This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government.

Lift this up!!!
Just going to reiterate that in 2016 Trump inherited the lowest murder rate of any president in 50 years. He set reality aside, gave his “American Carnage” inaugural address, and was then the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher murder rate than when he started.
...Voters really, really care about controlling immigration and crime. They just do. And if voters don’t think Democrats will take those issues seriously, they elect a garbage human like Trump who will seize the opportunity to expand his own power.

ICE doesn’t get to “accidentally” detain a U.S. citizen. George Retes served this country. Now he’s missing after a violent, illegal arrest. This is how the “veteran loving president” treats veterans! Outrageous!!!!!

Mr. Fetterman, it's really this simple: you're receiving $174,000 a year for a position to which you were elected after asking people to trust that you'd be an unwavering champion for working class families.
I don't give a fuck that you missed your beach trip. Stop whining and get back to work.

Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Fascism is when a leader uses the power of the state to control or coerce private institutions—like Trump has tried to do with universities and private companies such as Apple. His attempts to dictate what schools can teach or how businesses should operate are textbook authoritarianism. Harvard
