So this happened: The White House is now asking states to pass laws legalizing death by firesquad & gas chamber. Does this remind you of anything? Every single American needs to be alarmed and calling senators & reps from both parties, regularly! #ICEoffOurStreets Abolish ICE

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 28/08/2025
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
Post from Donald Trump on Truth Social:

A really deadly weekend in Chicago. 6 dead, 27 hurt in crime sprees all over the city. Panic stricken Governor Pritzker says that crime is under control, when in fact it is just the opposite. He is an incompetent governor who should call me for help. Mayor Johnson is no better. Make Chicago great again!

My son came home from his second day of school this year to see news coverage of the Minnesota school shooting. His reply was so simple and so out of reach. "They should just make a law that people can't have guns, why can't they just do that?" - Jack, age 11 We have failed our children so deeply.

Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

Rebrand Trump’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ as ‘Alligator Auschwitz’, take control of the narrative, don't let the fascists define themselves and drive home that this is nothing less than a concentration camp. #3E #EndImpunity #StopICE

When Trump and Musk tout how much money they're saving by gutting cancer research and Social Security services, know this: Their IRS cuts will cost $500 billion in tax revenue just this year. That's more than half the Defense budget. None of their destruction is actually about saving money.
Trump and Musk want to shrink the government by fiat without regard to who and what they hurt.
