Donald Trump has declared war on the citizens of the United States, beginning with cities. Chuck Edwards voted with the rest of the GOP house to fund Trump's private ICE/HSI army. Shame on the GOP, cutting health funding to give $75 billion+ to that army.
The whole world is watching, and nauseated.

So Hegseth wants to ban beards, including stopping religious exemptions. If he thinks a bearded Sikh man is incompatible with his “warrior culture,” he doesn’t know jack about Sikh faith or history. He doesn’t know that the Sikhs have the OG warrior culture.
What an idiot.
What an idiot.

My heart is breaking for LA, for my beloved California, and for my country. Trump is behaving outrageously, and trying to create an excuse for declaring martial law. God/dess forbid.

Just so we understand what this is and what it isn't but also knowing all of it is Trump's precursor to go after a bigger target: Elections 2026.

@michaelsteele.bsky.social on image of Trump in papal regalia: "...this affirms how unserious and incapable he is. At 78 he remains a 10yo child, emotionally scarred and broken while desperate to prove he could be somebody. His problem: he can’t grow up to prove it."

Of all the US media, PBS and NPR are recognized as the LEAST politically biased.
The fact that they speak the truth, as best they can, is what drives the orange guy crazy.😡

"Speaking...in August 2024, [Pope] Francis stated that 'it needs to be said clearly: There are those who systematically work by all means to drive away migrants, and this, when done knowingly and deliberately, is a grave sin.'"
Rest in peace, good and faithful servant. #Mt25:40

This was fun! Honored to be with sisters from Womansong to help lead the crowd in song.
One of the best pics of the crowd today at the Hands Off protest at #Asheville Pack Square Park from ABC News. 7.5 to 10K filled up all of Pack Square and onto the sidewalks lining the park up to Biltmore Ave. 600K+ nationwide. Bigger than FOTUS 1st inaugural crowd.
