Heavy on the pro-democracy and pro-justice posts these days with so much at stake. Also post artwork (collage, assemblage, leaded glass), photos I like, nature, animals, astronomy images, and examples of kindness. No DMs or chats

I wish the Brazilian Way, were the American Way.

If so, we wouldn’t be here.

Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people, how much does it cost for fascism? How much do the taxpayers have to pay for a fascist country?

Musk has admitted that he and Trump plan to collapse the U.S. economy completely and that if Trump wins, USians should prepare for hardship.

The plan requires millions to sink into poverty, food insecurity, and be preyed upon by organized crime, addiction, and corporations.

Just a reminder that Donald Trump, Musk, and their regressive inner circle have been plotting to engineer a Great Depression for years now. When you have trouble affording rent, food, or your local economy starts to collapse, remember, someone did this on purpose to you. #3E

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting—which distributes federal funds to provide essential information to communities across the country—is shutting down after Trump and Republicans eliminated funding for public media like NPR and PBS.

What a disgrace.

What those in power have forgotten is that we the people don’t have to accept this. America was founded on resistance. It’s time we remind them of that.

Show up. Speak out. Resist the Regime 8/2

Gov. Newsom of California could call for a special election this Nov. 4 to get around the Redistricting Commission!!

We need Republicans to know not to mess with us again!!

'Alligator Alcatraz' detainees on hunger strike for 10th day, protesting conditions One of the detainees, Pedro Hernández, was hospitalized during the strike but continued to refuse food, he said on Thursday.

“A hunger strike at a South Florida immigration detention center state officials have named “Alligator Alcatraz” has entered its tenth day, as detainees protest what they call inhumane and dangerous living conditions.”

I appreciate the bravery of these people. If MSM would get off their greedy, profit-driven asses and actually start reporting this, things would change much quicker in America. We will all be watching when the Trump fascist regime and ICE are prosecuted at the Hague for crimes against humanity!
