WHY did Trump go to war with Iran?
Not nuclear capabilities. Not compassion.
He’s pissed.
Authoritarian regimes need society — the realm of people & organizations outside government control — to acquiesce to their rule…and we ARE NOT compliant to Trump’s rule.

Imagine you worked for a corp that could force 12-hour shifts, pay your salary in gift cards, split your vacation whenever they want, take your severance from your 401k, & make you negotiate wages alone against their lawyers That's Argentina's labor bill. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #ProudBlue #USDemocracy

No wonder food prices are high…more than half are tariffed.

Our neighbors Mexico & Canada supply nearly half of U.S. food imports & are subject to tariffs of up to 50% on some goods.
Trump’s obsession with tariffs hurts American consumers.

Nothing puts FEAR in authoritarian regimes more people standing together, speaking up loudly, choosing empathy and courage, refusing to be afraid, challenging aggression peacefully.

“Strength in community…” Empowered.

GOP take note….Sometimes political courage means not just bucking your own party but also going against the trends of the day or the approval of “your people”.

A lesson from the past.
Our present “Active Power” has clearly shown his face.

When a president talks about skipping elections and floating an unconstitutional 3rd term, it’s not hard to see what this is and what it isn’t.

Seizing election material in a state that already counted the 2020 results three separate times isn’t about election integrity.

It’s about preparation.

Oh no. He will be hauled in front of multiple congressional committees multiple times. Don’t forget to thank James Comer for establishing the precedent.

Donald Trump Is Frightened Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

Trump Lied Again

The fake “de-escalatory measures” are intended to fool Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.

Senate Democrats Fell For It Again

Trump rejects a legacy of his predecessors, to serve all Americans…instead a state’s access to federal aid or federal benefits is a function of its partisan allegiance…no matter the circumstances. Parts of Texas and Florida should be flooded with ICE, but are not.

The presidency is a national office, yet the #TrumpRegime sees huge numbers of Americans not as friends, but as enemies. It loves to divide Americans & sort them according to hierarchies of status: Rich white men, favored & entitled. The rest of us are peons.

It’s hard because of constant craziness…
Nationalized elections
Immigration enforcement
Disregard for laws, Constitution, human rights, subpoenas, climate, science, medicine, education, healthcare.
BUT. MIDTERMS. ARE. COMING.
Make your vote count.

In the existing Trump Regime, immigration policy is dictated by rigid ideologues…to change the radical paramilitary aggression we are witnessing now in American cities, there must be a regime change.

Simply shifting leadership within does NOTHING!

ORDER POPCORN!

Jack Smith will be testifying publicly on Thursday about the investigation into Trump and the January 6th insurrection.

📺 Make sure to clear your schedules.

You can find it on PBS NewsHour, C-Span, YouTube and other channels.

The Trump Regime is occupying Blue MN with 3,000 ICE Agents

Based on that and these numbers below, The Regime should have deployed more than 85,000 ICE Agents to Red FL & TX

That hasn't happened

This is REVENGE, RETRIBUTION, INTIMIDATION

As a veteran of the United States Navy, I used to smile when my son hinted at wanting to join the military. He graduates next year. He's going to a trade school. He's not going to be used as a pawn in threats or potential attacks on our allies. I support him...fully.

#MLK 1956…”We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity. Leaders whom the fog of life cannot chill, men whom the lust of office cannot buy. Leaders who have honor, leaders who will not lie”

This is so pertinent!

This is so crazy to me.

The same guy who still rampages on about Biden, autopens and being able to pass 3 cognitive tests, who drools over being in the spotlight — gave permission for commercials to be made with AI using his voice…

Nothing to see here, folks 😬

Alabama uses Japanese American Internment era law to charge immigrants who don’t self-register Alabama is finding new ways to criminally charge undocumented immigrants

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder.

" Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..."

Putin has wanted to disrupt NATO for a long, long time.

Trump’s aggressive tone towards Greenland (via Denmark, a NATO founding member) isn’t just about resources, do you think?
