YES! Trump is putting a target on our backs and we need to fear that more than what they might do to us. Besides, they can't arrest us all if millions of us turn up in his front yard. I live close enough that I could get to DC to march on the WH. Anyone else who doesn't, pick a supporter site.

And slur his words worse than anything Biden every did, yet, the news presenters just turn a blind eye.

This! I've been worried about how far things would have to get before we, the people, actually took things into our own hands. I should have been terrified because here we are, AT WAR, and losing billions of dollars to a war we didn't want and we still just talk. We need a national walk-out/protest.

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

I really dislike rich people and big corporations. They are ALL corrupt, soul and financially.

We've been under-reacting for too long...since 2016, really.

This is going to backfire on us because they will come after those who do it. We need a National Walk-Out where we just stop working, stop buying, and walk straight to DC or protest in front of those corporations that are supporting this regime (Amazon, Walmart, etc.) and disrupt their business.

Keep it up. No photographer should be taking "good looking" photos of anyone in this regime. They are evil and should look it.

March 11, 2026 In a brief call with Barak Ravid of Axios today, President Donald J.

This fucking idiot is going to bankrupt us and make us vulnerable to attack from other countries. When are we going to forcibly remove him from office in order to save ourselves? What will it take to get the people of this country to DO SOMETHING?

BREAKING NEWS: Reporter Calls Out Trump's Lie Directly To His Face Really American | Tuesday Morning, March 10, 2026

β€œYou just suggested that Iran got its hands on a U.S. Tomahawk and BOMBED ITS OWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL on the first day of the war.

You are the only person in your government saying this.

WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY PERSON SAYING THIS?”

Still one of my favorite songs, especially when I'm driving and can belt it out at the top of my lungs and not frighten anyone.

"Kiley says that going forward, he will β€œhave to consider” every bill β€œon its own merits.” As if we didn't already know that they were't considering anything on its merit, this statement proves it. They are only about themselves. No one else matters.

The pride and power of Iowa State basketball's Audi Crooks Audi Crooks hears the haters. But Iowa State's star inherited resilience from her mom and joy from her dad. Her high-scoring game is the ultimate counterpoint.

Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa State’s Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...
