Karoline Leavitt is a complete disgrace.

Her violent and unhinged rhetoric is going to get someone killed.

These extremists are sick people.

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.

Trump's invasion of Chicago is in serious trouble. First some Guard members had to be sent home because they failed to meet Hegseth's fitness standards, and now the court says even trim ones don't belong there.

And we all should bring a friend.

Many people just need a friendly nudge to hit the streets in protest.

It's very easy to attend one. Enter your zip code, and show up.

That's it. Come join us.

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 ...

While Americans struggle with rising prices and chaos from Trump’s tariffs, he’s making healthcare unaffordable

and sending $40 BILLION to bail out Argentina’s economy instead of helping American farmers crushed by his own policies.

⚠️Farmers are self employed and rely on the ACA.

The Trump admin plans to shift terrorism prevention funding from Democratic-led states toward those led by Republicans.

12 Democratic-led states are suing to block the cuts — alleging that Trump is trying to punish them for not cooperating with federal immigration agents.

DO NOT let ANY misinformation go unchecked.

Every lie left unchallenged becomes “truth” to someone.

Silence lets deceit harden into fact.

Push back, every time — because democracy can’t survive on mute.

as the Republicans are DOCUMENTED as talking about gassing their enemies and stated RAPING women is epic. CAN YOU IMAGINE!!

but yes, tell me again about how antifa or Dems are the problem. 🤯

Stop the gaslighting.

IT’S RIGHT THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 10h

Trump recently signed an executive order declaring antifa a domestic "terrorist organization." The declaration may be absurd, but Trump's endgame is clear: to allow the government to label everyday citizens as terrorist threats in order to suppress protests and silence opposition.
