A large crowd as always at the weekly march in Tbilisi. Georgians have been protesting in 8+ cities every day for the last 507 days.

Not all cries for help are loud.

There’s a silent signal everyone should know.

Thumb tucked. Fingers folded.

It means “I need help”

Share this please!

Today, Russel Vought appeared in front of the House Budget Committee to defend the proposed cuts to the #NIH & others. He justifies cuts to cancer, Alzheimer’s research etc. & spreads lies about the origins of Covid.

FYI: The NIH budget is less than 1% of federal budget.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

Have Trump's tariffs worked? This is where things stand a year after 'Liberation Day' It has been a year since President Trump announced double-digit tariffs on imports from around the world. So far, those levies have not produced the economic boom the president promised.

The Black Panthers fed thousands of children every morning before school.

The police saw this as a threat. The police raided kitchen, smashed food and urinated on supplies.

The police and the media failed to call the police out for the vicious attacks on the Black Panthers.

Just a reminder that the senator who sponsored the bill which became law with broad bipartisan support that states a president cannot pull the US out of NATO without congressional approval was …

Marco Rubio.

We are none of us free until all are free! "Sirens in the night. People ask why we stand together. We won't pass it by. We won't be silent while our friends are gunned down. Say it loud!"
Some of these people remember our last fight against Fascism.

TTC Extra: Russian Birth Tourism at Trump Properties Russian women are having children in Florida hotels to get their kids US passports

Trump is arguing against Birthright Citizenship before the Supreme Court right now and he used to make Russian oligarch's sons and daughters into citizens for money

Your April Fools' Day Reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.

RESISTANCE THE REPUBLICAN SENATE HAD A RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT US FROM THE DANGERS OF DONALD TRUMP. THEY PLEDGED TO DO IMPARTIAL JUSTICE. THEY SWORE AN OATH TO PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. THEY FAILED US. THEY PUT US ALL AT RISK. STEVEN BESCHLOSS

2021 in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee. Why did Republicans pass restrictive Arizona voting laws?

“Because it puts us at a competitive disadvantage relative to Democrats. Politics is a zero-sum game.”

Republican motives are crystal clear.

Republicans Are A Criminal Syndicate

Democrats must hold firm on refusing to fund DHS without significant ICE reform

They should look to abolish ICE altogether at this point, but unfortunately Chuck Schumer doesn’t have the courage to go that far

Israel Destroyed Gaza’s Roads and Transit. Now, We Walk Everywhere. Israeli bombing left cars in Gaza immobile and roads impassable. The assault on Iran has only spiked prices and worsened conditions.

In the day and age where you can find pretty much anything about anyone, and all the data the government ALREADY has about every single citizen, it is preposterous that this is even on the table.

It is a Republican voter suppression bill period!

Unfair, James. It was easy for Jesus to be a nice guy. Because, as Donald Trump would be the first to tell you, no one ever treated Jesus as badly as we have treated Trump.

A post from herstoryspeaking: “For the first time in 70 years the UN broke from consensus for the global reaffirmation of women’s rights. 37 Nations in favor & 1 against. Of course that one against the reaffirmation of women’s rights was the United States because of language that included: diversity, equity & inclusion; the effects of climate change on women; regulations for AI; the definition of gender; the reproductive health rights of women & girls. Don’t ever tell me this administration cares about women & girls.”

37 Nations FOR women’s rights, 1 nation against. Trump & the Republicans want women to stay home, have babies (no reproductive health rights), be unable to get a divorce if needed, & be less self-reliant.

Now they are trying to make voting especially difficult for women w/ the “SAVE America Act”.
