There were moments in our history where the people had to rise up against the evil in the world. We are now in that moment. We are not going to surrender our freedoms and we will defend our country against all enemies foreign and domestic. Trump is our enemy along with musk. It is our time NOW💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

ICE is terrorizing people in the United States of America. Why would you call it anything else? That's exactly what it is.

Here's what is about to happen. Don't let it fool you.

A feeble and confused Donald Trump was defeated by an umbrella yesterday, before incoherently babbling to reporters about how he doesn’t think he’s getting into heaven. Then he suggested that the airplane he was on was heaven. Either that or he suggested that he was already dead and in heaven. At this point it’s often…

It's slipping away from them

It seems that some Republicans are coming to their senses, though it’s only for their own salvation. Statistics consistently show that Democrats holding out on the budget to save health care for low and middle-class Americans is gaining popularity. As reported by the Washington Post, Republicans have been trying for 15 years to kill the…

JD Vance just got humiliated

JD Vance humiliated himself on Sunday by being cut off as he was speaking. It happened on ABC where Vance was busily and insincerely blaming Dems for the government shutdown. But then the subject of bribery and Tom Homan came up. Vance did his best to defend the disgraceful Border Czar. Calling defending the rule…

Trump is now so deep into dementia that he doesn’t remember who was President on the day he, as President, incited a domestic terrorist attack to try to remain President. He’s that far gone.

Senator Bernie Sanders has a message for Speaker Johnson.

The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a "hate America" rally.
It's a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom.

Pam Bondi gets uglier with every clip of her I see. People lying...when everyone knows they are lying...yet they do it anyway...they're the most repulsive thing you can ever see. That feeling of being repulsed...and what you are looking at...when you feel that way...fuse... permanently.

Donald Trump is falling to pieces

Woe to the people who dare to try to conquer America. They always meet the same fate — and that fate is defeat. Donald John Trump thinks he’s a conqueror, which is pretty funny if one thinks about it. Trump is no conqueror. All that is, is a silly and infantile person with a brain…

So greasy fascist lunatic Peter Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg may be the Antichrist?

Guess whose name appears in the Epstein Files that have been released, Peter? No hers. Yours!

So that, technically, makes you more evil than the Antichrist.

[Excerpt:] Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg & critics of tech or AI are “legionnaires of the Antichrist” in private lectures on Christianity that linked government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future.
