Heavy on the pro-democracy and pro-justice posts these days with so much at stake. Also post artwork (collage, assemblage, leaded glass), photos I like, nature, animals, astronomy images, and examples of kindness. No DMs or chats

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...donβt trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesnβt bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesnβt create jobs
Folks, weβve seen this all before.
"The White House has blocked the release of a joint intelligence bulletin warning state and local authorities of elevated terror threats stemming from Trump's military assault on Iran, according to the Daily Mail." Looks like Trump wants a terror attack on US Soil www.rawstory.com/trump-terror...
Seriously!
Can we all agree that putting sociopaths in charge is a really bad idea?
β οΈ JUST IN: Staff at the nationβs largest #ICE detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.
I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.
I think the secretary of defense should not be a psychopath
Denver Moved To Arrest Trumpβs Federal Agents. Courts Ordered $175 Billion Returned. 24 States Sued The Regime. Big Tech Blocked. The Resistance Won

Trump is lifting oil sanctions on Russian while theyβre helping Iran target Americans.
Putin definitely has a copy of the Epstein files.
After spending the day talking about college football, Trump heads to Palm Beach for another weekend of golf.

We have a depraved,rogue President who has no boundaries and the GOP IS TOO COWARDLY to put up guardrails like Gen. Milley and Gen. Kelly did. The criminals running our country are now totally okay with our troops dying in an illegal and forever war. Immigrants are dying in our concentration camps.
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
The guardrails in our Constitution exist for a reason.
Urge Congress to oppose any bill that adds funding for this unauthorized, illegal war at aclu.org/war-on-iran-
This.
It makes me ... sad.
#Krasnov needs to go.
Itβs almost as if Trump is a Russian asset with the job of destroying the USA.

Simon Rosenberg: "Democrats should be working towards creating a comprehensive agenda now to address the harms of Trumpβs second term. It can become the basis of our 2026 campaign pitch, and a blueprint for what we do when we gain back power in 2027."
Theirs or his?
Exquisite!

It's horrifying to see US politicians and pundits evoke the 6 US soldiers killed in their unprovoked war of aggression, while ignoring the 1000s of Iranians killed. It assumes that Americans only care about American lives. Which is evil, obviously.

Remember this when Donald Trump tells you we canβt afford health care.
Best way to support the troops would be to not put them in harms' way for a chaotic war of choice.
Pretty simple
No surprise here:
