The Trump administration just reclassified entire care-economy fields - nursing, teachers, speech therapy, PT, OT, audiology - as “nonprofessional.” This isn’t policy. It’s sabotage. A nation that devalues its caregivers is a nation preparing for collapse. www.facebook.com/share/p/1BFZ...

DOGE didn’t die. It was buried. And beneath the headstone lies every lie Musk and Trump sold America, every service they gutted every child lost when USAID food lines went dark. A department built on cruelty remembered for its dead. We can’t let this fade. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1AWs...

Ohio’s HB 486, “Charlie Kirk American Heritage Act” bill it’s a Christian nationalist test case A gerrymandered legislature is trying to turn public schools into factories of obedience not education If we don’t stop it in Ohio this blueprint goes national Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/17b4...

Mamdani walked into the Oval Office and made the strongman bend Trump echoed his housing plan backed his affordability agenda even shrugged off being called a fascist Authoritarians rely on fear Mamdani didn’t bring any And in that moment the illusion cracked

MTG’s resignation isn’t a loss It’s the end of a career built on cruelty, chaos and conspiracy She weakened institutions, spread hate and fled the moment Trump turned on her This isn’t tragedy It’s accountability America won’t mourn her exit It will exhale Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1EAP...

A prosecutor admitted the Comey indictment was never shown to the grand jury. Not flawed. Fake. A forged voice of the People. This is authoritarianism in plain sight. If a president can invent an indictment for him, he can invent one for anyone. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1C6E...

Nasrin Sotoudeh has faced prison, hunger strikes, and a 38-year sentence for defending women and dissidents. Iran tried to silence her. She refused. “I will continue to defend human rights as long as I live.” A heroine they could not break. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1W6Z...

The swastika hasn’t changed. The noose hasn’t changed. The Confederate flag hasn’t changed. What’s changing is us. When a U.S. service branch downgrades symbols of hatred to “divisive,” it isn’t paperwork. It’s a warning. Our red line just moved. Will we? Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/18Bh...

Hours after my last piece, Trump proved the point. He called for Democratic lawmakers to be executed for defending the Constitution. This is the moment no democracy survives. Silence is consent. Congress must act now. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/19ti...

Trump rolls out the red carpet for MBS, a man the CIA says ordered a journalist’s murder, yet the GOP calls Zohran Mamdani - a democratically elected mayor and son of refugees - the real threat. Their fear isn’t foreign influence. It’s democracy itself. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1BRw...

Mary Bruce asked the questions power wanted to avoid. Trump lashed out, mocked her, and then called for ABC’s broadcast license to be revoked. Courage in journalism is still alive, and the backlash proved exactly why those questions had to be asked. www.facebook.com/share/p/1Bvh...

Congress voted to release the Epstein files then quietly built the machinery to bury them National security loopholes, new DOJ investigations and staged subpoenas are the coverup The vote was not transparency It was the setup Do not let them bury this again Read more www.facebook.com/share/p/1Cdt...

Megyn Kelly did more than excuse predators. She made herself useful to the wealthy men who relied on Epstein to supply and silence victims. When people start grading which children count as victims, the nation is already in collapse. A child is a child. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/17RS...

The sudden Trump reversal on the Epstein files is not courage. It is calculation. For nearly a year, his DOJ buried evidence, stalled Congress, and fought transparency at every turn. Now that the House has the votes, he pretends he has “nothing to hide.”

A fallen American flag on White House grounds - and Trump walks past without a glance. That’s his presidency in one frame. The patriotism is all performance. When the cameras aren’t rolling and the moment calls for respect, he has none. Only loyalty to himself.

Krystyna Skarbek defied the Reich armed only with wit and will. Her courage saved lives and shamed empires. In Trump’s America, where protest is punished, her message endures: courage matters more than permission. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/16Yw...

The center calls it “radical” to demand what every worker deserves: dignity, a living wage, and healthcare for all.
FDR proved left populism can win. The modern Democrats proved what happens when they abandon it.
Mamdani’s victory is just the beginning.

Last night, democracy answered back.
Voters from California to New York refused to bow to fear, corruption, or fascism.
They stood in line for hours and reminded the world: power still belongs to the people.

The dawn Eugene Debs imagined is rising again. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1AeK...

Dick Cheney is dead at 84.
He didn’t die in disgrace, though he should have.

He taught America to work “the dark side” - and Trump turned it into policy.

Cheney is gone, but his shadow still governs. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/17Z4...

Trump didn’t break journalism. The billionaires who bought it did. When 60 Minutes let him lie without challenge, it wasn’t an interview -it was obedience on camera. The oligarchs no longer just influence the news. They own the truth. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/17dt...

SCOTUS will soon decide if a president can tax the nation without Congress Billions in tariffs hang in the balance along with the very idea of checks and balances A “gerrymander ruling” could let Trump win while pretending the Constitution still stands
