I believe in adult supervision in government. Democracy can't be just a hobby. It must be our vocation. We need to find our way again. Support TRUTH, not propaganda. MAGA is fascism and hate disguised as patriotism. 💙

Hegseth has undermined the armed services, making us vulnerable to attack. RFK Jr. has gutted public health, making us vulnerable to disease and another pandemic. Trump has destroyed our financial guardrails, making us vulnerable to an economic collapse. See a pattern yet?

This is just one of the many "No Kings" protests across America today. The people included Democrats, Republicans and Independents. They were not paid protestors. Never have the American people despised a president so much and so deservedly. God bless these patriots!

March 28th must be the biggest "No Kings" protest. We must send the strongest possible message to Trump and those MAGA-Nazis!

Elon Musk's greedy and toxic algorithms have destroyed Twitter/X for users. Only people wiling to pay into Musk's toxic club can use it to any effect. (Sounds anti-free speech to me.) #DitchX

I have no sympathy for the fascist leaders of Iran. But let's be honest, the attack on Iran was triggered by Trump's need to distract from the Epstein files. #EndFuhrerTrumpNOW

Trump threatened to withhold infrastructure from America unless they rename Penn Station and Dulles Airport after him. He's putting his ego over the welfare of the country. So, just another Tuesday in Trump World. #EndFuhrerTrumpNOW

Bought this out of a vending machine today. Once opened, it smelled like the worst toxic waste I've ever smelled. I tasted the chips and immediately spit it out. Disgusting chemical taste. How could they sell this toxic crap? #CommunitySnacks

Hearing from my friends on "X." Even the non-political people are finding the algorithm anti-user and the content toxic.

MAGA Facts: Citizens have been executed in the street. Journalists have been arrested. Trump is talking about cancelling elections. Sounds like the Fourth Reich to me! #EndFuhrerTrumpNOW

Trump is using ICE to trigger violence because he wants to activate the Insurrection Act. This will be a pretext to undermine the upcoming elections. He's playing the MAGA-Nazi long game. #EndFuhrerTrumpNOW

Trump has threatened Fed. Chair Jerome Powell with legal prosecution for not bending to Trump's will. The financial markets have dropped, knowing that Führer Trump might directly control the Federal Reserve. When will people wake up? The market is starting to. #EndFuhrerTrumpNOW

Tonight's Trump speech was unhinged and scary. So filled with delusions, lies and panic. I'm betting the stock market will drop tomorrow. Please invoke the 25th Amendment!

If the 25th amendment were triggered by any objective metric of presidential insanity or unfitness, Trump would have been launched out of the White House ten seconds into tonight’s speech. Or 11 months ago. Or daily since.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days. They have worked 12 days in 3 months. Epstein Shutdown.

Please stop calling Trump's supporters "Nazis." They are "MAGA-Nazis." We don't want to confuse future historians.

Now to frighten the new generation: Put them in a room with a rotary phone, an analog watch, and a TV with no remote.
