He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

FBI agents “incentivized” to zip tie little kids, help to deport babies in the middle of cancer treatment, & ripping mothers away from her kids. It’s absolutely abhorrent and inhumane. Fvkk the FBI, ICE, or any other agency playing games with people’s lives. #ProudBlue #OneV1

The GOP’s reconciliation bill is one of the worst environmental bills I’ve ever seen. It guts public input, silences tribal and community voices, slashes environmental protections, and hands sacred and public lands to the lowest bidder with no accountability.
