Trump made it no secret that he hates Tish James because she put public accountability above fealty. The president is using the DOJ to target public officials who serve the American people. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Time for America to get serious & plan general strikes, boycotts, & millions on top of millions of people PEACEFULLY in the streets to confront The Dictator’s madness.

Got to step it up.

Have you ever volunteered for a phonebanking or a canvassing event?

If not, this would be a good 1st campaign to start.

Those who volunteer can say they are true American heroes!

Think about all the founding fathers & Civil Rights leaders sacrificed for us. Will you let that all get thrown away?

Reminder that this baseless indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James is part of Donald Trump’s corrupt weaponization of the criminal justice system against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable.

The unhoused industrial complex? Now the unhoused is running cover for Antifa? They are going to use this to round up people, claim they’re working with terrorists, use NSPM-7 and disappear them to god knows where…

Kindness is now a crime.

They are trying to criminalize homelessness.

How disgusting you have to be as a person to do that.

Damn classist morons.

At this rate, when this is done, people will reject capitalism as vile and find another system. The elite are beyond greedy.

George Takei, “Those who ban books fear ideas that set people free. But censorship doesn’t just silence authors—it steals our freedom to learn, to question, to know ourselves and each other. This #BannedBooksWeek, stand up for the freedom to read. Every story matters. Every voice counts.”

🚨 Hamas is TRUSTING Trump as his 'eternal peace' in Gaza turns into a SHAKY CEASEFIRE

This is NOT a peace plan — it's a TEMPORARY ceasefire.

By Middle East correspondent Eric Tlozek

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
Hamas is trusting Trump as his 'eternal peace' in Gaza turns into a shaky ceasefire
With Israel and Hamas not sticking to Donald Trump's proposed "20-point plan", the deal to bring "eternal peace" in the Middle East looks more like a temporary ceasefire.

OMG Grandpa Kankles is so desperate to win the Nobel Peace Prize he’s instructed every MAGA influencer and official to post that he should be the recipient.

How embarrassing that a party has to beg for attention.

Just a note, President Obama never had to beg❤️

If you live in a red state, you’re getting screwed the hardest by Trump and Republicans buddies.
The top 10 states facing the highest projected premium increases are all Republican led.

It’s #BannedBooksWeek! Author Nikkolas Smith reminds us that when they ban books about justice and equality, they reveal their fear—not our failure.
The more they push back, the more creators will rise.
Art is resistance.
Stories are power.
Keep the fight alive.
