The National Guard should be home this holiday season. Today together with our allies at Common Defense we asked holiday shoppers to share their reasons why they want the Guard to go home.
Our demand remains: National Guard out NOW.

Trump calls human beings “vermin,” “garbage,” “diseases,” “poison,” and “animals.”
Then, when I rightfully point out that the same dehumanizing language has been used by fascist regimes to justify humanity’s worst atrocities—Republicans lose their minds.
Give me a break.

Can I let you in on a little secret?
Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.
It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

I think he is shitting us with that designer statement. It’s not about taking space and he knows it. Or, if it is, it’s an unintentional commentary on who is allowed to take up space and who isn’t. Because this silhouette at the same time larger models were erased from runway is a real choice

Trump has been firing those who disagree with him, but here’s the thing: He can’t fire us.
He can try to intimidate all he wants, but I’m not going to be bullied.

The silence of congressional Republicans to all the Trump corruption - from his disgusting pardons, to the UAE crypto money, to the Qatari jet, and the ballroom, should be used against all of them in midterms along with their silence on tariffs which has made things unaffordable.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.
