Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.

That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷‍♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

Bill Clinton needs to come out and admit his involvement and tell all about DT's involvement because HE KNOWS. It's beyond time. I say this as someone who voted for him (and his wife) and respect all he did for the country. Now it's time to help save the country.

They said I had liked so many posts, I might be a bot. Huh??
I guess only real bots allowed. Spent the last few days blocking lots of those that had presumably mutated from X

You cannot see wilderness from a road. What you see from a road is something different- a scene, a panorama, a picture; but you do not feel anything.

Trump bankrupted the farmers through his idiotic tariffs and now he’s going to give them your tax money to make up for his abject stupidity.

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

This week alone:

-Trump called for Democrats in Congress to be hanged.

-Defended the slaughter of a U.S. journalist in front of his killer.

-Surrendered to the murderous Putin who he called a "savvy genius" after his attack on Ukraine.

This guy is the greatest threat to America we've ever known.

#NoKings in San Diego was a helluva party, 50,000 celebrating—while at the same time fearing for—that delicate thing called democracy. But what was our demand? What did we want to get from the march of seven million? What would we recognize as a victory?
