Donald Trump: Charlie Kirk "did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagree with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don't want the best for them." In 2023, Kirk called for the execution of Joe Biden.

tRump Admin has already blocked athletes from Africa from entering the country by denying their visas. If that pattern continues, most of the persons of color will be excluded from the competition and granting titles by default rather than by actually being the 'best' in the World. Move it!

The USA is co-host of the World Cup in 2026. However, visitors to the USA face issues getting through customs, being detained, or denied entry b/c Trump pursues a hostile policy towards foreigners. That's why games scheduled in the USA must be boycotted or moved. Join us in calling for a boycott!

This is a critical point, and one the media MUST handle better. Don't want to say this is "trafficking"? OK, say the asylum seekers are being "shipped to foreign prisons without due process." But this is NOT deportation! They are not being returned as free people to their homeland!!

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Josh Shapiro: "I was on a Spanish language radio program in the Allentown area and the host said something really chilling to me -- that he now has to think about what topics he's going to discuss because he's fearful he might offend federal regulators of the president."

Our economic freedoms and civil rights are under attack right now. Over the coming months and years, we're all going to need to work even harder to protect the gains we've made. We need to answer the call to leadership like the tradeswomen of NABTU have.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

About $121 million was cut from pediatric cancer research. The Saddam Hussein ballroom is going to cost more than $220 million. That’s tRump’s priorities and the bribes, oops, donations from corporations show how they truly don’t give a damn about kids.

Each year, nearly 5,000 children are diagnosed with brain tumors, which are the leading cause of pediatric cancer-related death. In August, the Trump administration announced it would stop supporting a federally funded network dedicated to researching these deadly cancers.
