He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

ICE tactics intensify despite disturbing videos surfacing across the U.S. Many of the videos are difficult to watch, but it is also important to bear witness to what is happening to human beings on the streets of America. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

The narrative & language of the Speaker and other GOPers is illogical. They are calling the "No Kings Protests" by the name of "Hate America Protests." IF they would use their critical thinking abilities, they would remember that we fought to rid ourselves of a king, therefore "No Kings" is pro USA.

Gutting the VRA enshrining gerrymanders, allowing a tsunami of corporate money to drown our elections, the court is determined to dismantle democracy and a nation where your rights, voice and vote depend on where you live and, again, the color of your skin. www.salon.com/2025/10/15/j...

The Roberts Court has been built with a majority of justices appointed by presidents who have lost the popular vote, affirmed by a Senate itself built on minority rule and with two members (Kavanaugh and Justice Amy Coney Barrett) confirmed under dubious circumstances. www.salon.com/2025/10/15/j...

The Roberts Court has enabled Trump’s extra-constitutional use of executive power, while also awarding him an entirely fictitious notion of presidential immunity that shields Trump from nearly all accountability. www.salon.com/2025/10/15/j...

It’s not written in stone that conservatives can’t make art. But MAGA repels the creative urge. The whole movement is based on a notion that difference is scary, change is bad and everything that’s happened since you were 11 years old is a travesty. www.salon.com/2025/10/15/m...

MAGA’s relationship with pop culture has two forms: Complete cluelessness and/or resentment that most people think their taste stinks. This matters because the far-right believes that capturing the culture is the key to obtaining their larger political goals. LOL www.salon.com/2025/10/15/m...

In perhaps the saddest post of the day, a MAGA made a fantasy poster featuring a murderers’ row of has-beens like Papa Roach, Nickelback, Staind and, yep, Creed. So, the same array of CDs you’d find in the floorboards of the least dateable guy you knew in the 1990s. www.salon.com/2025/10/15/m...

Trump’s is noodling around with 3D remodels while the government is shut down. The tenser things get, he just thinks about the marble he wants or the columns, whether they're going to be Corinthian or not. Tell me again that he's planning on leaving..ever?

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.
