Middleboro Review and so on

                SHARED FOR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ABOUT tRUMP'S                LATEST SCAM!                BUY AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP FOR $1 MILLION???? Donald Trump launched his newest scam: a “Trump Gold Card” that gives millionaires and billionaires a fast track to U.S. citizenship for a $1 million fee. While ICE raids rip immigrant families apart and veterans who served this country get deported, the man in the White House is literally selling the American Dream to whoever can cut him the biggest check.  My grandfather came here with little more than the shirt on his back. He worked the steel mills of Chicago and the coal mines of Appalachia to give his family a shot at a better life. He raised kids and grandkids who wore the uniform, served in combat, taught in public schools, and fought to make this country stronger. That was the promise of ...

WE KNOW THAT MANY OF THESE FAMILIES CONTRIBUTED TO THEIR LOCAL  ECONOMIES ACROSS THE NATION....THEY WORKED...BUILT BUSINESES....ABIDED  BY THE LAWS.....EDUCATED THEIR CHILDREN.... TRUMP'S IRRATIONAL MASS DEPORTATION LUNACY IS NOT A SOLUTION....  MORE LIKE A COSTLY INVESTMENT IN  IRRATIONAL POLICY THAT REMOVES  LAW ABIDING PEOPLE, HARD WORKING FAMILIES BASED ON RACISM - THE  COLOR OF THEIR SKIN - WITHOUT DUE PROCESS!  WUNC recently reported that ICE arrests in North Carolina doubled last year. More than 3,400 of our friends, family and neighbors were taken, most with NO criminal record at all. The data shows few convictions but a whole lot of chaos. Hundreds of people with pending charges have been swept up just to fill Trump’s good squad detention centers. Who could have predicted that handing badges and body armor to a bunch of backyard soldiers with zero strategy beyond racist vibes would turn into a humanitarian disaster? Richard Hudson is proud to ...

  The Trump administration just announced they’re cutting off every dime of USDA funding to Minnesota because their cult leader can’t stand the idea of a state that didn’t vote for him. They swallowed a racist YouTube conspiracy about Somali Americans and now every Minnesota family that relies on SNAP, every senior who counts on meal programs, and every kid who depends on free school lunches is going to pay for it. Help me face these cowards in Washington and show them that this country doesn’t belong to crooks who treat hunger like politics. Trump’s got no interest in being president for anyone outside his little flock of sycophants. He’ll starve children, pull the rug out from working families, and laugh about it on Truth Social while his goons call it “tough leadership.” If they’ll do this to Minnesota, they will do it to any of us. Guaranteed. Now is the time to step up and fight for our neighbors. Congress has the power of the purse, and only Congress gets to decide when fundi...

  This weekend I said what every veteran who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan already knows in our bones: this attack on Venezuela is another illegal war for oil and profit. Then Trump took the podium and proved me right. He bragged, “We’re going to run the country” and “fix Venezuela’s oil infrastructure.” Fix it for whom? Exxon? Halliburton? The same corporate bloodsuckers who never miss a war but never fight one either. I’ll be damned if we let this happen again. CHIP IN TO SEND A COMBAT COMMANDER TO CONGRESS! Trump’s cronies at Exxon and Chevron are lining up for their cut, and every word out of his mouth drips with greed dressed up as liberation. Meanwhile he has no plan for the power vacuum he just created or how it’s going to hurt the Venezuelan people. And it’s not doing us any favors here at home, either. Iraq didn’t find freedom. Afghanistan didn’t get liberation. And Libya was supposed to be a model for democracy, remember? Now it’s a warlord’s playground where human being...

VETERANS PRESENT WITH INJURIES NOT SEEN IN CIVILIAN CARE FACILITIES...   If you have never been to a VA Facility, you likely have no comprehension of the severity of  the COMBAT INJURIES that are being addressed.....  MANY ARE AMPUTEES.  MANY ARRIVE IN WHEELCHAIRS.  SOME ARRIVE BY AMBULANCE ON STRETCHERS BECAUSE THEY LACK MOBILITY! MANY LIVE IN CONSTANT PAIN FROM THEIR INJURIES and THE VA VETERANS  who sacrifice their lives to provide COMPASSIONATE CARE understand the CONSEQUENCES  of SERVICE TO THE NATION THAT SENT THEM TO WAR! MANY LIVE WITH PTSD that no civilian facility can comprehend or understand.  A local HERO shared a room with a friend...that HERO rescued others and exposed himself to  AGENT ORANGE from which he was dying - the CONSEQUENCES OF VIETNAM!  A HERO WHO DIED TOO YOUNG!  A NATION SENT YOUNG MEN TO WAR!  THE NATION HAS AN OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE CARE REGARDLESS OF COST!  FULLY FUND THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATI...

  Earlier this week, I shared on social media the story of a man who mailed in his last $7 and a handwritten note to support this campaign.  He said he believed in what we’re building and wanted to do his part, even when times were tough. I don’t take a single dollar of that lightly. In an economy where folks are scraping to get by, sending $7 is more than just a donation, it’s an act of faith. It means someone looked at the way things are going under Trump’s broken economy and decided to believe in something better. I asked if we could match his $7 to show him how far it could go, and because of you, we’ve already turned it into $318.  That’s what people power looks like:   folks stepping up for each other, turning seven bucks and a little hope into real fuel for a working-class movement that’s growing every single day. Let’s keep this goodwill going.   If 100 people chip in $7 tonight, we’ll turn our supporter’s last $7 into  $700. Every dollar is going t...

  The day we warned you about has arrived: Trump’s jackbooted ICE goon squad just rolled into Charlotte and Raleigh.   It always starts somewhere else – Chicago, Los Angeles, DC – and then it comes home.   Now the raids are here, in our neighborhoods, outside our schools and churches, ripping good people from their families and calling it “law enforcement.” These are our neighbors, our coworkers, the folks who make this state run. The rock-solid people who serve meals, fix roofs, and care for our kids. ICE and Border Patrol call it “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” as if this were some sick backyard soldier game.   What they’ve unleashed is a pack of keystone cowards who couldn’t find a real threat if it walked up and introduced itself.   When the dust settles in city after city, the truth comes out: there are no violent criminals, no masterminds, no threats to public safety.   In Chicago, barely 2% of the hundreds ICE has hauled off had any criminal record at a...
