Day 184 of White House Occupation and Government Takeover
It is time to stop worrying about how to label the people of Gaza. THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS, JUST LIKE YOU OR I, AND WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE IS ALL INHUMANE AND NEEDS TO STOP! Sorry for yelling, but Israel is all wrong with what they are doing and, no surprise, Trump is also wrong for arming Israel. #resist #PeaceNow #StopGenocide

Louis Rossmann is a hero. More of us should take this kind of direct action. Standing up, resisting, this is the way we make things better. We work together because no one is going to save us from a system that seeks to maximize profit at every possibility.

We save us.

The Trump admin can assemble, org, & release lg groups of govt files: MLK...

The failure🚨of the attempted coverup would show resistance to a govt based on lies on behalf of the strongman. Failure: in terms of the mat coming out or Trump paying a sig pol price for the coverup, would in turn encourage further resistance to authoritarianism.

The coverup: an unexpectedly crucial battle in that struggle, & a test of our resolve in that fight.

The Bulwark · Why the Epstein Coverup MattersBy William Kristol

Please copy and paste onto the websites of your members of Congress and share with friends.

This Republican Administration has been in power for six months. During that time, one trend has become obvious -- Trump does not care about Republicans serving in Congress, nor any of the people who voted for him. Members of Congress who acquiesce to Trump's demands get treated with even more contempt. Trump will do whatever he deems is in his best interest and will sacrifice any or all of them without a second thought.

I want you to follow the example set by Maine Governor Janet Mills, by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and by Senator Cory Booker to stand up, use strong, factually accurate language, and cite specific examples when Republicans have promised one thing to their constituents and another in legislation. We want strong, assertive leadership from you, and we want you to get loud.

We need all of this documented in detail every day. Put a running tally on your congressional website. Get the documentation in local newspapers in Republican-leaning parts of the state. We need every lie, every reversal of position, and every caving-in on critical issues in the news constantly.

This is not about the midterm elections. This is not about gathering fodder for campaign commercials. This is about factual accuracy and policy issues that we care about. Keep it simple, factual, and focused on the harm being done to all Americans by this administration.

Naître, subir des coups à chaque envie et besoin de grandir, se tordre et continuer de grandir même de travers.
S'élever vers la lumière même si le bûcheron est ton père.
S'enraciner en forêt même si ta mère arrache tes branches.
Vivre car tu es en vie même si eux l'ont oublié.

Trump Posts Fake Video Showing Obama Arrest

The fake video purports to show F.B.I. agents bursting into the meeting, pushing Mr. Obama into a kneeling position and putting him in handcuffs as Mr. Trump looks on smiling, while the song “Y.M.C.A.” by the Village People plays. Later, the fake video shows Mr. Obama in an orange jumpsuit pacing in a cell.

trump is truly a sick man.

The fake video appears to be manipulated footage of an Oval Office meeting in November 2016 between then President Obama and Mr. Trump.

A creek with atomic waste from WWII is linked to increased cancer risk
Children who lived near a St. Louis creek polluted with radioactive atomic bomb waste from the 1940s through the 1960s were more likely to be diagnosed with cancer over their lifetimes than children who lived farther from the waterway, a new study has found.

trump's funding cuts for research and the closure of epa's research section reduce the likelihood of important studies like this in the future.
