ll appoint, and the entire cabinet.

The Justice Department is slashing its public corruption unitβ€”because the easiest way to hide corruption is to stop looking for it.

πŸ“Œ Prosecutors have been told they will be asked to take new assignments in the department and as few as five lawyers may remain in the unit.

If you live in Europe, Australia, NZ, Japan, or anywhere else in the world and want to help Canada end Trump's hostility, you have to hit the red states HARD.  Do not spend a cent of your tourism dollars there - come to Canada.

To our allies in the USA, we see you and we know 50% of you loathe orange Hitler as much as we do.  We will get through this together.  It's going to be a rough ride, but we won't abandon you.  Help us fight.

Canada is going hard in the paint. They have done research on red states and they are organizing a worldwide boycott of red states. They did the research…

They also did not travel to the US during spring break.

Let me try to explain the war in Ukraine in a way MAGA might understand.

A group of Fentanyl smuggling cartel members crossed the border and began to attack people in El Paso.

UKR + EU want to push them back across the border.

Trump wants to move the border north of El Paso.

Thank you Doc.
There are many "alt" accounts who haven't requested to join, have dropped out of vetting, some outright ghosted, and some who didn't make the cut.
Stick with the starter pack. They're added immediately after vetting & have agreed to the standards for which #AltGov is known.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Today marks exactly 4 weeks - 28 days - since Inauguration.
For those who lived through it, this has felt much like watching the 2nd plane hit the tower - over and over and over.
The pattern is clear. This is an attack on our liberty.

Odds are good that someone in your life has received vital care at a university-affiliated hospital near you.

Trump and Musk want to destroy them. Call your reps and demand they push back -- especially if they're Republicans.

The scariest part β€œour vision for a golden age of art and culture”. Hitler controlled the arts and culture of the Motherland, everyone had to create only Aryan art.
