Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

As you've read in many memes, a dictator will burn his country to the ground before he gives up power.

With all the losses and miscues happening in this administration from the disastrous tariffs to Epstein to Fema and on and on...

...we are at the burning down stage unless someone stops him.

‘Attacking the future of the party while Republicans strip every poor person of Medicaid in the middle of the night,’ by way of example, is not acceptable leadership. He's gonna have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

The extreme right-wing Christians who run the US govt...

Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no deal by Trump's trip Trump has effectively given Netanyahu a green light to do as he sees fit, Israeli officials say.

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride.

If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.

Too good not to repost.

Emily Rath writes contemporary why choose romance. Her hockey romances are massively successful. A few years ago she wrote a handful of HR Why Choose romances that I highly recommend if that’s your thing.

Oh, and she also has 2 PhD’s in political science & peace studies

The US is simultaneously gutting the agencies responsible for food safety AND throwing a hissy fit that other countries haven’t wanted meat, poultry, and dairy filled with precautionary antibiotics and artificial hormones

Are we going to want it now that the safety standards will be even lower?

"Owning the libs" will be the only thing MAGA supporters will "own" when Trump is done destroying America's economy.

Sharing Young Lion, Sade’s heartfelt tribute to her son, Izaak, and his journey as a trans man. It’s a powerful reminder of love and understanding.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility, You are seen, you are loved, and we stand with you—today and always.

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.
