Back in the 90s, big healthcare ran an ad to scare Americans into opposing health reform. It ended in a famous line: “When they choose, we lose.” As millions of Americans face health insurance price hikes with impossible deductibles, I visited Harry and Louise in 2025 to see what they think:

This is how RESISTANCE works. Bravo to the staff & editors of the Exponent, the student newspaper of Purdue University.

This gives me hope for the future

Realized that Bluesky has capitulated & placed age verification requirement for all members for DM usage in 25 US states requiring age verification data.

These laws are unconstitutional, they’re an infringement of our 1st Amendment rights and our rights to privacy.

Bkuesky - restore DM messaging.

Ohio is now interfering with my 1st Amend rights by limiting my access to sites like Blue-sky. I must submit personal info verifying my age, SS, address & State.

To Blue-sky, tell republican states to F-off. Suppression of free access to social media because it “might” have adult content is BS.

Just received my Senator’s response to my letter addressing the stupidity of Trump’s Tariffs.

Obliviously, judging from his response he’s drank the kool-aid.

Exactly, nothing from Trump or any of his minions. No mention of an award for the fast acting New Hope officer who prevented additional carnage by arriving at 2nd assassination attempt. Forcing the gunman to flee
Just maybe remember Melissa Hortman🙏, her husband Mark🙏, & their dog Gilbert🙏, along with John Hoffman who survived. They didn't get nearly the press I'm sure this will, no matter the outcome.

Have we seen enough slaughter of innocence yet? Have republicans seen enough to take semi-auto AR-style rifles off the streets yet?

57-school shooting in 2025.

High velocity bullets from AR-style rifles liquify a child’s internal organs.

For God sake, take these weapons off the street.

Today marks the anniversary of the Great Burn-off in East Palestine, Ohio. The citizens were MISINFORMED under Mike DeWine & OhGOP leadership - they lied to the people of East Palestine.

Research shows the cloud contained dioxin & PFAS & was spread across 16 US states.

Excellent article written by William Phillis in the Dayton Daily News. This is a must read

Trump will need to fire all truth-telling American Economists to cover for his upcoming inflation/recession

I wrote to both of Ohio Senators expressing my concerns about the Save Act suppressing voter rights & the need to vote against this unnecessary bill.

I’ve attached his reply which exhibits his strong distrust of his fellow citizens. His “show me your papers” is not thought through.

Florida’s concentration camp Alligator Alcatraz is estimated to cost Floridians $450-million. Since DeSantis is all about optics, I’m standing with Alt National Parks -

BOYCOTT VACATIONING IN FLORIDA or any of the Gulf States.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

This should scare the hell out of the hurricane coast residents. Similar cuts have been made in tornado alley. By gutting NOAA we are not safer. Demand restoration, call & write your representatives & Senators.

Demand Action
A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for.

Kudos, Sir.🌦️

Figures don’t lie, but (Republican) liars figure. Case in point 👇🏿

I remember one of the most gracious
Nursing Supervisors I ever worked with, Mrs Higoki. Borned in Hawaii to Japanese-American parents, imprisoned within an Internment Camp because of her heritage. Yet despite this she still believed in America.

Never Again, George. Now we fight 47 with the truth
I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

This must happen, we will need to strengthen our laws against grifters, those who scheme in gray areas of the law. Presidents are NOT above the law must be the first law, codified as an amendment to our Constitution.

"Only fools or kremlin tools" is a nice little rhyme that benefits from being the truth.

My feeling exactly. America does not abandon Ukrainian freedom fighters.

Please read & forward. Then call & email your House & Senate Representatives. Tell them America doesn’t run

I was looking over a listing of words “outlawed” during 47’s republican Administration.

In the novel 1984 Winston is at lunch with Syme, a specialist in Newspeak, said about his work “We’re destroying words-scores of them, hundreds of them, every day. We’re cutting the language down to the bone.”
