Start visualizing it now and roll up your sleeves and make it happen!

Trump’s gaudy gold crap out in front of the White House in large dumpster, including his golden toilet next to the dumpster.

Smokey the bear surrounded by the words “Only You Can Prevent Fascism.”

It’s long past time for Speaker Johnson to do his job and swear in Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. She won on September 23rd that’s 26 days ago.

A new framework has come out, known as QVU, as an alternative to dark matter, that provides some comprehensive tests for its falsifiability. One of those tests it’s already passed quite strongly - the newest 3D wide-binary study.

Johnson is the most mealy-mouthed cowardly worm I’ve ever seen as a Speaker. Truly pathetic.

No Kings Denver speaker Joe Salazar (fmr Dem state rep) tells me they estimate 25-30k gathered in Denver today, similar to the No Kings protest earlier this year. This view is from photographer Cheney Orr for the New York Times. #copolitics

Tomorrow, the pro democracy people in the United States and at least 19 other countries will march in the largest peaceful protest in history.

We the people.

Trump will ALWAYS back down to Putin. It can be no other way since Trump both idolizes and fears Putin.

Just the obvious facts.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

This amazing image by Don Goldman shows the central region of the open cluster NGC 2244 (Caldwell 50), in the heart of the Rosette Nebula (also known as Caldwell 49).

The cluster and nebula lie some 5,000 ly away in Monoceros.

The image depicts the heart of the Rosette Nebula, a vigorous star-forming region. A bright open cluster, NGC 2244, glows at the center, surrounded by intricate gas and dust filaments. Colors highlight specific elements: red for sulfur, green for hydrogen, and blue for oxygen.

There already was an “I Hate America” rally. It was on January 6th, 2021. The President spoke at it.

Also, remember when you’re at the rally you’re joining a long historical list of Americans who have fought against someone trying to be our King.

Absolutely no one is surprised at finding a lot of Chinese parts in Russian UAV’s.

90% of the magnets used in every UAV are made in China - including the UAVs made in Ukraine.

Yes, China has been strategically planning this for decades. It’s one reason Trump has no power over China.

Supreme Court's reactionary cadre poised to eviscerate Voting Rights Act's Section 2, greenlighting GOP maps that obliterate Black districts under partisan pretexts, cementing autocratic hegemony in Dixie. #VotingRights
