Please do not refer to this "Board of Peace" as a UN-like entity.

It is a Mar-a-Lago Club / Rose Garden Club inspired membership with ONE person collecting fees, ONE person being in charge with neither citizens nor leaders having ANY say about anything.

Let's keep our heads on a swivel. Please.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin bought up to $50K each in Raytheon stock (RTX) & Chevron (CVX) just days before the U.S. strike on Venezuela—

Mullin sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee — I’m sure it’s just a coincidence..

Another thing that we all knew and now have proof of is the gun rights advocates were never going to protect us from a fascist authoritarian government, they were going to join it. The good guy with a gun narrative was always BS.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s call to stand up against injustice still rings true today.

As we confront the many challenges our state and nation face, his powerful example remains an inspiration that demonstrates the impact we can have by uniting across our differences.

MLK Jr. said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

Remember this.

Rachel Maddow: The people, by and large, stand in opposition to Trump — his approval ratings have fallen through the floor & then down into the basement & then through the basement floor into the bedrock — He is just despised as a political leader in this country in almost unprecedented terms

Lately there has been a lot of people on BlueSky demanding that Americans to go turn violent on ICE agents.

I’m sure that some of them are genuinely just frightened and misguided.

But some of them are actively trying to insight violence because that is what is called for in project 2025.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority”

He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

Good point. Trump has convinced his cult that he is “America First.” He is Trump First - and that means seeking out corrupt leaders around the world to do business with who run the kind of oligarchic regimes that he envies. Nothing he does overseas benefits average Americans.

Philadelphia showed up on MLK Jr. Day.
From the Immigration Court at 9th & Market to ICE’s field office, the city marched in defiance: against ICE raids, against state violence, against the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
Dr. King taught us: justice requires action. Philly answered.

Poverty is not an accident. Like slavery and apartheid, it is man-made and can be removed by the actions of human beings.
-- Nelson Mandela

If you can’t pay your workers a living wage, buy fewer stock-buybacks, planes, rental properties, designer stuff and yachts.
