People don’t just want financial literacy, they need a sustainable living wage. People don’t just want subsidized housing and food stamps, they need housing and food as human rights. People don’t just want lower health care costs, they need their tax dollars to guarantee healthcare access. People don’t need lectures on how to navigate an exploitative system, they demand an affordable system that caters to them, not to billionaires. Period.
Trump issued an Executive Order to "remove divisive anti-American content" from museums, & now US Holocaust Museum is "temporarily" removing an exhibit on how the US Government rejected Jewish refugees from escaping Nazi genocide. (Oh, and remember, the Govt gladly gave visas to actual literal Nazis). But yeah, I'm sure this is all a coincidence and not fascism whitewashing one of the most cruel policies of American history that is now being revived against refugees from Afghanistan and Gaza.
A reminder that Red states have a 40% higher murder rate than do Blue states, so if Trump *actually* wanted to pretend he was protecting Americans he’d have the National Guard occupy Red states not Blue states. And if you claim “Red states are only more violent because of Blue cities,” then you’ll have to explain why Blue cities in Blue states don’t make them even more violent. Stop sanitizing military occupation. Start rejecting Trump’s fascist federal government takeover of our lives.
A Florida court detained a US Citizen of Latino ethnicity for being an "illegal immigrant." He showed the court proof of citizenship. The court agreed he's a Citizen—but held him in jail anyway. As a human rights lawyer, I criticized the ruling online as unjust. For my online critique, a Florida Chief judge filed a formal bar complaint to try to strip me of my law license. I've had to spend nearly $10,000 in fees to fight back:
Something historic is happening—and no surprise—corporate media is ignoring it. Right now, boats representing activists from 44 different countries are setting sail toward Gaza as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla—the largest civilian maritime mission ever launched to break Israel’s illegal blockade. It is a global, nonviolent response to the genocide of the Palestinian people. Here's how you can get involved:
Remember when Trump trotted out an innocent Black child who was a cancer patient, like he was a prop, and then MAGAs pretended to be offended when we didn't celebrate that publicity stunt? Yeah...Trump's fascist policies have defunded pediatric brain cancer research. MAGA wants Structural Eugenics image
Marco Rubio has denied Palestinian diplomats visas to attend the UN General Assembly meeting claiming "terrorism"—despite them having nothing to do with Hamas—but is granting access to Israeli officials despite undeniable evidence of war crimes, genocide, famine, bombing Christians in church, double tap bombing journalists and aid workers, killing 1500+ civilians seeking aid, and child sexual abuse and prisoner rape by IDF soldiers. This is what fascism looks like.
DNC Chair Ken Martin killed the resolution stop arms to Israel claiming, "The party is deeply divided, we need time for dialogue." The party is not deeply divided, Ken. You're deeply disconnected. When 92% of Democratic Party voters are telling you that we want to STOP arming Israel, and you refuse to act, there's no division, there's only complicity. There's nothing left to debate. Muster the courage. Show that we are the anti-war, pro justice, pro humanity party. Stop Funding Genocide.
Emmett Till would've turned 84 today. He was only 14 when white supremacist terrorists horrifically murdered him. The white woman Carolyn Bryant Donham who accused him of harassing her later confessed she lied. The warrant for her arrest was never enforced. She died only 2 years ago in 2023 at the age of 88. White supremacy terrorism isn't ancient history. It's not even history. It's contemporary reality.
The horrific shooting at a MN Catholic school is another reminder that since 1999, American has seen 2,000+ (yes, thousand) shootings in houses of worship. I don't want to hear a word from MAGA extremists who claim mass shootings happen b/c "we've taken God out of school." It's not God out of schools that's the problem, it's NRA & gun lobby money in your coffers that is.
