I am going to be homeless if I can't get some money to pay my taxes. I jhave never begged. I just need a little help to get back on course.
$5, $10 or $20, the cost of a meal to most, would help me a lot.

Subtle & some not so threating gestures by revengeful agitator bullying malignant narcissist determined to destroy democracy just to prove he can. Never did a positive thing his entire life that didn't somehow benefit him first. Too bad APA shut down professional mental health experts DUTY TO WARN

Lving in the reverse world of MAGA GOP MADNESS. Small group of self designated elites think that they can force their authoritarian rule on majority of US population WRONG! Delusional in power thru transactional trade offs & other less than righteous methods. Psychopaths. RESIST PROTEST peacefully

It's tough putting a LIKE to a photo of graves. It is a powerful reminder of sacrifice. Do understand . Am 79 yo.

They did their duty. Sadly as time has passed those not involved take for granted what others before them have given. May we rise to the occasion now with peaceful protest & in some small way preserve & do what we can to save our democracy.

Don't understand your response? Elaborate. US fought against Germany. In both WW & died to stop it? Perhaps the idea of fascism many not have been the word that was used. But none the less their sacrifices were to rid the world of the concept now called that. Corp greed is a problem. semantics?

Transactual Trump never does anything where he doesn't think he will benefit. The consummate grifter taking the USA for all he can get. People fell for his con. Too many agreed & too few cared to pay attention. Now we must fight peacefully through protests to save our democracy. Resist ✊✊

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Resist peacefully. What's coming from the current government regime looks & acts like fascism. Protesting over that form of governance is what our ancestors fought & died for. Don't disgrace their sacrifices by being complacent & submissive to a wannabe dictator. We will prevail. NO KING No tyranny

Yes. Honest moral ethical majority of US population want to continue to live in a democracy that abides by the Rule of Law & US CONSTITUTION. We are many more than those few who transacted & used less than righteous methods to get into power. We will prevail when we show our strength in numbers ✊✊✊

Neguse: "What Trump is attempting to do is create a perception that he has all the power & create a sense of hopelessness or helplessness in the public. We've gotta resist the temptation. He's electorally unpopular. In fact, the most unpopular POTUS at this juncture than any modern POTUS in history"

Guy definitely never learned to play nice with others. Everything is a contest thinks he has to win. His paper tiger Strongman persona where his only tactic is threats is destroying the US economy. What a ignorant now addled brained cognitively impaired old fool. Too bad he commands big military

79 old too but with you on how & who should be leading Dems. Think smart enough to know that the oldies must let the governing to those whose world it will be. Oldies had their time. Must support younger gens not hinder those who understand the world they will be living in.
