I’m very happy the detention centers and other items are failing gives us all hope. Why do we need detention centers anyway? How many people are we looking at? Or are we looking at centers full of opposition to Trump concentration camps designed to hold us?

There isn’t enough room on our island to support a Trump Center of anything.

Long-term, the detention centers could be concentration camps for disabled people or any other people the regime regards as undesirable. RFK Jr has talked about education camps more than once.

Oh, yeah - they definitely want to throw dissenters into their hell holes. Hence, the increased surveillance being put in place via phones, computers, etc.

Our city is fighting a data center now. Any time city officials are required to sign NDA'S so the citizens don't find out what's in the planning, it's bound to be harmful.

🚨 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.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how power actually moves.

It’s not always dramatic or loud. Sometimes it’s a packed fire hall in Trump country. Sometimes it’s voters showing up and replacing the people who were supposed to represent them.

This week felt like a reminder that the people in charge only stay in charge if we keep letting them.

Posters, such as you, SHARE! You share FACTS and INFORMATION....you get other people THINKING....you build the courage we're seeing.

When people replace an entire City Council, it restores their belief that THEY have to POWER to control their COMMUNITY....not a few elected officials.

Thank you for all you do!

One grandmother in Pennsylvania just helped kill a $38 billion detention plan.

Voters in Virginia threw out an entire city council that was selling them out.

And Trump’s closest ally in Europe publicly called him a liar.

Small acts of refusal are adding up fast.

One battle after another. And we're winning almost all of them.

But we are going to have to do more and better! tRump’s assessment of America and Americans was hideously flawed from the get-go. He stupidly handed the Democrats their negative talking points for the election - corruption and incompetence! That’s enough to run against him and the entire rethuglican agenda. But it is time for us to lean on our Democratic Congress Critters to come up with positive talking points. They need to tell voters how they are going to fix what the rethugs broke. Both in the Constitution and in the US Statutes. We need to light a fire under them and hold their feet to it! There is much badness scheduled for next year. The destruction of our healthcare system, such as it is, is in their gunsights!

RO KHANNA has already tossed "TOSSED THE FIRST GRENADE INTO THE 2028 DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY" as the great writer, Adrian Quarrasquillo, for the Never-Trumpers at "The Bulwark" put it in their Substack of May 29th (I restacked it, if you want to take a quick peek while on your way to read his Wikipedia page) You'll see somebody who is, hopefully, going to be our Speaker of the House & then our next President NEXT YEAR!

A continuing increase in our number of PATRIOTS FOR PROGRESS is hopefully what we are experiencing! If you haven't already, COME JOIN THE GOOD TROUBLE!

Thank you Scott

Great Article;

Excerpt

Meloni called his bluff and lost nothing that mattered. Every world leader watching just learned the same thing: Trump’s power depends on fear. Stand your ground, and suddenly he’s exposed—just a bully with a megaphone.

The MASSIVE CORRUPTION CONTINUES!!! The PROBLEM is ICE is still out here in America. They just raided a work site of roofers in Brainerd, Minnesota about a week ago. They are ABOUT to Re-Open a long dormant Prison in Appleton, Minnesota run by one of the WORST Private Prison Companies in America - CoreCivic!!!!!!!! Because the Republicans in Congress have given ICE and CBP more money and a bigger budget than EVERY law enforcement agency in America. All directed by the HATE of Stephen Miller!!! All the more reason to vote out EVERY SINGLE Republican in America and begin the process of dismantling the Evil Empire of Trump and his Swamp Monsters who HATE America and all it stands for and drive them out!!!

It is important to keep this issue front and centre. Not easy, of course, with all the (mostly deliberate) distractions.

Sandy S's avatar

Murray I encourage you to use the links Scott has provided to contact your congress people. It may not sound like much, but with all of us letting our Congress people know what our concerns are, things will change. I have received emails back from my Congress people that go into detail about their views and welcome more communication. You can even pass the links on to other people in your community.

