What is the Difference between FOX NEWS and PBS?

The applause piped into the footage in FOX makes it sound like he is being applauded by hundreds of people while PBS was almost silent except for the music in the background. WHY IS THIS LEGAL?

The "3.5% Rule"

States sustained nonviolent resistance campaigns engaging a small % of a population have been successful in creating significant change.

Tell your friends.
Then ask how they're getting involved.

We have a constitutional obligation to provide oversight. To ASK QUESTIONS. And for our questions to be met with handcuffs is UNACCEPTABLE.

Tragically, the outrageous assault of Sen. Padilla today is becoming normal behavior for a Trump administration which is moving us toward authoritarianism.

The American people do not like petty tyrants. We defeated King George in 1776. We will defeat King Donald.

Many Dutch immigrated to America for religious freedom, economic opportunity, and farmland. From the 1600s to the 1800s, they brought rich traditions, strong work ethics and community values—shaping places like New York and the Midwest. #DutchHeritage #Immigration #History #Holland #Michigan #Tulips

At just 15, #ClaudetteColvin refused to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, AL—9 months before Rosa Parks. Her brave stand helped spark the #civilrights movement, though her story was overlooked.

Come discuss her and other #SmallandMighty stories on May 19!

The FTC-Meta trial kicks off today, where the FTC will argue that Meta should possibly divest IG and WhatsApp. That could be disastrous for Meta, which relies on IG for a significant portion of its ad revenue—an estimated 50% or more in the US www.wired.com/story/meta-f... via @peard33.bsky.social

Trump increased timber production on public land & national #forests. It dangerously bypasses #environmentallaws to destroy our #publiclands, harm #wildlife. It risks air and #waterquality.

Look how #happy this public land makes a #puppy!

Dissent isn’t disorder—it’s democracy in action

Dissent means to disagree, especially with those in power. It’s speaking up, pushing back & calling for better. It’s how change starts

Raise your voice Respectfully
Boldly
Together.

Dear Rep. Huizenga, We are constituents. We’re urging you to vote NO on The SAVE Act.

Elections are secure in Michigan. If there was fraud, we'd have gotten rid of you by now.

Are we right?
