Retired on 24 acres mid coast Maine, growing as much food as the short season allows. As a teen in the late 60's and 70's I believed the old white male power structure was on the way out. So disheartening to see where we are now but the fight goes on!

Trump is losing on policy and the law. But he’s winning on power.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking.
No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated.
Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian."
THIS is why Pride is important.

Trump wants 1 million deported, but despite his lies there aren't many murderers and rapists. Instead, they arrest teens for Driving While Brown, or use a ploy to disappear refugees who come to immigration court

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

We acknowledge that many are not comfortable calling out Israel, whether its due to guilt or sycophancy, the point isn’t to attack Israel for their identity but actions & supremacist ideology. Israel is committing war crimes, land theft, and genocide. It doesn’t matter why, only that it stops.

The Trump - Putin call ended in the usual bullshit, nothing substantial was agreed or moved forward. Trump isn't looking for peace, he's looking for a trade deal. This is about US and Russian oligarchs wanting to establish businesses, grab resources, and remove sanctions.

BREAKING: The TRUMP DOJ has just charged Rep. LaMonica McIver-the woman in red --for "assaulting" LEOs at a NJ ICE facility.
McIver is the first federal official targeted by the Trump regime as they aggressively pursue prosecutions of politicians who oppose Trump deportation policies.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

ive long held this view but the problem the post-clinton democratic party has is that it genuinely doesn't believe in anything. everything's negotiable, they're happy to veer rightward on crime, immigration, trans rights, fuck over labor, whatever they feel they need to roll over on they'll do it

They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.
Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.
No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

I agree it is absolutely unfair to compare ICE to Gestapo when ICE has worked so hard to commit their own independent atrocities like 5000+ credible complaints of ICE sexually abusing migrant children and numerous cases of ICE deporting US citizen children while they were getting cancer treatment.
