I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

It's worse than that. 47 has forfeited his authority and office by violating provisions of the Constitution and accordingly should not be recognised as the President any longer 😡

The released Palestinian prisoner, Mahmoud Abu Foul, 28 years old, was subjected to severe torture with iron rods and electric shocks in Israeli torture camps, which caused him to lose one leg and both eyes.

A crime that the whole world must see.

A federal judge in San Francisco has HALTED Trump’s plan to lay off thousands of federal workers during his shutdown, calling it “unlawful” and “politically motivated.” Judge Illston said Trump acted as if “the laws don’t apply to them anymore.”

It's not fair for Don Winslow to state the people of Alaska voted for 47. He's inferring every Alaskan did so. That is not accurate. Respectfully, in a time when so many lie with a casual ease that defies basic human decency It's more important than ever to choose accurate and honest wording 🥺

Just continuously reminding myself, and out loud here in case it's of any help to others, that bravery is not the absence of fear but rather a determination to act despite fear.

Only 10 out of 1,000 deportations in Chicago by ICE were men who were the worst of the worst. 990 out of 1,000 men had no contact with law enforcement in their lives but were still deported. These were actually the best of the best that we deported in my book. 998 men with no prior police contact.
