Why Does Trump Hate Sesame Street?
Robert Reich Why Does Trump Hate Sesame Street?

Trump continued his efforts to dismantle the Department of Education this week by moving two crucial offices into other federal agencies.

Why is he determined to gut education? It’s all part of his attack on not just what we do — but what we think. https://youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?si=IY6HM-j-sSmjVW3_

Trump is sending the DOJ to California to monitor the election.  His intentions are clear—he wants to suppress the vote.  And when we win, he will falsely lay claim to fraud.  We will not be intimidated.  California will defend free and fair elections.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Trump has ordered the US military to deploy to 19 US states to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein files. US troops ordered to stop crime and given no further instruction than to walk around trying to find it.

Bill Maher calls it a “slow-moving coup” and predicts Trump will use the army he’s amassing in D.C. to maintain power even if the Democrats win.

Trump’s tweets now just seem like boring less funny versions of Newsom’s imitations

Bomb Iran (1980)
YouTube video by Vince Vance & the Valiants - Topic Bomb Iran (1980)

It’s a serious time and I am worried.

That being said, does anyone else from GenX remember the alternate words to “Barbara Ann” circa 1980.

I hate to bring it up— but it’s also stuck in my head.

Stay safe everyone. Stay alert. Let’s hope Congress grows a spine.

MSNBC dug up the clip of former Trump Sec Def Mark Esper saying that Trump asked him in 2020 to shoot protesters -- an order Pete Hegseth wouldn't rule out following if Trump asked him to do it today

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU.

Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.
