The workers were forced out. The responsibility is not on the workers. This is due to the leadership using abusive tactics to traumatize workers.

They didn't lose their jobs. They were forced out to meet the #project2025 objectives.

Even the international community is warning that the U.S. is acting like an authoritarian state β€” not a rule-of-law democracy.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents. This is just the latest example. Everyone who cares about democracy and the rule of law needs to speak out loudly and clearly that this is wrong. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"β€ŠDonald Trump is the biggest threat to veterans alive today."

Trump fired tens of thousands from the VA who provide life-saving treatments to those who risked their lives for our country. They've even cut the VA suicide hotline β€” which veterans like Ronn rely upon.

Yet people stood by. With a flood of feeling; what was it? A hopelessness, guilt, shame about not doing anything.

Or inconvenience because their travel was more important.

When inconvenience becomes a bigger monster than injustice, they surrender to tyranny without a word.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Keir Starmer tries to look tough - and exposes himself as a coward The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

More cruelty is not the answer.

The Govt must end its dehumanising policies, introduce safe asylum routes & give asylum seekers the right to work.

While neither man is in jail, as they both should be, at least the UK took steps to penalize a child rapist, Prince Andrew, I mean, Mr. Windsor, whereas the United States continues to protect one, Donald Trump.

Waltz called out at the UN. The rhetoric this administration uses in the US won’t fly anywhere else still and that’s of some comfort. The entire world is being tested right now.

They're preparing for the pedophile's next coup, all while the military is going along with his plan to have the military oppress, or worse, the citizenry.

Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.

This seems rather badβ€” the Trump regime’s top officials are moving onto protected military bases.

Critics decry company created to rush power to Indiana data centers Northern Indiana Public Service Co. says the spinoff is needed to meet surging power demand. Others say it’s an excuse to bypass regulations that protect…

An Indiana gas and electric company is launching a spinoff specifically to provide massive amounts of energy to data centers.

The spinoff company is reportedly exempt from many of the regulations typically required before power plants can be built in the state.

More energy for AI data centers is like pumping arsenic into our society. The process is poisonous to every aspect of humanity.

The accelerated growth of AI will destabilize society, harm our environment and further concentrate wealth and power in hands of a few at the peril of humanity! SOS-USA!

Bill Gates is not the authority to declare climate change exist or not. You don't "win" on climate change until enough is done to reverse the increase of Earth temperature.

There is no point in the bill that has healthcare to undocumented immigrants. At no point did any republican show where on the bill it states that.

At no point did democrats lobby for healthcare to undocumented immigrants.

Please note what happened here. By challenging Trump to pause his terror raids for Halloween, Pritzker forced Kristi Noem to come out *for* continuing to traumatize kids. Polarizing these debates draws attention/forces MAGA depravity into the light.

The Pentagon announced more than 23,000 National Guard troops are being trained as "quick reaction forces."

They're preparing to use the military to silence dissent & frighten Americans.

Every single person should be against this gross misuse of power & waste of taxpayer dollars.
