Declare your candidacy for President of the United States on the steps of James Madison's home, where the man who drafted the US Constitution once lived.

#DickCheney promoted a unitary executive. He pushed that agenda from his days in the Nixon administration through his ambitious years as vice president when he truly believed he was above the law. We are where we are in part due to Cheney and that is unforgivable.

As the unitary-executive calls for the starving of tens of millions of Americans, he issues orders to spend billions on new nuclear weapons testing. Rulers who hate their people are a danger to us all.

Will we ever again discuss what is best for the country and not for a political party? Will we ever put people first and stop catering to the political elite & their donors? Will we ever be Americans again?

2 #NATO countries borders are crossed by Russia, Poland and Estonia. It would seem, by statements and actions, the US has already withdrawn, quietly. What say you, America?

The interesting thing about last week's tragic events is how fast extremists get on the same page, use the same language, & go on the attack. They were waiting to pounce, like with executive orders after the swearing in 1/20/25 Strategically impressive nationally damning

remind the #Murdochs of #FoxNews that everyone of their hosts, guests, and on camera personalities represent them and their family. This includes their children and grandchildren. They came to this country were afforded special rights to own TV stations and then trashed the USA. Shame #rupertmurdoch

The MAGA office holders & their supporters know that if they don’t fully consolidate their power that when America returns, they will be tried for treason and jailed. The history of the world, including these divided United States, still bends toward justice

#Florida rid its water of fluoride, will no longer require vaccinations for children, opposes government putting things in or on our bodies. @DeSantis means the "Free State of Florida" is free of government. So, I declare myself free from government. Come for the chalk

#MitchMcconnell opened the floodgates to political upheaval, and no one did anything to stop it. "My number one job is to make Obama a one-term president" He failed at that, but he opened the door to Project 2025 and the end of the US as we know it. Now that's treason.

Trump is making deals left and right. Other nations will have to buy US energy, oil, gas. With all those supplies leaving our shores, how much are you going to pay here at home. Supply and Demand? He is going to gauge Americans and put the difference in his pocket. #GREED

Every time a pendulum swings, we give up our responsibility to learn from history and make the world better. As long as we accept human behavior is immutable, ebbing and flowing like the tide, we accept our inability to foster positive change & the ability to learn Tell them!

No nation and no group have the right to denigrate, dismiss, or dehumanize any other group or nation. Humans are never cockroaches, vermin, or pigs. Dehumanization says more about the dehumanizer than it does about those being dehumanized. There are no excuses. There can never be excuses.

A radical is a radical, right or left. They are catalysts for change & overthrow of the status quo, ultimately, they lead to destruction never forming the nation they promised.

A citizen does more than vote, they engage, they extend a hand to those in need, and they stand up when others are attacked. They ardently support everyone's rights, even in disagreement. They know no one is free until everyone is. Are you a citizen, or just an ostrich?

For all those pushing to limit #Medicaid with the intent of killing our children, watch your backs because we parents will be out for you and your children. Not one billionaire receiving a tax cut will be safe in a nation that doesn't put people first.

Celebrating any president, any figure head, at a time like this is wrong. If we are celebrating, let's celebrate the American People, those who continue to fight for democracy and humanity. We don't need a president or a king to do that. #NationalPeoplesDay
