Turning neighbor against neighbor is no answer. Making you afraid to walk down the street. Wondering how you will pay the ever mounting bills. What happens if you get sick?
Trump's solution is no solution. It just creates more chaos, more uncertainty.
Enough with this fake war on others.

Nearly 9 months into the second Trump administration, Massachusetts has lost out on a total of $3.7 billion in federal funding thanks to Trump’s clawbacks and the domestic policy mega-bill. That supports a range of programs, from health care and housing to public safety and environmental protection.

Many have tried to make peace in the Middle East. Trump is the latest in a string of failures.
With Israeli soldiers shooting people and Hamas conducting public executions, it sounds more fragile than ever.
Trump got his applause and the world moves on.

The GOP has lost the independents.

This is the beginning of the end for the GOP.

Independent voters see Democrats tocusing on pocketbook issues more than Republicans % of battleground-state independent voters saying each issue* is "the most important for leaders to focus on today" compared to the % of voters that say each issue is a "top focus" of each party
Most important Democratic focus

There are hard questions we need to ask ourselves right now. But no matter what this administration is planning, we know who we are—we love democracy & plan to fight (peacefully) for it. In a moment where knowledge is power, here is what you need to know. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Are We the Nazis Now?

How do we meet this moment?

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

As Trump tries to rewrite the history of his own crimes, as he wages war on his own country, it's fitting that he has to travel thousands of miles away to receive the applause he craves.
Back home, it's Monday, and people are still paying more for everything.

O that's ok. We rarely have turkey as it's too dry. Perhaps once a year. Thanks for the wishes though!
