We're quickly coming up on the primary elections for many states - it's in May 19 for us here in Oregon. As an election worker I urge everyone to check their voter registrations now, and to vote as soon as possible before Election Day. If you are a mail-in or absentee voter, it's even more crucial to get your vote in early.
The bills that the Democrats have in place to solve the Republicans issues should slide right through and do just that. No the Republicans are trying to get the Democrats to vote on getting TSA, DHS and some other group funded so they can go back to their lousy normal of doing their job. The kicker to the Republican bill is after that they won't need any Democratic votes to pass the save Act or to fund ice. Listen to what they're saying this is extremely dangerous. It should be a hard no all the way down the line on anything that Republicans put up for a bill because they're going to hide something and it just like they did the big ugly destructive bill
Power is absolute already in this regime. No one should be surprised come November mid terms. All anyone needs to do if any doubt still exists-just look to Russia for the blueprint. Although warnings are out all over the place here. Join the NoKings march this Saturday, we will always need each other & while our voices can still prepare others. #FascismIsHere
Bannon said it was good that people could see ice in the airports. Maybe not what he wants. People won't be afraid of them when it comes to voting. Of course some will be scared but if they go in numbers or with neighbors then it will be harder to intimidate. Ice can't act like they do in the airports because they realize they are way outnumbered. There are millions of eyes on them now and I hope they feel it.
If Bondi perjured herself, why isn’t she facing prosecution right now? Are we so powerless that this scummy administration can simply do whatever they want with no consequences? Does the law mean nothing any more? If so, why bother with legal proceedings when we know they will have no real effect? It is SO frustrating because it feels like we have capitulated already, and are just going though the motions at this point.
Hoping for a huge turn out this Saturday for the PROTESTS. trump won't be swayed but ordinary Americans will see this, people on the fence will see it. News outlets are starting to report upcoming protests, and the ones that have been going on. Not all but way more now than before. We do not have many ways to fight what is going on but we do have ourselves and MAKING OUR VOICES HEARD. Besides, protests are a good way to channel some of the angst we are feeling.
Yes, we are paying at the pump, in our stores, in our utility bills, in our health insurance payments, etc., all in an unprecedented era of economic inequality. But what worries me most is having to pay/having our rights taken away at the voting polls. Once that is taken it will take an uprising revolution to get voting rights back.
Brian, I agree 1000%. The only problem here is, you’re preaching to the choir. This message needs to reach the people that need to hear it rather than the ones who already know it. How do you get this to happen? 🤔
Guess what! the US military is currently hiding from Iranian drones they moved operation from military bases to hotels. We needed some defensive drones, like yesterday. 💥💥💥
We need to do whatever we can to protect our military that have been forced into this war. I think Baron the orange Mussolini's son should be made to join the military forces and join these true heroes on the front line.
The unhappiness in that waiting line photo is unacceptable. There is no reason for this to happen.
I'm pissed off and sick of the waste, fraud and abuse that these Republicans commit. Our lives could be great, with clear skies, clean water, no congestion, decent housing, health care, solid education and reliable utilities. But no, our money has to go to the top 1% of pigs who care nothing for anything but what they can swill.
How galling it must be to stand in line watching ICE pigs (the other kind of pigs) do nothing, knowing our tax dollars pay them to be bullies, to make our lives miserable.
Why would the taxpayers want to pay ICE thugs to stand around polling places, doing nothing?
Republicans are terrified of losing. They know they can't win the people's hearts so they force themselves on everyone. And Trump is their cudgel.
I was starting to say essentially the same thing when I read what you wrote. You said in much better than I was going to! Rape is all about power and the power to torture.
Americans are like the frogs in a pot of boiling water. Donald Trump is normalizing a military police state on the streets of America. This is what fascist Authoritarians do. He is trying to get Americans to accept the loss of Democracy and the acceptance of Dictatorship in the name of "security" and safety. If we accept untrained ICE agents supposedly keeping us safe on the streets of America, then we will easily accepts the Marines. Trump mentioned previously he thought that the streets of America would be the perfect "training grounds" for the military. And guess who controls the military? Donald Trump.
Let me tell you that proving who you are can indeed be complicated and even when you do government makes mistakes. I've been married twice and changed my name to share my husbands both times. Here in Ontario you have to prove that you are a citizen and resident in order to get healthcare. When I went to change my healthcard into my new name I had to provide a copy of my birth certificate, my first marriage certificate, my divorce decree and my second marriage certificate. Okay, I was able to get those together although it was a bit of work AND THEN they spelled my new last name incorrectly on my card! Kill the Save Act.
There are hoping we don't see Trump and Netanyahu are doing in the middle east what Putin is doing to Ukraine? Or that we don't see the degrading the US economy and dollar to shift people's trust over to a crypto economy? Or see Trump sacking countries to steal their natural resources making him richer than he has ever been? The main stream media owned by Trump oligarchs, are lieing about pole number on his polling numbers or we have approximately 36 % of the country with their heads up their cult asses or they are lieing about the poll numbers. I am more hopefull, but we have to get him out now. It won't get better in any way.

Not absolute but on the way.
Bannon said it was good that people could see ice in the airports. Maybe not what he wants. People won't be afraid of them when it comes to voting.

Thank you Brian for reporting on what’s really happening “behind the scenes”. This is exactly what we need.
If Bondi perjured herself, why isn’t she facing prosecution right now? Are we so powerless that this scummy administration can simply do whatever they want with no consequences? Does the law mean nothing any more? If so, why bother with legal proceedings when we know they will have no real effect?

Once a rapist, always a rapist. He’s treating the country exactly how he treats women and most likely underage girls…. It’s unconscionable.
