MY FORK IN THE ROAD After working for fifty years, I had to choose between sitting back and enjoying retirement or fighting for democracy for my grandchildren's sake. I decided to fight. I now make sure I do at least one form of protest daily.

If I receive $90 from Donald Trump, since I’m on SSDI, I’m going to take that money & give it to organizations like Eric Holder’s All On The Line that stands up to gerrymandering & other organizations that stand up for democracy. It wouldn’t make a dent to my monthly bills for healthcare or food!🔥🔥

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It is often weakened by attacks on the institutions in the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January of 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Get in, folks: a new Russian disinfo campaign is targeting the midterms, specifically Democrats, in what seems to be the first attempt by the Kremlin-backed op to meddle in this year’s U.S. elections. They're faking celebrity videos attacking Dems and are...very stupid. www.ms.now/news/russia-...

A Russian disinformation campaign is doctoring celebrity videos to meddle in the midterms

The Kremlin-backed operation, known as Matryoshka, has Hollywood actors telling voters to disavow the Democratic Party and vote Republican.

A reminder that the number one domestic terror threat in America remains white supremacist and right-wing terrorism. How many times has the Trump Administration talked about this threat? What have they done to stop it? Oh yeah, they're part of MAGA. Nevermind. Let's go after SPLC instead!

The national average gas price is now over $4/gallon — the highest level in four years. Big Oil, which spent almost $100 million backing Trump in 2024, could see a nearly $60B windfall from these price shocks. Trump's buddies will make a killing while you pay the price at the pump.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration's restrictions on journalists at the Pentagon are unconstitutional. The government doesn't get to decide what news the public has access to.