I would also suggest that you ask your state Attorney General to attend a community meeting for help with concerns about how this Data Center will effect property value and how it can be stopped. You can also use the phone to leave messages about your concerns.

And here's a link with lots of info on how people are fighting back and maps of how prevalent these Data Centers have become.

MASSACHUSETTS has a gaggle of WEALTHY TRUMPERS running for Governor who in response to the EXECUTIONS of US CITIZENS in MINNEAPOLIS claimed they would wait for the REPORT that ICE GESTAPO is obstructing. The Chair of the MASS GOP, AMY CARNAVALE stated "WE SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT" as if ICE GESTAPO THUGS are 'law enforcement.'

NO REPUBLICANS ARE CONDEMNING THESE ACTS!

ICE GESTAPO have arrested and detained US CITIZENS...as well as DETAINING CHILDREN.

REPUBLICANS FUNDED ICE!

DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?

Murray Smart's avatar

Yes, Republicans Whine and Bitch and Brag over and over and over that they "support law enforcement" but really do not! If "law enforcement" gets in their way then they throw even "law enforcement" under the bus. That is just another of their LIES that they repeat and repeat and repeat, that their actions tell another story. Wealthy support Trump because he and they are working in Cahoots with each other to LOOT and STEAL our Money and put it in their pockets - and use the distractions to con even their own supporters as they STEAL and LOOT their money from them as well. Solution - vote every single one of them out and do NOT support any politician who refuses to stand up to the 80 year old 2 year old and support the People of America.

MAGA has destroyed the REPUBLICAN PARTY!

Once upon a time, REPUBLICANS were a real PARTY, with reasonable leadership, but those days are long gone.

I grew up in ROCKERFELLER New York.

DIRTY ENERGY KOCH united the wealthy to create ANONYMOUS PACS so no one is revealed and their LIES and PROPAGANDA are unchallenged.

The WEALTHY DARK MONEY & ANONYMOUS PACS flood elections.....

Even in NEW HAMPSHIRE, SUNUNU is a DIRTY ENERGY KOCH SOCK PUPPET prepared to genuflect if elected. DONORS connected to EPSTEIN.

TRUMP TURDS have destroyed the ECONOMIC future of the US and you don't hear a single REPUBLICAN protest...your grandchildren won't live long enough to pay this down!

Look at the GRAPH on this site:

We the people get closer each day to finally draining the green swamp!!!!!

Does the green reflection pool drain into the green swamp? I have so many questions!

Trump can't even defeat a single celled organism, much less Iran. 🙄

He probably doesn't even know how to inject Lysol into his brain anymore.

I have always maintained that it is a SEWER - not a swamp. Swamps are actually living ecosystems as opposed to the putrid regime and its sycophants.

I hope that the midterms reflect how 67 percent of the country feels about TRump's job performance and all of the stupid, unnecessary and costly projects he takes on (then destroys) but I have no faith that TRump's loyal followers will do the right thing and vote the RepubliCons out of Congress who are continuing to allow TRump to do whatever he wants without any push back. As far as the data centers in prison camps go, every community needs to be standing up against this regime's takeover of small towns which would be seriously, negatively impacted. Down here near Palm Springs there's already people in three cities, Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, and Coachella, who are fighting the developers of these centers, with Coachella already putting a moratorium on them for a year. There needs to be a permanent moratorium on data centers here in the desert! ONWARD!!!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

I dint like Meloni's politics, but I admire any leader who stands up to Trump right to his face.

Guessing without a signed contract there’s no liability on the contractor as I’m sure they did not post a bond.

Does actually redoing the work on the Reflection Pool mean that taxpayers are going to pay another $15 million?

Scott, I’m a loyal follower and wait for your daily post. But today one thing struck me. “… a 53 year old grandmother and Amazon warehouse worker…” Maybe she asked to be identified first as a grandmother. If not, why lead with that? I’m tired of older women being almost universally titled that way.

The mid Terms are looking more hopeful every day. Thanks to many Reds and Blues determined to get rid of Trump for the good of all of us. There are no detention or data centers planned in my area.
