-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

No image has ever spoken so succinctly about the current situation in the US.

The white house, a gaping wound in the east wing. It looks like a ruin or a mound of garbage

New in PN: A rickety dictatorship

"Trump’s increasingly desperate attempts to incite a civil war in advance of the midterms and the rejection of his party’s healthcare evisceration each demonstrate growing vulnerabilities of the nascent MAGA tyranny."

A rickety dictatorship

Trump's hand of cards is weaker than it appears.

There's a reason why the #1 rule of artillery training is to not ever fire rounds over or toward civilian targets. That's because even with all the technological advances, there's always a non-zero chance your shell will not impact or explode in the spot where you aimed for it to impact or explode.

What is Trump talking about when he says he wants to go after “Democrat programs”?

Healthcare? Clean air? Safe food?

These aren’t “Democrat programs.” These are people programs.

Civil rights and freedom. Pluralism and nonviolent protest.

The values Americans cherish are under assault by Donald Trump.

THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and California will keep peacefully pushing back against the Trump Administration's authoritarian takeover.

This Republican Party perverts Lincoln’s ethos and remarkably exalt the Dixiecrats. It’s confusing folks. Know our history.

Unlike other VPs who were just invisible, Vance can continues to cast no shadow because of his lack of substance. In modern times Papa Bush and Biden are the only VPs who have captured the presidency. Ass kissing was not a dominant trait they had.

Circa 1983 I did my 5th grade president project on FDR. I was assigned him but best president. By modern standards: socialist/antifa, WWII peacemaker.
