Texas passed their extreme gerrymandered maps, their efforts to steal the 2026 midterms must be neutralized. CA is responding though we must educate our electorate. We don't cheat, we do it Democratically!🗽

This isn't going to be cheap & Nov is 3 months away.

If you're able, please support!

Donate to Stop Trump from Rigging the 2026 Election

If Californians don’t act now, Donald Trump will seize total power for two more years.

Most corrupt POTUS in USA history! Unchecked insider trading, manipulating the market with tariffs. Hello, SEC?

Massive insider trading. Thirty minutes before Trump’s China tariff announcement, a crypto “whale” opened a $100M+ short on Bitcoin.

4:30 PM: Whale opens $100M+ BTC short
4:50 PM: Trump announces 100% tariffs on China
5:20 PM: $19.3 B in liquidations hit the market
The whale’s profit: $192 million

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Love that Chicago is getting in on the Portland humor bandwagon! Hard to say it’s a warzone when this is happening!

They want us to hate each other. We win by defying them & showing kindness & compassion, humor & calmness. They want us to be afraid, we win by showing up despite that fear. They want to control us, we win by showing them we are many! Show up for your local No Kings & bring a friend! They won’t win!

The storm troopers have batons to hit the peaceful protesters with. Fascists, just perfect.

This is how it’s done. Video tape everything. Show they are the violent ones. Stay peaceful. Make your voice heard but do not comply with illegal orders to disperse. We have the right to free speech! Let them know we know. Calmly and clearly! Show up to the Oct 18th No King Protest in your area

Dear Officers:

You are not witnessing “insurrection”.

You are confronting law-abiding fellow citizens. To please the self-claimed king.

Are you proud of the mission?

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

Tweet from MeidasTouch: “Wow that’s crazy. Who’s running the federal government?”
Below, Acyn’s tweet quotes Rep. Mike Johnson: “If you look at polling, people’s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they don’t see that it’s being done well.”
A C-SPAN screenshot shows Johnson speaking with another man standing beside him.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

The firehose of easily disprovable lies from Trump and his allies continues to get worse each month, with one statement after another completely untethered from reality, which is why it is so important for them to take ownership and control of media platforms & intimidate others.

Local governments in Asheville and Durham, N.C., passed ordinances to cut down on single-use plastic waste. Now, the Repub-controlled legislature has prohibited local governments from banning “auxiliary containers,” crippling their efforts.

In 2023, Republican state lawmakers slipped a provision into the state budget prohibiting local governments from banning “auxiliary containers,” things like plastic bags and Styrofoam cups and coolers...

Do you enjoy New Mexico chiles? I know I do. And for that, we can thank Mexican American horticulturist Fabian García, who has been described as the “father of the New Mexican food industry” because of his pioneering work. /1

I am heartbroken that this is what our country has become. I’m aware we are not what I grew up thinking we are, but we are now definitely an authoritarian monstrous regime!

Today in history, 1906: San Francisco sparks a diplomatic crisis between the United States and Japan by ordering segregated schools for Japanese students. Tensions were eased by the “Gentleman’s Agreement,” an informal treaty between the U.S. and Japan signed by Teddy Roosevelt. /1

How it's going in Chicago

After ICE arrested US citizen and WGN Producer Debbie Brockman

Agents driving the white van cut off and hit another car, swarmed the vehicle at gunpoint, dragged out the driver-who is ALSO a citizen-and arrested her, too
