President Trump called the woman pictured below a “loser” for being captured. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and DOGE ordered her service history to be deleted from the Department of Defense archives because she was “DEI” and “woke.”

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

DOGE is fake and not a real agency.
Please quit pretending it’s real

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

Heather, wonderful piece today (as always) and just to laugh, I saw this online: DOGE = Destruction Of Government by Elon…..that is the truth! Thank god for Bernie and AOC, my heroes for many years. On April 5, please share widely, the American people will fill the streets of their cities across the United States to protest what tramp and mush (and, of course, Juvenile Delinquent Vance) are doing to the people, who are actually their employers. Millions are expected to raise their voices loud a…
Bernie campaigned on getting excess money out of politics first, and Democrats mocked him for it.
One thing that has held the Democratic back since the 2016 election is the incessant division over Bernie Sanders. The drum beat of resentment from Progressives concerning Bernie has simply got to stop. It has been 9 years. Let it go. We have much work to do.
Barbara, i understand that Bern is not the answer for 2028, but i think the lesson needs to be spoken. Hillary was a democratic mistake in 2026. People wanted change, not more of the same. Change is why we got trump in a populist uprising. Bernie represented change in a progressive direction, he spoke for the people. I as well as many others believe he would have won the 2016 election. There is a lesson there that we should not forget or ignore. Just my opinion.
Sanders is out there working. What activism are you engaged in? I am going to a protest in my town on April 8. What are your plans?
I hear you Barbara, i am interested in your opinions and thoughts. I want positive and intelligent discourse. I do some small part in communicating with my community and financial support of causes supporting democracy. I am rather surprised that you are throwing darts at me as response to a respectful comment that I believe. Seems uncharacteristic? I am sorry to raise your ire. Apologies.
I am not angry. I promote activism. I am desperate to promote activism in the face of a coup d'etat. We are hanging by a thread for our Democracy. You realize the Sanders discussion is 9 years old. You realize people have been hating on and analyzing trump for also 9 years. We lost the 2024 election. Let's move on. I have seen too many long, long, long discussions on forums. It worries me. I promote doing more and talking less. We must hit the streets, not sit at our keyboards.
Did you look at t…
Yes Barbara, i know that 2016 was 9 years ago. I am not promoting the idea of a Sanders campaign. But i am commenting on the loss of the 2024 election. Not sexism, not racism although the themes were prevalent. The loss of both of those elections were a failure of the democratic leadership to not stuff the status quo down our throats. People want change. Bernie and AOC are speaking to that change. The dems have failed to show us that path, which is why so many low information voters went for the Liar. I have voted democrat my whole life, but am currently researching how to change affiliation to independent. Democrats can’t keep people in their tent. That needs to be spoken. Otherwise we are yelling in a shrinking echo chamber.
