Do you remember America before Trump?

This teacher was at a Nevada School Board meeting & noticed that one of the CCSD School Board trustees was wearing an Anti-Trans shirt while conducting the meeting so she wrote a speech & got up & let Lorena Biasotti who’s with Moms of Liberty know how she felt & it was amazing.

BREAKING: AG Todd Blanche says that he and Trump will want to "make them whole" in regards to those whom they believe the DOJ was weaponized against (January 6ers).

"There were people who were victims of a Department of Justice that was absolutely weaponized and [Trump] feels very strongly that he would want to make them whole, as do I, but it will not be through the anti-weaponization fund, which again was never set up."

Fantastic sentiment. And timely. Happy 4th. Happy 250th Birthday, America.

New York City Mayor Mamdani just gave one of the most amazing speeches you will ever hear:

"We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, and more powerful than everyone else.

"The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed. We may have walked on the moon. But the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence — that work endures, and it belongs to us all.

"It belongs, too, to our newest Americans: those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I, too, felt what you feel: the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American, too.

"You each hold a special power: the power to determine what America means.

"The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom; where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.

"How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal.

"At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics — and the cheapest.

"But time and again, including 250 years ago, those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress."

Congrats to the Trump White House for becoming the first White House to get a community note for repeating the bald-faced LIE of America's serial lying sociopath president. 😂🤣

Well, Miss Terry. If this administration hadn’t trashed its credibility by murdering Renee Goode after she politely and calmly directed ICE Officers + others to go around her, and then claimed that she was a terrorist who tried to run over government agents, I might agree w/you.

[Miss Terry @missterryous]

BREAKING: On May 29, at the direction of the commander of U.S. Southern Command, Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations.

Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations.

Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. SOUTHCOM is unwavering in its commitment to applying total systemic friction on the cartels.

Ed is full of shit

BREAKING: Trump just blew up a boat in the Pacific Ocean which may or may not have had drugs.

They claim it was a “drug boat” but they’ve been wrong before.

How is this OK?

Imagine if I posted an image of myself holding a rifle with words overtop saying “No Trump,” and a dead Cheetos Puff in the background.

BREAKING: Trump White House plans to hijack 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence into a massive taxpayer-funded Christian Nationalist revival rally!

The event, called “Rededicate 250: National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving,” is being billed as a nine-hour (!) worship service complete with revival-style preaching, testimonies, military bands, and right-wing Christian speakers.

With direct White House involvement, the organizers are pushing the message that America is being “rededicated” as a Christian nation to God.

There’s just one problem: America was never officially dedicated as a Christian nation. The Founders deliberately created a secular government with no religious test for office and no establishment of religion. But facts have never stopped this crowd before.

The lineup is a who’s-who of MAGA Christian Nationalists, including Franklin Graham, Robert Jeffress, Sean Feucht, Eric Metaxas, and Mark Driscoll.

There are virtually no Muslims, no representatives from historically Black churches, no Indigenous faith leaders, and no mainline Protestants. Even the military is being roped in to provide music for the show.

Millions in public dollars earmarked for the national 250th celebration are helping fund this partisan religious rally. The White House is treating a major national commemoration like their personal revival tent, using your tax money to push the message that conservative Christianity is America’s official faith.

Christian Nationalism always tries to wrap their extreme ideology in the flag, claiming victimhood while dominating government events, and pretending the Founders wanted a theocracy when they very clearly did not.

They scream about “religious freedom,” but what they really mean is special treatment and dominance for their version of Christianity at everyone else’s expense.
This grotesque spectacle, if no one can manage to stop it, dishonors the actual spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

It turns a celebration of American independence into a partisan, exclusionary religious show that tells millions of non-Christian, non-religious, and even progressive Christian Americans that they’re second-class citizens in their own country.

America is a nation of religious pluralism and freedom, not a theocracy for one political faction. This dangerous nonsense must be called out.

If this disgusts you, please like and share to spread the word.

BREAKING: YES! Congressman Jamie Raskin demands that the White House physician conduct and release a FULL evaluation of Trump's cognitive health as his dementia symptoms multiply.

This is exactly the kind of pressure campaign we need...

“Experts have repeatedly warned that the President has been exhibiting signs consistent with dementia and cognitive decline. And, in recent days, the country has watched President Trump’s public statements and outbursts turn increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane, deranged, and threatening,” Raskin wrote in a letter to Sean Barbabella, the Navy captain who serves as Trump's doctor.

On Easter, Trump released a profanity-laden rant threatening Iran with nuclear holocaust, vowing that an "entire civilization" would "die" if his demands weren't met. Then, just yesterday, he posted a snuff video of a woman being brutally murdered alongside a rant about "illegal criminal aliens." Whatever little self control he once had has eroded as his cognitive decline has accelerated.

"This is plainly out of the realm of normal politics. When the President of the United States threatens to extinguish a civilization on social media, rants about combat missions with children at the Easter Egg Roll, and drops profane tirades on Easter morning, we have indisputably entered the realm of profound medical difficulty and concern," wrote Raskin.

The congressman is is right to lay out the problem in such blunt terms. The longer that Trump's unraveling mind goes unaddressed, the greater the danger that this country and indeed the entire world finds itself in.

“His apparently deteriorating condition has caused tremendous alarm across the nation (and political spectrum) about the President’s cognitive function and continuing mental fitness for the office of President, and prompted concerns about the President’s wellbeing," Raskin wrote.

“At a time when our country is at war—especially when the war was initiated by the President without congressional declaration or consent—the American people must be able to trust that the Commander-in-Chief has the mental capacity to discharge the essential duties of his office,” he continued.

The letter ended with Raskin presenting his demands in clear, simple terms. With a deadline of 5 PM on April 24th, Raskin asked that Barbabella:

"1. Conduct a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment of the President, including a formal cognitive screening instrument, and publicly release the results."

"2. Provide a detailed report on the President’s current mental and physical health status, including any medications he is currently taking and their potential cognitive side effects."

"3. Make yourself available for a briefing, under oath, with Members of the Committee on the results of this assessment. I look forward to your prompt compliance with this important and urgent over."

Do these seem like reasonable demands to you?

Please ❤️ and share to thank Jamie Raskin!

Holy shit. Even for Trump this is bad.

[Bill Woodson @bwoodson]

Very well stated!

Wow! After Donald Trump mocked Gavin Newsom and other people with dyslexia and learning disabilities, Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, just completely torched him.

The end is the best part.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

I heard some old friends at @PodSaveAmerica were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. https://t.co/R9YUs3C4H4
