FLORIDA now requires public schools to share space with charter schools, and “one charter operator intends to occupy space in more than 100 public schools (!)” 🤔

Privatizing public schools at breakneck speed, filling their pockets with taxpayer funds. www.fox13news.com/news/charter...

According to the Port Huron Times Herald, he was convicted for exposing his genitals to a young child in the care of his family’s daycare between 2020 AND 2023. Sadly MI does not have the death penalty 😔

@democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social Particularly those on the Armed Services & Budget Committee(s). We’re in a shutdown & despite #Qatar pledging to fund building the site; security & overall control of it will remain under the U.S. Air Force thus violating the Antideficiency Act no?!

Being a nation of laws to protect our democracy I can only hope the daily breaking of many of them will be addressed sooner rather than later:

Hatch Act
Antideficiency Act
18 U.S.C. § 600
18 U.S.C. § 595

Courage is standing up when it’s difficult

People are so used to politicians who will absolutely RUIN your life indirectly, but would never dream of challenging your ideas directly.

And this is the wrong way to be.

Find somebody who tells you you're an idiot, but wants to help make your idiot life better 😁

Our longest shutdown was 2018 & now they’re still using the same one trick pony BS grievances ad nauseam. It’s exhausting & shameful.

Found on FB. This is exactly what I thought he was doing. Everyone stay peaceful! That’s how we strike back!

Facebook post. Text: Miles Taylor worked for Donald Trump, he worked in Trump's Department of Homeland Security, he helped write Trump's anti-terrorism plan his first term. He knows Donald Trump, he knows the people in his administration and he knows exactly what he's doing now. Trump is not ordering the military into American cities to stop violence, he's doing to create violence. He wants to provoke a reaction. It is now on us as responsible Americans to deny Trump what he wants. We must continue to resist peacefully and continue to use the power of the courts and the law to address his unlawful acts. Don't give Trump a win, don't let your anger get the best of you, stay peaceful and stay positive, we will prevail in the end.

Yes‼️ Sat I saw a Rogan clip of him shaming 47 re ICE targets & their MO. Also, that over 100 R’s will break rank if Congress resumes & the Epstein files aren’t brought to vote immediately & passed. First true sign the MAGA mind-meld BS is fading. It healed my soul a bit❤️‍🩹

I just had this conversation yesterday w/ a friend re her fam. Yes, some MAGA are immoral w/ zero F’s to give. However, MANY are amoral. Immoral knows what they’re doing is wrong & does it anyway, whereas an amoral person lacks any concept of right & wrong. My learning how many exist was 🤯 & 💔😳

Violence solves nothing. Share real impacts in simple terms. Stay calm, know the facts & communicate with purpose. Feeling attacked/judged shifts one into defense mode & triggers emotional responses blocking rational thinking forcing one to reject/ignore facts to preserve their self-image/beliefs.

Whitehouse.gov current agenda👇🏼
If these actions continue w/ no bulwark to preserve democracy, will only lead to disparity of all states & make the U.S. unrecognizable as a country. If fully implemented & accepted the depredation could only lead to a profound level of hardships to most citizens.

📖👇🏼— link for specific grants cut & their purpose. Each of these programs defunded were indicators of an evolved first rate country. The foreboding callousness as an over arching theme by the federal government will only leave citizens vulnerable to exploitation as we devolve into an oligarchy.

FFS. And I thought them deploying chemicals on 27 police officers could be their worse offense. This is insanity. How quickly we’re devolving into a third world country by a party claiming to make things great 🤬

Republicans are currently going around the media to claim the nationwide peaceful No Kings protest on 10/18 is a “Hate America” rally.

Actually, No Kings is a rally of love—love for the founding ideals of America, love for the democracy and freedoms we cherish, love for one another.

Let’s show it:

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 ...
