OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

It seems like a really good evening to watch "Becoming." Michelle Obama is a balm in the midst of unmitigated hate from a president and his administration.

Leaked video from one of the regime’s black sites, shows victims being crammed into small detention rooms designed for short stays indefinitely. More than 50 people at a time, including US residents and citizens. They report beatings, torture, and food deprivation. #3E #GoodvsEvil

The transformation of ICE into a type of national police force, backed, in some cases, by soldiers from the National Guard, has been covered as immigration story—but these forces are reshaping democracy for all of us.

“There are injuries which nature cannot forgive.”

-Thomas Paine, COMMON SENSE

This one is ringing in my ears today
When Paine wrote COMMON SENSE, Boston was occupied by redcoats.

“Let our imaginations transport us to Boston, that seat of wretchedness will teach us wisdom, and instruct us for ever to renounce a power in whom we can have no trust"

They said universal childcare was impossible. They said Albany would block it. They were wrong.

Eight days into office, Zohran Mamdani locked in a fully funded pathway to universal childcare with Kathy Hochul.

This is what happens when organized people beat organized money.

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?

Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

A Heritage Foundation fellow is citing a former neo-Nazi to legitimize the Great Replacement—the racist conspiracy theory that claims white people are being “replaced” by immigrants. Once linked to mass murder, it's now helping shape the vision behind Project 2025.

Trump has bombed a sovereign nation with zero authorization from Congress, no declaration of war, & no legitimate justification under US or Int’l law. This is not defense—it is deliberate aggression.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran had little to do with intelligence. For years, including when he was last in office, the public U.S. intel assessment has been the same: Iran was not trying to build a nuclear weapon.

Congress died the moment they allowed 147 insurrectionists to remain in office instead of expelling them and charging them with sedition. That’s just my opinion.
