Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

They don't want us to know. It's that simple.
You can’t have accountable government if agencies stop publishing data needed to evaluate their actions. DHS, ICE, and State have halted core reporting on removals, detentions, and visas. Our assessment warns that suppressing public data is a key autocratic indicator.

Trump Administration Stops Publishing Immigration Data as It Ramps Up Deportations

I loved President Obama. He was a great president. and ethical leader. But he wasn’t perfect.
He didn’t need to be. I wasn’t looking for a savior. I was looking for a competent chief executive who would empower the citizens he served.
That’s the difference between leadership and idol worship.

The Justice Dept. filed a notice of appeal over the preliminary injunction to stop the use of force against press & protestors. So basically the govt. is fighting for the right to use excessive force against its own citizens. This make sense to you? Seriously, it’s crazy. Sheer lunacy! #Trump

Andersen wrote heroines who suffer but also endure. The Little Match Girl, The Girl Who Trod on the Loaf, Thumbelina — all feature storytellers who survive by imagination. These tales shaped how children’s literature portrays resilience. #FairyTaleTuesday

Under Trump, America has backed away from efforts to combat climate change. For the first time in 30 years, no Americans will attend The U.N. summit on climate. Guess who is now the renewable energy leader? CHINA. So much for Making America Great Again! #Trump
