The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
The regime is trying hard to distract from who the real villain in the pandemic disaster was. Probably 80% of the pandemic deaths are directly attributable to Trump's mismanagement and incompetence. Fauci's sin was contradicting the thin-skinned orange toddler.
During the pandemic shutdown, our friends in St. Petersburg, Florida's One City Chorus helped make this music video of Roy Zimmerman's song, "My Vote, My Voice, My Right!" Six years later, with all the active voter suppression, it's is more relevant than ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=46aY...

“Statesmanship is the wise, skillful, and principled management of public affairs and government. It combines deep vision, integrity, and a focus on the common good rather than personal or party gain.“ Can any member of the Trump regime claim to have any? Certainly not Trump, Rubio or Hegseth.
I hope Republicans remember their harassment of Hillary and Dr. Fauci. Because Melania and every criminal around Trump is going to get their turn to sit before congress.
NEW: Taylor Farms is a big player in conservative politics. The company donated $2 million to conservative political groups in 2025 and its CEO has personally donated more than $900,000 to Republican PACs and candidates. It's also spent $810,000 on anti-regulatory lobbying since 2025
Taylor Farms Spent Big on MAGA and Anti-Regulatory Lobbying Before Diarrhea Outbreak
The company donated more than $3.6 million to conservative groups between 2020 and 2025, including $1 million to the MAGA Inc. super PAC.

Here are the good old days MAGA's longing to bring us back to. Mutual assured destruction, segregation, lynchings, environmental lead poisoning, the Cuyahoga River catching fire AGAIN, preventable childhood diseases, polio leg braces, iron lungs, thalidomide babies, 3 B&W TV channels, and butch wax.
The same people who want to sanction Canada for the wildfire smoke have killed federal regulations so they can load the atmosphere with deadly pollutants while cutting cancer research and reducing access to healthcare.
At least since the Banana Wars in the early 20th century, the US has actively suppressed labor movements and conducted regime change to install brutal regimes friendly to US business interests. There's a reason bananas and coffee are so cheap and Americans aren't popular in much of Latin America.
Headline: United Health blows past estimates, hikes earnings outlook as it reins in costs. Interpretation: They're now paying even less on medical claims than when Luigi got angry. Takeaway: It's past time to stop monetizing human suffering and illness and join the actual developed world. #M4A now!
The reason Republicans are so certain that there's election fraud is because they're the ones committing it. Every. Single. Time. And they sincerely believe that since they're dishonest sleazebags, everyone else must be too. Personal integrity is an alien concept to them.
Happy Bastille Day to my Francophile friends! 🇫🇷 Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité! 🇫🇷
RESPECT Every politician should be doing this. Mayor Coffman has spent every Friday night since February sleeping at Aurora, Colorado’s homeless center, serving breakfast in the morning, and learning firsthand what works and what doesn’t.
The national debt is a cash cow for Wall Street. Who collects the interest on that debt? Politicians publicly wring their hands & gnash their teeth over the deficit & the national debt, but won't do a damned thing about it because their K-Street gravy train requires them to maintain the status quo.
I came of age in a divisive era, with National Guardsmen gunning down student protesters, an unpopular war, draft riots, race riots, and while there was the first real environmental awareness, the entire country along with the Cuyahoga River seemed to be on fire.
To repeat: "A.i." in the schools is child abuse. These companies want to turn your kids into incompetent losers who are addicted to their terrible products. Do not let them.

They know how they treated the minority. We just wanna give them free healthcare.
An Independence Day song. Video from 10 years ago, on the Florida Folk Show. When Frank Thomas heard this song, he told Goody, "Girl, you've justified your existence!"

Most religions preach kindness. Not everyone takes the lesson to heart.
This is the new Gilded Age except the wealth gap is even greater!
🦋Rrhae 🇺🇸 I Dissent!🫘 🇺🇦@goldrrhae.bsky.social · last mo.Mark Twain coined the term "Gilded Age" to describe post-Civil War America (roughly 1870–1900). An era that glittered on the surface with rapid industrialization and vast wealth, but was rotten underneath with severe income inequality, political corruption, and exploitation of the working class.
134 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 134 years the problem has only gotten worse.
Small enough to give the Epstein class billionaire pedophiles a wink and a nod, while building the world's largest surveillance and prison systems for everyone else.
If you read the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times 40 years ago, you already knew he was a nasty grifting shitbag. I never watched "The Apprentice" because I knew he was never a "successful business mogul." Just a self-promoting nepo baby involved in shady real estate deals.
