The HANDS OFF! protest in Kingston, NY on a cold and rainy April 5th drew a good 2000 from 2 to 82, at least. It's great that people came out all over the country no matter the weather. Let's keep it up until the convicted felon is gone for good!

Trump is perverted and crazy. Anyone who continues to serve in his administration or to enable it through legislation is too. Remove him from office or live in infamy forevermore.

There is no other way to understand this. Trump is corrupt and so are the billionaires who control American corporations and, because of Citizen's United, government, too. We the people are the only ones who can stop this. Force Republicans out of Congress and off the Supreme Court.

Some hard truths that Dems & the people need to reckon with. Many Dems are living in the past. While we all want civil political discourse, many of us realize that MAGA does not. It's a death cult that is willing to destroy everything in order to get its way. Funny thing is the Rs know it, too.

Tim Walz talking about why he is touring these town halls across America. "I heard the primal scream of Americans saying god dammit it, do something, do something about this." Listen to the first 10 minutes at least for a bit of inspiration and hope. He's a straight talker and he's passionate.

If this premise is correct, then we are near a state of anarchy where no laws will apply. It's getting harder to believe that our political leaders are up to the job, so that leaves it to the people. Dangerous times, indeed. The bottom line is that Trump must be removed from office now.

Working people, including immigrants, are not the problem. The problem is the billionaires who vacuum up the wealth created by working people. Guaranteeing a living wage and life sustaining services like healthcare and education will make the economy soar.

Rep. Katherine Clark gives a summary of Trump's essential failures. Items 1 & 2 show his failure to deliver on his promises or, as we call them when spoken by Trump, his lies. Items 3,4 & 5 are each cause for impeachment. It's time for him to go.

Trump and Project 2025 are like a bulldozer, indiscriminately destroying institutions and cultural foundations like the rule of law and common decency. According to MAGA, all who disagree are vile enemies. We are in great peril and the world is watching. If we don't stop this madness, we will fall.

Note that not a single Republican signed this letter of principle stating fealty to the rule of law. Why? Whether due to cowardice or to a genuine disdain for our Constitution, not one of them is fit to serve the people of their state. If they affirm that disrespect, then they should be disbarred.

Trump is a racist. Period. The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable starting from his days as a NYC landlord in the 70s. Voting for him is the modern equivalent of supporting George Wallace. At least Wallace was honest about it.

Here's the revealing thing about this story. They know these guys screwed up, but in their childish minds they think firing them would show weakness. In fact, acting decisively to secure our national defense by replacing the incompetent actors would be how to show strength. Trump is a pathetic boy.
