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!!

I wouldn't count on it. They just need to terrify ONE Republican into withdrawing his or her support. Or worse, keep her locked out of office until some right-wing nut-job decides to take matters into his own hands and guns down someone (D or R) who has agreed to sign....

Make that $40 Billion. Now we know where the tariff money is going cause it sure as heck isn't being used to bring down the price of groceries...

Uhm... while we're looking into who is bussing people in to protests, how about we start with who bussed people into Washington DC for the Jan 6th protests that actually DID turn violent? And far more than just a hothead of two tossing a rock or waterbottle.

It's been a fact of my entire working life, but I can't for the life of me understand why open, explicitly partisan gerrymandering is legal in the first place

Here's what this is, to put it bluntly: the Speaker of the House attempting to provoke violence against patriotic Americans for exercising their right to peacefully speak up for the Constitution and against a would be tyrant.

We need ads on TV too. Many Americans no longer read daily newspapers.

Furthermore, while Young Republicans is a group for people as young as 18, these were NOT random members. They were the group's LEADERS. I suspect most were at least 30 years old and would bet my last dollar that none were under age 25. Those aren't "kids." They are adults.

Yes, many of the world's govt's (i.e. those currently in power) ARE afraid of Trump and won't challenge him. But the PEOPLE of the world are speaking out against Trump. And their leaders will ultimately turn on Trump b/c the only thing they're more scared of than Trump is their own citizens.

Sadly, the Federal Government under Trump is now doing everything that his memo says is indicative of domestic terrorism.

They are TERRIFIED of just how many people are going to show up for a No Kings demonstration. They're hoping that by falsely labeling them as somehow "domestic terrorism," they'll frighten people away from attending so they can then claim that "most" Americans support the regime. We DON'T.

I think it was more like 14 months later (Aug 2024 to October 2025) but, except for that subtration error, this sounds correct.

Dear Donald. Of course it's an economically hostile act. What did you expect when you started your tariff wars? Did you expect other countries to swallow YOUR econimically hostile acts and not retalliate in kind?
