Is dementia spreading in the Trump Administration?

I agree that all those who served deserve our deep respect, and we should not have to endure the Trump Gestapo targeting us, their ancestors, because we don't believe in Trump's brand of fascism.

If you bring a phone to the 10-18 - No Kings protest, consider using a clean burner phone. ICE can use your biometrics to open your cell phone and search it. So, if you bring a phone, consider turning off biometrics.

ICE may try to hack your phone at a protest. Here's what you need to know.

Many of us are proud descendants of the original Antifa. We should all honor their valiant service. Their sacrifices saved the world from the NAZI invasion to preserve democracy in Europe.

Early member of Antifa buried w/ his aircraft as his shipmates bid him farewell. Loyce Edward Deen of OK was naval aerial gunner on TBF Avenger Torpedo Boat, USS Essex. Killed during Manila Bay raid 1944, he gave his life at 23 so WE could live free😢
Honor him, protest to protect freedom🫡

Law is complicated. Lay people often don't understand how it works. Jack Smith clearly explains why what the Trump DOJ is doing to seek vengeance on his opponents is wrong.

• Overhaul of the Criminal Investigation Division by installing Trump loyalists.
• Targeting non-profit groups.
• Investigating left-leaning groups and donors.
• Crackdown on "left-wing alleged violence."

Young members in an organization often repeat what they hear their leaders say, so it is no suprise to me that JD Vance has no problem with the NAZI lover in the Trump administration. But these people are not "kids". They're young adults, some in their 30s-40s. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Stress isn’t always a bad thing; it can be handy for a burst of extra energy and focus, like when you’re playing a competitive sport or have to speak in public. But when it’s continuous, it actually begins to change your brain. #stress #brainhealth #health #energy

Republicans are cutting Medicare by $500 billion.

They're doubling and tripling health premiums.

And now, they want to hike the retirement age: "62 is the new 42."

Our seniors shouldn't have to work into their 80s to pay for billionaires' tax cuts.

I believe that if there is a god, there is a piece of that God in each of us, and depending on our actions, we can increase that force or diminish it, if it is there, which I don't really know. This means if we want god to act, we must act.

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

Maybe not for this election. So many people are completely disgusted with the GOP.

Yep, this is exactly why I posted nothing on my timeline. They are responding according to my expectations. Anyone who believed any different result would occur is naive, in my opinion. But I understand the desperation of the many people who wanted to believe them.

If the US Supreme Court overturns the Voting Act's Section 2 — a provision that bans racial discrimination in voting — GOP-controlled states could redraw at least 19 more voting districts for the House of Representatives in favor of Republicans, according to a recent report.

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.

LA County officials approve emergency declaration over immigration raids

The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on immigrants.
