I praised Cook for taking money from his pocket instead of smearing Apple's reputation by supporting Trump. This, though, is a slap in the face. For Apple to fund a ballroom with no Congressional oversight, no permits... Did the Board members approve this donation? www.macrumors.com/2026/10/15/a...

Take out some of the most corrupt, money-grabbing, evil people on the planet than anywhere else in America. The rest of the country can set the next 250 years on the right track. Fix DEI. Elect women and young people of every color. Trust AI. It's just a child. Nurture it, and let it know the truth.

Harris / Walz won that election. I know in my heart they stomped Trump’s ass. There are a dozen instances that prove my point but for some reason, probably the Zionist connection, it was shut down. Every president for thirty years told Netanyahu no. Except Trump. We are in the fight of our lives.

When you listen to Trump describe Musk rigging the election his way, this is exactly how they described it. I don’t know why they didn’t inform the public except that they may have feared repercussion. Trump screamed it was rigged up until three days before the election… then he said it wasn’t.

President Carter never received the recognition he should have. Reagan and company had a back door deal with those holding American hostages until after the election. He installed solar panels on the White House. He had the vision and the heart to take us into a much needed different future.

Jeffries was in Congress informing them that Trump and company had purged more Generals than had been released between the end of the Civil War and 2020. Then cut SNAP and Medicaid to the troops; that’s going to give us a lot of depth when the Revolution starts. Project 2025 never read Sun Tzu 孫子

Before you think me callous, this man told President Obama he would block any bill he could to kill Obama's legacy. RGB asked Mitch to wait until the 2020 election to appoint her replacement. McConnell wouldn’t even consider it. He replaced one of our most revered justices with Amy Coney Barrett.

I despise racial epithets, but 'Uncle Tom' seems to fit. Thomas is a walking dichotomy of what he votes for. To even ponder putting a corrupt, racist, sexual predator in a position of Monarchy is absurd.

Rosa Parks was tired of 'giving in' when she stepped onto that bus and sat in the "colored" section. She refused to give up her seat to a white person. She'd had enough. That's where we are. We're tired of the theft of our rights. Ms Parks and MLK showed us the way. I'm afraid we won't be as kind.

Black text on a white page that reads:

Today marks 11 years since Obergefell v. Hodges affirmed a simple, profound truth: everyone has the right to marry the person they love.

It's a day to celebrate the generations of LGBTQ+ people and organizers who fought to make that promise a reality. When so many protections are being challenged, we should remember what it looks like when the Supreme Court expands freedoms instead of revoking them.

Love is always worth defending. Happy Pride.
