A waste-free Pentagon isn't possible with Trump giving the orders

Sending thousands of troops to peaceful Democratic cities will drain our country by two-thirds of a billion dollars - DC costs $200 million

Why is America allowing a physically & mentally weak old man to abuse his power

A waste-free Pentagon isn't happening

Sending thousands of National Guard troops to Democratic cities, that are already peaceful, is draining the Pentagon’s budget & abusing Trump’s authority

Why is America allowing a weak-minded old man to devastate the country we love

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week.

Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown.

The cruelty is endless.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

"When we ask them why their families couldn’t accept them, a staggering amount, about 90 percent, tell us they were rejected due to their parents’ religious beliefs."

LGBTQ teens are expelled from their homes by religious parents. We must do better. - Outreach

It is my hope and prayer that we will awaken to the terrible harm being done to homeless LGBTQ youths in God’s name, recognize it as shameful and repent of what causes that harm.

People have no idea of the dangers of the firings at the CDC.

The people who work there care about your health.

We are at risk, because the republicans refused to TALK.

ABC pulled Kimmel. Disney bowed to President Trump. Media silenced at the president’s request is authoritarianism, not freedom.

Now, Disney has reinstated Kimmel, because in America, the power belongs to the people.

Curious if folks are getting the impression that those around them are unaware antifa is not an org? We know this admin is dead set on pretending it is & many media are uncritically perpetuating that. Feels like we’re watching an elite disinfo campaign move in both a rapid and absurdist fashion.

Karl Bode @karlbode.com · 3d

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

Kristi Noem called country singer Zach Bryan’s anti-ICE ballad “disrespectful” and the White House accused him of wanting to “Open The Gates to criminal illegal aliens.”

Comics, musicians, artists, scholars are always public targets of authoritarian regimes. This regime is no different.

Trump is persecuting Letitia James for finally holding him accountable.

He is just trashing the Constitution and turning us into an autocracy.
