Truth matters. Alternative facts are not facts. Misinformation is a euphemism for lies.

This is excellent. This is the kind of guidance needed in the face of a lawless regime.

Re: the positive impact of protests. It’s not about changing THEM. It’s about changing us. Sort of like prayer. I AM ANTIFA. RELEASE THE FILES.

There are people other than Bernie Sanders who are speaking out and drawing large crowds. If you take the time to look. Although it would certainly help if MSM paid as much attention to these rallies as they did to the convicted felon’s rallies.

“It is often said: When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. If that is true, then only weeks into Donald Trump’s four-year term, we are approaching tyranny.”

The felon’s performance yesterday was a scene straight out of The Godfather. Demanding that Zelensky kiss his ring and pay for protection. Or possibly A Christmas Story. The felon playing the role of Scott Farcus (So help me God - ORANGE SKIN!!) with his toadie Grover Dill, aka JD Vance.

Trump’s threats to NATO members add clarity to whether we can expect the U.S. to stay in NATO. We aren’t going to remain in NATO member if we use military force against NATO allies. Trump is a friend to our enemies & a threat to allies. #TFETA *These aren’t insane musings in a second Trump term.

If the 11th circuit overturns Cannon on the Jack Smith report, and Trump files for an emergency administrative stay with SCOTUS, guess which justice can issue the administrative stay unilaterally?

The Waltons don’t care. They will get their $$ no matter what. They will raise prices and cut expenses by pushing more of their employees to food stamps. Oh wait! Trump plans to cut that program. Higher prices, less income for the working poor - what could go wrong??!!

In the myriad lists of reasons why the Dems lost so badly, I never see Jaime Harrison’s name. He has been a total failure as Party chair. When is he going to be replaced? We need someone who has proven they can successfully organize and get out the blue vote. #staceyabramsfordempartychair

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive. This is what oligarchy looks like.
