We pledge to fight along side them
Fight this fascism
Fight for their Benefits & Healthcare
They deserve better than trump & hegseth
Constant, conflicting and false information from the White House causes the public to see truth as relative and dismiss those who disagree as untruthful. It's a tactic with historical ties to 1930s Nazi Germany and modern extremist movements, according to a journalism scholar.

Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco/Bay Area - here are some restaurants helping with food if you’re struggling with loss of SNAP benefits.

Wonderfully wet and wild.
Make up all the bug hotels and bird boxes you want, but without way more healthy wild natural habitats like this, nature will continue to crash.
Rewilding is how we make that happen.
At 66, Judi Oyama would be considered a senior citizen by Japan’s official standards, but nothing about her life fits that description. This Japanese American skater has had a long ride to recognition.
Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"
This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.
Denise Mortimer, a former USAID employee, found comfort in drawing sketches of her dog as the agency was dismantled.
Then she kept going, drawing more animals and launching an account describing the work once done by their owners.
Union Pacific wants Trump's regulators to approve its $72B buyout of Norfolk Southern — a mega-deal that would stifle competition, raise costs, and hurt workers.

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."
"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."
"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"
"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.
Watch this.
Open your eyes to this brutality.
ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.
Now share this.
Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.
You have power.
Even sharing this video exerts that power.
Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!
The brutality. The corruption. The lies.
Everything is on full display — and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson.
Watch.
Anyone who loves animals and sees ads on TV advocating for their protection needs to see this. Please donate to your local shelter.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!
Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.
While others are rightly blasting the New York Times & the rest of the White House Press Corps who shrink in fear of a Trump tweet, the Portland Oregonian called out the Trump Administration succinctly & correctly over the past 24 hours.

Portland, OR is a beautiful city filled with creative people. Like any city, it is not perfect, but it is definitely NOT a war zone that needs saving.
And to my many friends there: stay safe, stay strong, and don't take the bait.
