Retired teacher, avid reader, dog lover, knitter. Old enough to have been thru this all in the 60's. Can't believe everything we fought for is gone.

You should be mad about the FBI raiding John Bolton’s house not because you love John Bolton but because you’re opposed to Trump using the FBI to intimidate his critics

So RFK Jr. has pulled funding for mRNA vaccines, because HE doesn't believe in them.
Meanwhile the U.S. is suddenly a 3rd world country begging for help when the next pandemic hits & Europe asks if we’d like fries with our pleas for help.
But hey RFK Jr. sure showed Big Pharma, right?

It's the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, and two things are true at once: The law has never been more under threat, and it's more important than ever to fight for its promise of an equal voice for every citizen.

As of June 15, 71.8% of the 56,397 people in ICE detention had no criminal conviction. It costs taxpayers ~$165/day for a bed in a detention facility.
So we're now paying ~$6.7 million/day to keep people who haven't been convicted of a crime locked in prisons.

I agree with this statement 100%. I have heard similar things.
I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."
That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Texas state Rep. Nate Schatzline said he wanted his children's school to be "celebrated" because it was one of the "least vaccinated" schools in the state. What’s next? Should we find the school with the lowest math scores and throw a pizza party?

🚨 ICE agents in masks and no uniforms abducting people from a Phoenix immigration court - no ID, no explanation, no due process.
This is not law enforcement.
This is authoritarianism.
Demand accountability.
Stay loud.
Stay informed.
Stay safe.
