deluded Donald

Halloween or Day of the Dead - when it comes to Donald Trump there is no cause for celebration or honor. This man with no soul has been the worst waking nightmare for the US and the rest of the world. BOO! 

All Time Liar in Chief

END OUR NATIONAL CRISIS: 

Donald Trump’s re-election campaign poses the greatest threat to American democracy since World War II.


Mr. Trump’s ruinous tenure already has gravely damaged the United States at home and around the world. He has abused the power of his office and denied the legitimacy of his political opponents, shattering the norms that have bound the nation together for generations. He has subsumed the public interest to the profitability of his business and political interests. He has shown a breathtaking disregard for the lives and liberties of Americans. He is a man unworthy of the office he holds.


The editorial board does not lightly indict a duly elected president. During Mr. Trump’s term, we have called out his racism and his xenophobia. We have critiqued his vandalism of the postwar consensus, a system of alliances and relationships around the globe that cost a great many lives to establish and maintain. We have, again and again, deplored his divisive rhetoric and his malicious attacks on fellow Americans. Yet when the Senate refused to convict the president for obvious abuses of power and obstruction, we counseled his political opponents to focus their outrage on defeating him at the ballot box.


Nov. 3 can be a turning point. This is an election about the country’s future, and what path its citizens wish to choose. ~ The Editorial Board, New York Times

conman in chief

#CommanderInChief. . . .honestly… If I did the things you do, I couldn’t sleep

Trust in Trump?

A broad coalition of American patriots is standing up to end the suffering, end the corruption, and end the presidency of the worst "Commander in Chief" in our country's history.


Vote for change. Vote for her.


We will vote.


He will lose.


He will go.


It's America, or Trump.


Are you with us?

a people united against oppressors

More and more communities recognize the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples' Day - either as a joint celebration on Columbus Day or totally replace it. 

Those more conscious choose to acknowledge and honor the suffering of the colonized and not gloss over the injustices of the colonizer, especially those perpetuated by the contentious Christopher Columbus

Portrait of Chief Yalektit by Robert Shetterly, Americans Who Tell the Truth

Columbus may have formed part of a large narrative of American history, yet he remains emblematic to the beginnings of the mistreatment of native peoples, the indigenous slave trade, the usurpation of their lands, the deaths of their people, the destruction of their cultures, the destruction of their local way of life.

remembering 208,000+ dead

Trump tested positive for COVID-19 and has been admitted at Walter Reed Hospital this weekend. Typically he waited until the stock exchange closed on Friday before tweeting the news. With no one designated to manage the nation in his absence it is understandable that many are feeling frantic.

Today October 4, 2020 - the National COVID-19 Remembrance Project placed 20,000 empty chairs on the Ellipse near the White House to visualize a fraction of the loss of over 200,000 lives to COVID-19 in the past seven months.
