As the ICE Man Cometh, all that is not resistance is collaboration By Dan Luzadder There was no crime scene tape in Texas when immigration agents killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo this month in Houston, nor was there a local homicide investigation in Maine when Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero was gunned down by ICE in cold […]
Trump’s Chaos Is Catching Up: Polls Drop, Allies Crack, and the Odds Turn Against Him
by Bob Gatty If Donald Trump and his Republican butt kissers could do any more to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, I’d like to know what it is. This post just hit my inbox this evening and I thought I’d pass it along, hoping to lighten your mood. It sure made me feel […]
He Promised Peace. Now Americans are Dying
Millions protest nationwide as Trump’s promises clash with reality—war, accountability, and democracy at stake.
No Kings, No Lies: Trump’s Broken Promises Are Why Millions Are Marching Today
From Promises to War—America Pushes Back By Bob Gatty Across the United States today, millions of Americans are taking to the streets in what organizers are calling “No Kings” rallies—a powerful, unmistakable rejection of authoritarianism and a demand for accountability.

THE TRUMP LEGACY: LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES
PART ONE: THE LIES WE SAW WITH OUR OWN EYES—How Trump Trained us to Stop Believing Reality by Mark M.

To Evangelicals
By C J Waldron I’ve read the Bible from cover to cover which is why I’m an atheist. If you think Trump’s a great man, you are not following scripture. He is a con man, an adulterer, a liar, a thief and with the blowing up of boats in the Caribbean, you can add murderer […]
STATE OF THE COUNTRY: Shame on Trump; Shame on Us
