"The belief in the possibility of a short decisive war appears to be one of the most ancient and dangerous of human illusions." -Robert Lynd, writer (20 Apr 1879-1949)

Trump needs to be removed from office; he has clearly lost what little control of himself that he had. He is a disgrace. The only good thing is that his derangement is becoming clearer even to his most ardent supporters, so maybe the country can salvage its reputation after he is gone.

Trump post appearing to depict him as Jesus removed amid backlash Before the post was deleted, Evangelical and Catholic allies called the image blasphemous in a rare public break from a base that has largely stood by Trump.

"Protesting is an act of love. It is born of a deeply held conviction that the world can be a better, kinder place. Saying "no" to injustice is the ultimate declaration of hope." - Amy Goodman, investigative journalist, columnist, and author (b. 13 Apr 1957)

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: States are on the frontlines of defending our democracy. State AGs, Secretaries of State, and Governors lost no time taking Trump's illegal executive order to court this week. They will protect our elections.

Protecting our elections isn’t partisan. It’s foundational to our democracy.

Every eligible voter should be able to vote, and every state and local elections official should be able to administer elections without fear of federal overreach or threats of prosecution.

resignations. The American people need to call on their representatives – demand that they stand up & do their jobs & make the president be accountable to the people’s elected representatives. (2/2)

We’ve now had American soldiers die in this war, which was never authorized. They were shot down by a country that Trump has claimed we have devastated, eliminating those capabilities. His lies are so transparent now. He lacks a cohesive plan on Iran, which is why we are seeing major military (1/2)

"We are not an endangered species ourselves yet, but this is not for lack of trying." - Douglas Adams, author (1952-2001)

The dictator's new shoes? Trump demands his subordinates wear the same footwear. With revelations about a bizarre footwear fetish, the president joins a long line of autocrats throughout history by insisting that his subordinates copy his style — or else.

The callouness and cavalier attitude of the administration toward the war - comparing it to football - is beyond comprehension. Ask the families of those who have been brought home in body bags just how much of a game this is.

2 weeks ago, they closed down the El Paso airspace to shoot down a drone that ended up being a party balloon. Now we learn they closed the airspace again & this time they did shoot down a drone, except it was one of ours. Does this give us confidence in this administration? Does anyone feel safer?

Trump will use the false claim of Chinese interference to take over the '26 elections. This isn't just Trump blustering; the SOTU was about inciting people to execute that plan. Find orgs like @statesunited.org & @fwdparty.bsky.social that are fighting for democracy & get active before it's too late

It's depressing to see Trump turn the Olympics into a political sideshow. Posting a meme of himself scoring a hockey goal, using the men’s team as ploys in the SOTU is frustrating, especially after the flippant remarks he made about the women’s USA hockey team whose record is better than the men's.

Listening to Trump talk about patriotism and honoring all those who served makes me sick. He didn’t have that level of patriotism when it came to serving in Vietnam, he just claimed to have bone spurs.

"It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment." - Ansel Adams, photographer (20 Feb 1902-1984)

Freedom, equality, fair elections, rule of law, checks & balances are truths that are not owned by one political party.

They are American ideals. And they belong to all of us.

Trump downs cartel drone near El Paso after closing airspace The White House attributed the sudden closure of US airspace over El Paso, Texas, to drone activity linked to Mexican drug cartels.

And just how much did this “mistake” cost us? What a joke.

no evidence of fraud. Yet he continues to use taxpayer resources in GA. This isn't a partisan issue; it challenges the core of our democracy: free & fair elections. We cannot ignore this - we must make our voices heard with elected representatives at every level. (2/2)

Trump’s talk of nationalizing elections is not a distraction from the Epstein files; it is happening. His legal team has pursued this since 2016 and he has said that only elections he wins are fair.

The Trump administration exempts new nuclear reactors from environmental review The announcement comes just days after NPR revealed the administration had secretly rewritten safety and environmental standards.

Our industry & nuclear regulatory commission have been held as worldwide examples of how to do it correctly, and our record has been good. This is clearly an expanding form of energy & we should be part of it - safely. www.npr.org/2026/02/02/n...
