Don’t know who else needs to hear this but it would be good to have a strong showing of American Flags at the rallies on Saturday to combat the GOP talking points that it’s a “hate America” rally!!

Please repost and pass this on to as many as possible!!

The ICE agents are really out over their skis....they have no probable cause to go after most of these people.
The apartment house that they trashed and put people & children out on the street ended up with two arrests.

How much did your 'wealth' increase by? 🤔
#Inequality

According to a June 2025 report by Oxfam, the world's richest 1% have increased their wealth by more than $33.9 trillion in real terms since 2015.

Let's say that again:
Over $33,900,000,000,000.
On top of what they already had.

What the hell is a "Democrat" program?? Does that mean that it only serves Democrats? How do they figure that out? Do they care if they hurt Republicans while closing "Democrat" programs?

Wait until Saturday, they will really make their presence known.
This city will not go quietly, and the world will see what happens

The Los Angeles model…

He lacks the ability to do anything more than pat himself on the back for the "great job" he did. It would be nice if it were true, but like most things he does it's just a masquerade.

Can we just wrap RFK in "plastic" (god forbid) and send him somewhere? Anywhere? Everything in the world is going to kill us sooner or later, but he'd rather focus on everyday stuff instead of CANCER or other serious disease problems.
Is there still a worm in the brain?

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

THE SUPREME COURT IS ABOUT TO GUT VOTING RIGHTS FOR THE FEDERALIST HERITAGE OLIGARCHY WHO OWN THEM AND BRIBE THEM.

THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT IS AN INTERNATIONAL JOKE AND AMERICAN HORROR STORY.

Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.

That is the question on many lips today. Why bail out Argentina? Today they increased the money promised . Instead of 20 billion they have an adjacent 20 billion. That makes 40 Billion - that would pay for Medicaid or Food stamps and WIC, or other programs he has killed.

This administration has gone on a tirade against China because they stopped buying soybeans from American farmers. Is it possible that China stopped buying because he put more 100% tariffs on them? Now they can buy cheaper from - wait for it-Argentina. Because we helped Argentina. Not good at math

Now the fine administration that got elected has used the government shutdown to stop MEDICARE payments to doctors.
It's all because those terrible Democrats refusing to fund a budget that has health care provisions for the ACA in it.
Dems think people should have affordable health insurance.
