🚨 TAKE ACTION: The nation's top law enforcement officer should not be the Trump's personal criminal defense attorney. It's a massive conflict of interest.

β€œIf there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” - Frederick Douglass

I really need these Saturday roundups.

It’s not perfect out there, but there are still real wins happening. Grateful for this kind of reporting and for everything this community does to fight back!

What a wonderful slap in the face to see Georgia turn against Drumpf.

And it must have humiliated him so much to see his name come off the Kennedy Center that he is hiding it under a trumptarp.

And as someone just pointed out, how do we know it’s been removed?

I have seen photos taken from behind the tarp and they are down

They keep trying to ram things through. We keep stopping them. They don’t want people seeing this momentum, so you know what to do!

Linda Myers's avatar

How do we know the filthy letters are down from the Kennedy Center? Until they are forced to remove the stupid tarps, we won’t know.

#9 Another loss for the bloviating person in charge: trump brings the swamp to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.

Truth! Such a nasty mess now 😒

Sherrill Cannon's avatar

Petty Baby t is trying to keep the name of the Kennedy Center β€œunder wraps”… Probably is unaware that he’s highlighting the absence of his unqualified name!!!

Joanne Steacie's avatar

Good point, Sherrill. "Awareness" is not his thing for sure.

Yay for wind farms. The more the better!!

I fully suppoort the Artificial Intelligence Data Center moratoriumAct sponsored by Bernie and Alexandra. each center employs 12-13 people, uses vast resources especially,water, creates sound pollution, & devalues homes and communities. In other words they take way more than they give anfdfor what? they are used to store every person in this country's data bank and spy on U.S. citizens and let AI write poetry or rewrite homework? I heard a man called it extraction. they extract from the commuunity with no reward

As glad as I am about these stories, the one that concerns me is the DOJ memo on the 1999 Olmstead Decision. The memo was issued on Thursday, right before the long weekend. This is my org's official statement on the memo

Thank you for raising this. So many of us may not otherwise have been aware. I hope you are reaching out to the Congress among others. Thank you for your work.

I am contacting my contacts on Monday.

Thank you!

This is consistent with Trump's attitude, as well as HITLER'S.
