Weβve seen the pictures of Trump with Epstein and underage girls.
Where are the pictures of Trump doing volunteer work, on mission trips, or even at a church function?
He has nothing to show us but a sleazy past of self indulgence.

The Trump team thinks Confederate traitors who killed Americans are worth honoring.
But Americans who fought at Normandy in D-Day like Medgar Evers, or served in the Navy like Harvey Milk and Cesar Chavez, or worked as a spy for the US Army like Harriet Tubman, well, they are NOT worth honoring.
I want politics to be about a better everyday life.
Here's what that can look like:
Cory Booker is 100% with us:
βWhat other Americans are doing, theyβre not waiting for us in Congress to lead. Theyβve decided to take matters into their own hands and do something different. Those people were demanding that I catch upβto try and do like theyβre doing.β
He gets it, folks.
You have to see this.
PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. Itβs important, itβs urgentβand it needs to be shared far and wide.
Make this go viral!
Her husbandβs life was put at risk by the Signal texts.
Yes, exactly my thoughts while reading this news.
Mike Sorrell on Trump's authoritarian speech at the Department of Justice:
I did the same. The first book I downloaded was On Tyranny by @timothysnyder.bsky.social Of course I chose the expanded edition.
Pretty much sums up the current Democratic Party.
What the actual fuck?! America, itβs time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizΓ‘ndola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PΓDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pΓdeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a Γ‘reas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Happy Birthday! You are gorgeous. Enjoy your special day!
DEI doesnβt mean hiring unqualified peopleβit means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.
Just a heads up. Itβs going to get worse. Stop relying on the corporate media who failed to warn you, only to reap the profits from the shitshow now. They wanted this for you. Get your news here. With swearing. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
Trump is canceling flights for Afghan allies who were already cleared, leaving them to face the Taliban's brutal revenge. These brave individuals stood shoulder to shoulder with our Troopsβwe owe it to them to stand up and #TakeThemToo.
We donβt abandon those who served!
Coca-Cola was my vice. I would have 6 or more cans a day. My kidsβ friends would joke that it was my βbeerβ since I donβt drink alcohol. I gave up Coke over seven years ago and feel so much better. I still crave it, especially when eating certain foods that only Coke should be paired with.
I listened for 4,104 minutes in 2024. What about you? #SpotifyWrapped
