- This worked for Trump in 2016 with Hillary’s email, maybe we should try it too. "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the videos, pictures and emails from the unreleased Epstein files, I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press,"

- My God, what pitiful and disgusting way to think and act.
- This adaptation of the song San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)brought tears to my eyes. The original song brings me back to wonderful feelings of hope, love and peace from the 60’s. The anti-war movement,the summer of peace and love and flower power symbolism.

- Reposted by Doug NelsonIan Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

- Someone posted this on Threads and I thought it is worth sharing here. Unfortunately the pace our country’s of descent into fascist authoritarian rule seems to be accelerating. The Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who are now paid to be the Gestapo Goons of ICE. (1/2)
- Reposted by Doug NelsonSamuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

- Reposted by Doug NelsonThere hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat. The claim collapsed because it’s a cover. Check my latest… open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

- “Hundreds of thousands . . .” Trump just thinks ‘screw the facts’ when it comes to stirring up hatred. Fact: Minnesota has the largest Somali population in the United States with 64,354 Somalis, making up 1.12% of the state’s total population. See—> worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankin...

- Ideally I’d love to see the govt seize Trump’s assets to pay the victims. However, this “great” right leaning SCOTUS has taken that possibility out of consideration.

- To the agents of ICE who call themselves Christian and have decided to accepted “30 pieces of silver” from DHS, ponder this . . . If he walked among us today, it’s hard to imagine Jesus being indifferent to the suffering of refugees or migrants detained, separated from families, or dehumanized.

- We’ve heard that if the GOP has their way in eliminating the ACÁ tax credit many people will not be able to afford health insurance in 2026. This plot graph and chart really shows how significant the increase will be for many citizens.
- I had share a screenshot of this wonderful Instagram post by Pamela Terry. Containing a brilliant quote by Jimmy Carter. How appropriate for the times we now live in here in the US.

- Reposted by Doug NelsonTaken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.
- Some countries just know how to help fellow humans with compassion. The US could be far better if we followed the example of Finland and other progressive countries.
- In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. The country applies the „Housing First“ concept. Homeless receive a small apartment and counselling. 4 out of 5 ppl make their way back into a stable life. All this is cheaper than accepting homelessness. thebetter.news/housing-firs...
