We need justice for all: not just men, but also women; not just white, but POC; not just Christians, but others & Atheists; not just Jews but Palestinians; not just the wealthy but the poor; not just citizens but aliens; not just straight but LGBTQ.

With voting underway, the Trump administration is trying to stop ballots from being counted, sending federal agents to voters’ homes, and threatening election officials with prosecution. https://t.co/xH2ZWmGh1t

A 21-year-old was abducted from his home in the middle of the night and held for a year without charge.

Israel killed a Palestinian hostage—and the media couldn’t care less.

This Forbes investigation is a must-read.

Donald Trump pulled in roughly $1.4 billion from crypto in 2025, plus more than $200 million from real estate, and faced a projected tax bill north of $500 million. So his company donated the "development rights" to his Jupiter, Florida golf course to a land trust, argued the course was a natural habitat worth protecting, and kept right on running the club. Forbes estimates the write-off could land around $825 million.

He has done this at least five times since 2005. New York's attorney general alleged two of those appraisals were inflated. In Doral, he claimed a deduction of up to $323 million, more than double what he paid for the entire resort.

A month after the Jupiter deal, he sued the IRS. The settlement his own Justice Department signed bars claims against him over matters that "could be pending," language that appears broad enough to cover this year's taxes. A federal judge found the case was brought to manipulate the judicial process. And the man now running the IRS, who took the job as this deal was being assembled, has a home backing onto those same Jupiter fairways.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody should be able to use the presidency to write his own tax bill.

Woman in ad who said a Democrat endangers kids pleaded guilty to endangering kids

Shellie Flockhart, who called Iowa Democratic House candidate Sarah Trone Garriott “dangerous” for kids, pleaded guilty after authorities said she drove drunk with her children in the car in 2017.

1. The Justice Department has no standing to sue election authorities in Alaska.
2. The Constitution empowers states to administer congressional elections.
3. Alaska's courts have already addressed and solved the issue.
4. And what about the voters who mistakenly thought they were voting for challenger Sullivan instead of Senator Sullivan?
5. As ever, it's a Trumpian press-release lawsuit designed to intimidate and inflame.

[Sol @forwardarc]

I am not surprised. It is the same State Department under @JoeBiden led by @ABlinken who personally suppressed a State Department report which showed Israel was committing war crimes using US weapons. These people are complicit in war crimes & genocide and deserve to prosecuted by the ICC & severely punished.

Is it normal to have such a huge difference between what was reproted berfore and the actual, or was someone cooking up the numbers on the orders of Trump?

[Sol @forwardarc]

I tweeted this in 2019. Unfortunately Trump shreded this effective nuclear agreement during his first term instructed by Netanyahu and serving as his useful idiot. And during his second term, he started his idiotic and costly war with Iran, again serving as Netanyahu's useful idiot.

@forwardarc Further proof we can trust NOTHING from this fascist administration.

While Trump is failing everywhere, Obama achieved a huge diplomatic deal: the Iran Nuclear deal which eliminated 15,000 lbs of enriched uranium & 12,000 centrifuges, extended Iran's breakout time to a bomb by more than 10 months, & added intrusive inspections.@realDonaldTrump

The idiotic war launched by Trump acting as Netanyahu's useful idiot is isolating the US even from our closest Middle Eastern and European allies.

When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs.

After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

Notably, Trump’s MAGA DOJ is not only still fighting the release of key Trump/Epstein files, but refusing to cooperate in this investigation.

@Heidiphotos is a hero on exposing Zionist terrorism. But she is an exception: most in MSM look the other way. I am not sure why. Is it Islamaphobia? Censorship by top brass? Fear of being called "anti-semetic" by the powerful pro-apartheid, pro-genocide Israel lobby????

@SenatorTimScott . Shame on you for hateful, smear campagin against an honoralbe American citizen. In the olden days, you would have been labeled a pitiful "house negro" for the white supremacists.

As descendant of slaves who were subjected to hate and violence, where is your moral compas?

[Sol @forwardarc]

Our historic democracy has already been seriously eroded by decisions of the right-wing, white Christian supremacist supermajority on the Supreme Court, which has dismantled key voting rights protections, weakened the separation of church and state, opened the floodgates for billionaires to influence elections, and granted Trump sweeping immunity for official acts, effectively enabling him to act with impunity and govern like an autocrat.
