On the side of your finger, next to the fingernail, the skin pokes out a little. Humans evolved this trait to push the close ad button.

Trump has been nothing but a financial, political, and spiritual burden on the United States! What has he ever done, besides give the 1% a giant tax cut adding $5 trillion to the deficit, beneficial for this nation? Honestly! I’d like to know. He inherited a great economy that Obama and Biden spent 8 years fixing from Bush Jr’s catastrophic failures. By the time Trump left office we had record high unemployment, economy in the tank, inflation on the rise. I hear maga say Obama was the most divisive president of all time?! To that I say BULLSHIT!!! He was only divisive if you were a racist. Which apparently is a lot of people.

The only thing Trump has done is grift off this nation, shred the constitution, rig SCOTUS, destroy our reputation, ruin the economy, sell our secrets to Russia, divide this nation like never before, and make a mockery of all who died to protect the rights and freedoms granted to us. So if you hate America, he did quite a bit I suppose.

When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

"He is an old friend with whom I have often had occasion to labor on many a knotty problem, and in whose abilities and steadiness I always found great cause to confide."

-- John Adams, on Thomas Jefferson, 1784

•••

"It is with much reluctance that I am obliged to look upon him as a man whose mind if warped by prejudice and so blinded by ignorance as to be unfit for the office he holds. However wise and scientific as a philosopher, as a politician he is a child and a dupe of party."

-- President John Adams, on his Vice President Thomas Jefferson, 1797

•••

"I always loved Jefferson, and still love him."

-- Former President John Adams, expressing his fondness for former President Thomas Jefferson to Edward Coles, which ultimately led to the two former Presidents rekindling their friendship and beginning a remarkable correspondence that lasted until they both died, within hours of one another, on July 4, 1826 -- the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

The Trump administration has declared war—on immigrants, on the LGBTQIA+ community, on women, on people of color, on the very Native Americans whose land we stand upon. He has insulted and provoked nations across the world, shown utter disdain for diplomacy, and made clear his intent to gut Alaska’s natural resources for profit. He promised to “make America great again,” but instead, he has spread terror among its people, turned us into the pariah of the world, and fashioned himself into a near-religious idol.

He has ignored cries for mercy. He has targeted the vulnerable, the innocent, and the marginalized. He has sown hatred, pitted neighbor against neighbor, and shifted blame onto those he deems lesser. Sound familiar?

Tyranny thrives on silence. It feeds on the fear of those who know injustice is happening but do nothing. I, for one, refuse to cower. I refuse to surrender my voice, my rights, or my country to the grip of authoritarian rule. I will stand with my siblings—of every gender, every race, every creed—who call this nation home. We will not be bullied into submission. We will not stand by as history repeats itself.

The average age of an empire is 250 years. America was founded in 1776, and the cracks are showing. The men who once fought to break free from tyranny left us with a declaration—a reminder, a warning, and a promise:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness… That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

These words were not meant to be relics of the past. They were meant to be a blueprint for action. The world has grown. Humanity has changed. Our understandings of what it means to be free has broadened.

We are not the first generation to witness the rise of oppression, but we have the power to be the generation that stops it. The time for complacency is over. The time for excuses is done. The time for a new Declaration of Independence—from fear, from corruption, from tyranny—is now. If America was ever truly the land of the free and the home of the brave, then let us prove it—not with empty words or blind patriotism, but with action, with defiance, with an unrelenting demand for justice. Stand with me. Stand with those who have been silenced, trampled, and cast aside. Stand against the forces that would see us divided, afraid, and obedient. The foundation of this country was laid by those who dared to believe in freedom—real freedom. I believe in freedom for all. That promise has been broken time and again, but we do not have to accept its ruin. We can fight for it. We must fight for it. And we will.

This is our rallying cry.

There are some on the right, the pro-fascist side, who would claim Dems, liberals are the establishment.

First I would like to start out with the definition of liberal. Liberal: Willing to listen to, or accept ideas and opinions different from one’s own. Open minded.

Now let’s take a loo at conservative. Conservative: Adverse to change or innovation. Holding to “traditional” values.

When one thinks of movements that have bettered humanity, and the world at large are these done in the name of tradition? Are these done by the ideals of old?

Tradition in this country can be rooted back to slavery, back to a time when white people lorded their superiority over others based solely on the color of their skin. It can be traced back to the most wealthy among us, exploiting workers to enrich themselves with as much as possible while no care is given for the health and safety of those who make their wealth possible. Tradition can be traced back to voter suppression and Jim Crow laws, disenfranchising the votes of those who don’t fit their socioeconomic standards, who don’t fit their color code.

