George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

That place in hell is warmer and waiting on these murders. Since when in the US law has drug trafficking ever been a death sentence and without at least a preliminary hearing, let alone a trial.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

This bound to go too far. I live in one of the most segregated cities in this country for more than 45 years, and I have never seen the racial division worse than it is now. When I tell you if looks could kill… in the burbs it gets so intense you see it in the kids. This country may never recover.

If Trump turns his people lose on protesters on American streets it will be the most costly move he has ever made. It will backfire so badly that he won’t know what hit him. He should stick to showmanship and leave civics to the Pros.

This man has gotta be pissing off a lot of people. Way more people than he is making happy. This has to come with great consequence, you must think… right? I guess time will tell.

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.

I would never trust men who use human beings suffering and death for their own gain. Life is only of value to them when when they need you. These people see you/us as servants of their own, no more no less. Their MO is to make you think it’s about you, until they achieve their goals. Then nothing.

I’m always slightly concerned when people complain about having to read a paragraph on social media…we were writing 8-12 page papers back in the day. The inability to stomach a paragraph is a bit regressive as adults. Please put the phones down and pick up a book to rebuild your attention span!

The strange thing to me is that this type of Mental Illness appears to be contagious and acts fast at deterioration of normal brain functions like empathy, conflict resolution, responsibility, and total disconnect from reality. This illness must be contained and addressed. Just my opinion.

While Trump blusters about "law & order," his regime has dropped or halted nearly 165 investigations into corporate wrongdoing. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters, including Jan 6 rioters and others convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery.

Hurry people get that information fast before the Trump Organization gets wind of what’s going on. They will shut it down just like they did with that app.
