We have been warned about this moment for all our lives. Now it's here. What will you do about it?

Governor Phil Murphy just stated he is considering redistricting NEW JERSEY to counteract Texas!

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

Is the US military poised to experience a new surge in conscientious objectors? For troops experiencing ethical dilemmas, following one's conscience can be costly.

Hotline callers were saying, “I do not want to be part of pointing a gun at US citizens and maybe shooting it.”

Interesting to see supposed climate change activist Leonardo DiCaprio at Bezos' vulgar wedding.

Worth remembering stuff like that when we are expected to take celebrities and their causes seriously. It's only ever about optics.

If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it.

Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.

I can tell you that NONE of my Florida neighbors are happy about this.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode deficits

3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

2 killed in Idaho after firefighters ambushed by gunfire, suspected gunman found dead: Sheriff Firefighters were ambushed by a gunman while responding to a brush fire in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on Sunday, according to the local sheriff's office.

Of course it happened in Coeur d'Alene.
They're investigating if the fire was intentionally set to lure firefighters to the area to ambush them. I can bet you w a 99.9 percent certainty that it wasn't AntiFa who did this.

The US supreme court has ruled that schools must give children the chance to opt out on faith grounds from listening to storybooks that feature gay and transgender characters, in a landmark decision that will be seen as a win for religious rights in education.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.

Bush, Obama and Bono Commend USAID Staff Members on Their Last Day

I just don't understand this. George W Bush, Barack Obama, and Bono just recorded videos commending the staff of USAID for their work and lamenting the agency's destruction...

And those videos were not released to the public.

Protestors were standing peacefully in front of the federal building in downtown LA and police just pushed them with flash bangs and horses. The poor frightened horses. Unnecessary and disgusting.

Rep. Melissa Hortman, killed in targeted attack, was a champion for Minnesotan families Hortman worked closely with Gov. Tim Walz to enact policies that prioritized children and expanded protections for abortion and gender-affirming care

When Tim Walz became Kamala Harris's running mate, progressives highlighted policies passed. It could not have been possible without Melissa Hortman.

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand.

Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.
