I’m older, wiser & know a treasonous autocrat when I hear one. Remember, we lost a battle, not the war. I’m still shocked by the hate, racism & religious hypocrisy in the USA. Stay informed, RESIST, but take a break to listen to music & smell the 🌹 too. 💙

Yes, Christian Nationalists, we know that the United States was founded on the principle that Christianity is a precondition of freedom because of how many times the Constitution mentions Jesus. ZERO TIMES.

I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I'm starting to think the guy banning books and closing the museums, snatching people off the streets and throwing them into gulags without due process, deploying the army against American citizens in their own cities, openly rigging the elections and the courts, cozying up to our enemies, extorting business, and using the office to enrich himself maybe isn't the good guy here.

I feel it & see it too. A rising tide of urgency, yet hope also, from diverse peoples from diverse communities. Trump has gone way too far beyond the law & Constitution. We need to get to the 2026 elections without more of a takeover. What happened to states rights? The sucking sound 👂 = grift

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.
