Powerful story about the mistreatment of the Haitian immigrants in my hometown of Springfield, Ohio. We can’t look away from this

Surely none of y’all believe we attacked Iran because they are on the verge of a nuclear weapon. Those of us over 25 have seen this movie before. Don’t fall for it

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

I hope every elected official, business owner, university president, and media executive sees the millions of people out in the streets today and understands: If we fight back, this is the power on our side.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

Every night @maddow.msnbc.com has a first segment that runs through protests and town halls held in last 24 hrs and if you are feeling like nobody is feeling like you feel or you don’t know what to do: start by watching these and then find your people in your area. They are everywhere.

One of the most striking and consistent threads in Trump’s political career has been his utter contempt for military veterans. What they’re doing to the VA is shameful. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/u...

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history
