“The upcoming No Kings has set off klaxons for Republican lawmakers…Some in party leadership are going further by branding it a pro-terrorism demonstration—an unambiguously false allegation meant to get ahead of a potentially massive protest against the president.”

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

If she would have won:
*Our young people would be able to buy home and start a family, if they wanted
*We won't have rising costs
*Thugs in masks wouldn't be roaming the streets shooting Ministers in the head, zip tying naked children, shooting family dogs
*All the pedophiles would be in prison

We can't pay our troops, we can't pay federal workers, we have to give money to dictators, starve our needy citizens, throw seniors and disabled under the bus, WHY? you ask, because Thune & Johnson and all the republicans must be pedophiles. Nothing else makes sense.

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. nokings.org

Please stand for Universal Health Care anything less is not sufficient.
Basically the negotiation is who gets health care, well I pay for Medicare, never go to the doctors and now have to use what is left of my savings for the dentist.
It's all a scam. And it is all unnecessary.

Jennifer @undertheoak.bsky.social · 1d

Question:
If we can give $20 billion to Argentina, refit a jet that is a personal gift to trump, pay for all of his golf vacations, allow the house Republicans to get paid with full benefits & not work, then why the heck to we need to compromise?
The only vote should be for Universal Health Care.

That's a darn shame.

But you know what? This corrupt lying criminal rapist, who is also a pedophile, should be in prison & all the treasure that he, his family & administration has stolen from us Americans needs to be returned, immediately!
Mike Johnson, get your ass back to work!
