Bernie is right. This is a story about 100 Billionaires trying to take over the world, starting wars, spreading misinformation, using their power to intimidate the vulnerable. If we let them, they will leave us all with nothing.
FIGHT. If just 1% of Americans would protest, it would be enough!!

MEMPHIS — @GovBillLee claims their occupying force arrested 850 “VIOLENT CRIMINALS”

Buuuut mayor @LeeHarrisfor901 says the highest category is “IMMIGRATION/ADMINISTRATIVE”🤔

🚨 One Lee is lying!🚨(HINT: IT’S BILL. We saw the numbers.)

And yes, they are racially profiling👇🏽

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

They are now saying the quiet parts out loud. We can not accept their unconstitutional and immoral behaviors. Show up at your local No Kings Day on 10/18. Bring a friend who is new to protesting! Let’s make our collective voices heard! Www.nokings.org

So much truth. Our bodies are not equipped to live in a constant “fight or flight” state. It literally causes disease.

The government is shut down. They’re saying we can’t have health insurance, and there’s not enough money to pay our military or to continue SNAP for hungry families, but they are giving Argentina $20 billion. They are giving our tax money to Argentina.

Trump to welcome Argentina's President Milei as US extends $20 billion lifeline

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Haley Robson, a survivor of Epstein’s abuse — and a Trump voter — asked Speaker Johnson if he’s keeping the House out of session to delay Rep. Thomas Massie & my bill to release the files. She hasn’t gotten a response.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about justice for survivors.

He's cutting services to Americans left and right, and sending a fortune to his pal in Argentina & other personal allies. He deserves being impeached & convicted of a laundry list of crimes, but the MAGA 6 Justices resolutely look the other way. #ProudBlue

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 21h

“What’s the benefit for 🇺🇸 in sending $20 BILLION to Argentina?”🤔

Trump says he just really likes their philosophy and will only send the $20 Billion if his pal Milei wins.

Imagine not being able to see this blatant corruption for what it is. (While our farmers struggle)

Again, Trump had the power to unilaterally deploy the DC National Guard on January 6th - he did not need permission from anyone. He didn’t do so.

For example, he did deploy the DC Guard as part of his fake emergency in the city this year.

ANTIFA is not an organization or Terrorist Group, it means Anti-Fascists which is not headed by any person or funded. On the contrary MAGA White Evangelical Nationalist is a National Org. led by Trump & several Leaders of various factions including the Republican Party. There's no difference.

Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump can find $20b to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about how we address the healthcare crisis that they've created."

W/o Congress approval or, in fact any specific reason, Trump promised a $20B foreign bailout that he admits wouldn't primarily serve American interests, ignores his “America First” motto, & tests the patience of US farmers who have yet to receive their own relief from Trump’s trade war. #ProudBlue
