"Pablo" is picking oranges in Woodlake, CA. He shares, "We fill around 5 bins in a 6 hour work day. The work is very hard on the bodies as they have to go up and down a 16 foot ladder while carrying a sack of oranges that weighs 60lbs-80 lbs." #WeFeedYou

…or horrified by the blatant capitulation of mainstream media, law firms, corporations & academic institutions

…or simply fed up with the constant gaslighting, the daily assault on rule of law, the revision of our values & history

This is your fight.

See you at #NoKings this Saturday.

If you’re tired of seeing your tax dollars go to Argentina while Trump tariffs kill your local businesses and make everything more expensive

…or worried you’ll get snatched off the streets by ICE because you’re not the “right” skin color, despite being here legally

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"

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.

Local federal employees working through the shutdown describe it as “depressing,” “unsettling,” and “psychological warfare.”

Some Philly federal workers are working through the shutdown. It’s ‘awful’ and ‘depressing.’

Philly federal workers screen for bombs, control air traffic, and serve veterans. Many don't know when their next paycheck will come.

Mike Johnson is enabling a hostile takeover of the US govt by a criminal enterprise of white supremacists, Christian nationalists, and techno-fascist billionaires who aim to replace democracy with a dictatorship led by Epstein’s closest coconspirator.

For the love of America, we must protest this.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

The GOP is sitting back while the authors of Project 2025 rush to dismantle the federal government.

They have been asked to do nothing by voters or MSM. They can't even believe how easy it's been to destroy our nation.

And I am thinking, whatever is in these files, it's so bad it will end them.

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,
