Everyone thinks the Statue of Liberty is hiding her face in shame. I think her💔 is broken. I think she sobs for us. Liberty is more thn a statue,she is the embodiment of everything good this country once tried to stand for. Her cries of anguish;her tears of pain reflect what all good ppl shld feel.

I'm 81 years old. Not all of us older people have a problem with holding on to the past. Try not to paint with such a wide brush. Thank you

While some of these "media" outlets shouldn't even exist, I'm glad that they are doing this. It slows down Project 2025 even more.

Have you checked the progress of the Christian nationalist plan to take over the U.S. recently?
Here's the link-

Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”

Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

I sense a pardon on its way.

A tweet by Jacob Shamsian reads: “The Wall Street Journal reports that Ghislaine Maxwell had a meeting with an unknown person in her new prison camp, during which the entire prison was on lockdown. Inmates say she’s getting unusually favorable treatment by the prison.”

The Establishment Democratic Party can only be replaced by people who are willing to step up run for offices who are not 70+ years old.

Graham Platner is the future of Maine. Janet Mills is the past. It is up to #Maine to realize their future is in danger if it is rooted and directed by the past.

We all want Karma to give to us immediately. Karma waits until it is the "right time" to unfold. I find it interesting that the Supreme Court didn't rubber stamp Donald Trump.

Dwight D. Eisenhower was born in 1890 on this date. He went on to become the Supreme Allied Commander in World War II in the European theater. Then, because he felt he still needed to give to the country he loved, he became President of the United States. He was the last Republican I trusted.

Ex of wht dictatorships do to isolate their constituencies: Venezuela has closed its embassy in Norway just days after the Nobel Committee revealed the Peace prize going to the opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. A small dictator, a small man can't handle that a woman received the Nobel.

This coming Saturday is going to be a litmus test on how committed we are to actually getting rid of Donald Trump. 50 million people in the streets. That's what I want to see; 50 million people.

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. nokings.org