This tradition can be traced back to TODAY! Because this tradition of disenfranchisement is happening TODAY! Nearly every state with a GOP majority has done, and is doing all it can to drop voters off the roles. Pretending there’s some kind of fraud. This fraud is simply the poor, those of color, and those who don’t fit a white Christian mold, that they seem to think this country is.

Through years of scheming and planning, through a lack of foresight from our founding fathers, trying to appease slave states. The GOP has found a way of minority rule over the vastly diverse country America is. This minoritarian rule can be seen clearly in SCOTUS, it can be seen in the senate where millions and millions of Americans have little to no say on the goings on in government. Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, all those states combined don’t have the number of citizens California does. All those states are “conservative” states, but California gets 2 representatives, the collective there is 10! A 10-2 vote with not nearly as many constituents. There’s the house though!? Some may argue. The house is a joke! So gerrymandered, useless idiots like Margery toilet Greene will keep her seat for decades to come. We outnumber conservatives in the real world but are trampled by them in representation.

We are the revolutionaries! We are the fight against the forces of old and evil! We are the fight for change! For a better America, for a better world where ALL have equal rights! Where ALL get the same shot at the American dream! Where ALL are treated as members of this country despite their origins or preferences or religion! We are the rebellion against “tradition”. A tradition that seeks to benefit one sect of peoples. We are the other sect and we will not be gaslit to think otherwise.

All of us in the pro-democracy movement are the heart of this nation. The liberals who will take the pinnacle of diversity and thrive with the ideas of all! We are the change. We are the next generation. We are love! We are hope! We are the open minded, accepting, tolerant, compassionate, ever learning, ever growing liberals of the United States of America.

𓄹 ¡Estos bebés están enamorados! ¡Son tan lindos juntos! ♡ . 💞੭

𓄹 ¿Es una pareja rara? ¡Puede ser! Pero el ship tiene una base y es que ¡Ambos se conocieron de niños! ♡ . 💞੭

𓄹 Esto sucedió durante el primer viaje de Simón a España, el cual acompañaría a Manuel Mallo a la Corte. Él era el amante de la reina Maria Luisa en ese entonces y por eso, el joven Bolívar pudo conocer al Príncipe de Asturias. ♡ . 💞੭

𓄹 Quizás no empezaron con buen pie, pero, seguro que se llegaron a ser amigos. Tengo un headcanon al respecto ☝🏻:

❝ Cuando Simón golpea a Fernando accidentalmente con el volante, el Príncipe se enfada y abandona el juego, sintiéndose humillado pero también molesto por el dolor del golpe y no tarda en romper a llorar.

El joven criollo, movido por Mallo y muy a regañadientes, se disculpa con el heredero y cuando este está curando su herida, se acerca para darle un "besito de rana" pero el Borbón mueve su cabecita y ambos se besan sin desearlo.

Por la noche, mientras el caraqueño descansaba en su habitación, el Príncipe de Asturias lo interrumpe cuidadosamente. Mientras ambos se sientan al borde de la cama, Fernando le pide al americano con timidez si puede volver a besar sus labios pues le gustó cómo se sintió antes. Bolívar no duda y vuelve a besar a su amigo pero esta vez con mucho más esmero, marcando el inicio de su inocente relación. ❜❜ ♡ . 💞੭

𓄹 ¡Espero que os gusten los dibujitos! ♡ . 💞੭

French soldiers returning home in 1783 be like: 'I brought you a souvenir' and it's the declaration of independence.

When I woke up and realized that today was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and it was the day that Donald Chump was gonna become our president again, I was angry. I felt that this was sooooooo disrespectful to Dr. King. Then I realized that I was wrong. These two events, happening on the same day, is exactly how it should be. It is a reminder to remember the teachings of a great man, Dr. King. He taught us to stand together and fight for what's right in a peaceful fashion. He had a dream. He knew that together we shall overcome. Now more than ever, we need to help each other and join together to protect our rights, our country, and our people. Dr. King died for what he believed in. I will fight to honor his memory and all that he taught me. Together, we will get through this. Together, we are stronger. Together, we can rise above this. So let's work together to protect our country and honor a great man's dream.... let's make our country a place where all men are created equal and they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. I have a dream, too.... my dream is that we make Dr. King's dream come true, and we all live our best lives and make sure that everyone gets to do that. RIP, Dr. King.... 🙏🏼 I miss you every day. I live my life trying to bring your words to fruition and do the right thing. I love Dr. King and I always will.... 💜💜💜 Let's do this!! We got this!! Together ❤️ 🫂

Bless you, Dr King 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
