The best civic act we can do as US citizens is cast our ballot in every election.

Imagine if every eligible voter consistently went to the polls with their entire ballot marked.

We just might get the country we deserve. 🗳️

President Trump's new tariffs on imported lumber and furniture are going into effect today. A new report from Goldman Sachs finds that U.S. consumers are bearing more than half the cost from the tariffs so far.

We fought an entire war against fascist Hitler. Americans are all (or should be) antifa, for crying out loud.

One word: dic-tion-ary.

Authoritarianism needs 100% agreement to succeed.

Nah. Let’s not.

You beat Trumpism by banding together. It’s really as hard and as simple as that.

Political cartoon courtesy of the Salt Lake Tribune and cartoonist Pat Bagley. A single panel titled, “Stand with humanity”. Bagley depicts Leo the Pope on the left side of the panel. He is drawn small shown with his hand out in a “stop” posture, with a woman and her two children seeking protection at his feet. On the right are two giant human figures labels “hate” and “lies”. The former depicted as gladiator with sword. The latter as ICE agent with a machine gun. The “hate” figure says “Get a load of Mr. Woke Marxist here”, his thumb pointing towards the Pope.

Near the end of the article we see that of course the ceasefire is called the “Trump Peace Agreement”.

For the love of god, everything’s about him.

How do you “feel bad” when you slashed SNAP, ended ACA Marketplace tax subsidies?

Yet you funded: tax cuts, military, DHS.

You funded the greedy and shunned the needy.

Per article:
⬇️Salaries
⬇️Staffing
➡️⬆️Deaths

And, bonus: you can’t sue (and prevail) the private equity firms that own these hospitals.

It’s not US Healthcare. It’s patient extortion.

ICE detained a nonverbal, 15 year-old autistic boy who’d been selling fruit by the side of the road with his family when he took a bathroom break. The family was not notified. He was held in ICE detention for a week before the family could find him.

Does Trump think Alaska is Putin’s Problem?
Is there something we don’t know. Like he gave away the 49th state?

Rep. María Salazar claims to stand with working families — but voted to gut ACA tax credits that thousands in her own district rely on. Floridians can’t afford her broken promises on health care.

You WILL be patriotic for this country

You WILL do this in blind faith

You WILL trust the government without question

We WILL crush YOU if you don’t

We have plans for the county that WE will not disclose to YOU

WE have all the answers for prosperity that may not include YOU

Sound promising?
