You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?

Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

A Heritage Foundation fellow is citing a former neo-Nazi to legitimize the Great Replacement—the racist conspiracy theory that claims white people are being “replaced” by immigrants. Once linked to mass murder, it's now helping shape the vision behind Project 2025.

Trump has bombed a sovereign nation with zero authorization from Congress, no declaration of war, & no legitimate justification under US or Int’l law. This is not defense—it is deliberate aggression.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran had little to do with intelligence. For years, including when he was last in office, the public U.S. intel assessment has been the same: Iran was not trying to build a nuclear weapon.

Congress died the moment they allowed 147 insurrectionists to remain in office instead of expelling them and charging them with sedition. That’s just my opinion.

Know how Baby Boomers had a baby boom without a $5000 bribe?

The top marginal tax rate during the Baby Boomer generation was 77% to 91%. Right now under Trump's tax scam its 37%.

Keep your weak $5K, tax billionaires what they should be taxed, & pay workers a living wage.

Baby problem solved.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”

This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.

He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.
