Brave performers are standing up to Trump by cancelling their shows at the Kennedy Center. Now Trump is threatening to destroy artists who cancel. We MUST stand united with these performers! They need to know we have their back. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/we-must-su...
We must support the musician Trump is targeting for refusing to play the “Trump Kennedy Center”

Trump casually mentioned on Monday he directed our military to bomb a location within Venezuela. Trump--like George W. Bush--has fabricated a basis to start a war as a cover to steal oil. We have seen this movie before and it ends horribly for all involved. Will the world sanction Trump?!

Fifty-two years ago, President Richard Nixon signed into law the most important wildlife protection law in the world. The Endangered Species Act works, having saved 99% of the species under its protection from extinction. It is also extremely popular, w/ 9 out of 10 Americans supporting the law.

A man who has never served a day in his life is taking away Veterans' freedom to choose in cases of rape, incest or when the health of the mother is at risk.
Trump is putting millions of Veterans in danger.
And he did it during the holiday season thinking we wouldn’t notice.

Trump’s promise Wednesday to pay troops a “warrior dividend” bonus is actually a military housing stipend already approved by Congress, and not a generous new White House program.
Trump claims credit for military bonus that Congress already approved
The White House’s plans for a “warrior dividend” to reward troops this holiday season are actually housing assistance funds approved this summer.
