Good I already have been boycotting Home Depot. My husband and I will use either independently owned Ace Hardware stores or independent lumber yards or Lowe’s. Anytime I find a corporation is supporting fascism I’m moving my money elsewhere. Period full stop.

We know agent Krasnov, it is time to learn the agent name for Witkoff.
If only the CIA would be in working order, and not incapacitated by another russian asset, Tulsi Gabbard "our girlfriend" as she is called on russian TV.

The fact that only 3 (by my count) Republican members of Congress have spoken out about the Witkoff situation shows how thoroughly corrupted and compromised the entire party has become from top to bottom. None of this is about just Trump - it is the entire political party.

No. Trump is not working on a “peace plan” for Ukraine. He’s pressuring Zelenskyy to SURRENDER Ukraine and its citizens to Putin.

Another great read from the amazing Tom Joad. My fabulous songwriter friend Carmaig DeForest once gave me a talking to suggesting that I should stop worrying so much about who was president and worry more about who is on the school board. This makes tremendous sense. Give this your time.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

At every turn, Trump 2.0 has prioritized petty, poorly-planned emotional outbursts over any sort of consistent coherent authoritarian consolidation.
Even the ICE/CBP rampages reflect that. Horrible and awful, but overreaches that have red suburbs blowing whistles.
No mature ppl to restrain Miller.

"No, this is not cost-cutting or isolationism. This is picking a side – Putin’s side. Any pretence at even-handedness has gone. The tragic truth is that, kompromat or no kompromat, Trump is behaving precisely as he would if he were a Russian asset."

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.
