Change starts with me.
Friends, LEADERSHIP is ALL of us working together by doing what we as ONE, as a FEW, and as MANY, can do.
We, the people, as one, as a few, and as many, have the power. We ARE the power; ONE of us and ALL of us!

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

A federal judge just shut down the IRS–ICE pipeline.
47,000 names were already sent. Millions were next.
This wasn’t enforcement. It was a test to see how far private data could be pushed into surveillance.
The appeal is coming. And systems like this never stop at one group.

These people put women’s lives and future fertility at risk to promote their own religious ideology.

Embattled reproductive healthcare providers and patients in the US are already dealing with unprecedented harassment and intimidation. The resurgence of blockades as a tactic carries significant potential for radicalizing participants to violence.

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
Prosecute her and everyone involved.

It is clearly within the dictates of duty and responsibility of the Congress to BOTH protect our military from exploitation AND to hold our military accountable. I stand with the senators—and ALL Americans who have expressed concern under Trump—and I agree on this issue as expressed by Paul, below.

People may argue about whether or not Trump is suffering from dementia, and my unasked for medical opinion is that I believe he is—at least to some extent, but there’s absolutely no doubt he is depravedly delusional and/or a pathological AND a sociopathic liar… He’s clearly NOT mentally healthy.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

#GrumpyPolitics Telling troops that they must not follow unlawful orders is not sedition. It is not undermining the President.
Unless the President is giving unlawful orders and knows it. In which case, he might throw a tantrum.

I stand with Mark Kelly.
I called my elected representatives to tell them that.
I also pointed out to my reps that Sen Kelly did NOT violate any US Laws in his statement.
I then noted if my reps don’t speak out against this regime’s false & dangerous statements in re Kelly, THEY are complicit.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
