Yesterday, a retired white neighbor finally removed his Trump 2020 and Don’t blame me- I voted for Trump signs that have been up since he was defeated by Joe Biden. Only a matter of months since his hero’s return and the only thing now on display is an American flag. Careful what you wish for.

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.
Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence

National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.

This won’t go well—we love our parks.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Is the “plan” to start with the most outrageous anti choice for all positions so that the 2nd choice is viewed as reasonable and competent?

Through executive order, President Biden should mandate that the FBI conduct background investigations on Trump’s picks and instruct the FBI to begin the process now. The U.S. Senate should use its power to request the same of the FBI.
