Is your post more of a narrative or damning fact? Journalism has taken a serious hit from the Tik-Tok moment we live in. But there are many non-fiction books being printed that give narratives. We live in a golden age of narrative bio and history.

RFK is insane. Trump is a thief who covers his escape with clouds of hate, racism, transphobia, misogyny.

The Measles vaccine has 60 years of safety and efficacy data and was tested in a placebo controlled trial. Sec Kennedy consistently misstates the facts about this vaccine.

There are many reasons we're here in fascism, but one of the biggest is that nearly all members of the media have spent the last ten years not asking Donald Trump a follow-up question.

Today marks the 77th anniversary of Nakba Day, commemorating the displacement of 700,000+ Palestinians in the events surrounding the establishment of Israel in 1948.

This anniversary is taking place amid ongoing widespread Israeli atrocities and mass displacement of Palestinians.

This project in Serbia, slated to be built as a result of concession by gov of Serbia, is one of at least four Trump projects that involve foreign governments: Oman, United Arab Emirates & Qatar also. A US commander in chief as he and family are profit-seeking foreign government deal makers

Kushner Deal in Serbia Follows Earlier Interest by Trump (Gift Article) More than a decade ago, before running for president, Donald Trump expressed interest in developing the same site in Belgrade that his son-in-law now plans to invest $500 million in rebuilding.

This site where the Trump International Hotel is slated to be built is the exact location that Donald J. Trump first proposed building a hotel before he was first elected president.

Sen. Jon Ossoff has signaled support for impeaching Trump.

On Trump's meme coin last week: β€œWhen the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him, there is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense."

I saw a post today in favor of #defunding the police and #abolition. I'm for total reform of the police. But defunding and abolition are dead pieces of rhetoric that will only help the fascists maintain power. The advocates don't mean no police, no prisons; so they have to drop the words.

People didn't vote for Trump because of ignorance. They voted for him because of prejudice against immigrants and the poor. Many of them are poor themselves.

Donald Trump is threatening the very fiber of our democracy.

He is not a king.

We can and will hold him accountable, here in Maryland and across our nation.

Donald Trump’s first 100 days as president have been 100 days from hell for the American people.

His first 100 days have been the worst for any president in modern history.
