Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was not a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who was a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

I'm being flooded with messages from friends that work at the VA after SecVa held what's been described as an "angry" all hands call where he railed about the media, dismissed 'suicide prevention' efforts as a waste of money, and mocked his own employees! Looking for the recording!

And another thing. The framing of the NYC Mayoral race in a way that excludes the one woman (Black woman) running who just happens to be the City Council Speaker and who arguably has the best resume to lead the City is giving me the ick. I was very struck by this moment in last week’s debate.

The fact that so many people think celebrating the end of slavery in the US is “DEI” is actually clarifying of what they mean when they use DEI. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/...

If you're confused by Ted Cruz claim that support for Israel is in the bible, Genesis (32:28) a man named Jacob is given a new name: Israel. His children become known as the "children of Israel". Has nothing to do with the nation state established thousands of years later

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

They told me if I voted for Kamala we'd have Middle East war, inflation, an economic slump, weaponization of DOJ, no peace in Gaza or Ukraine and incompetents all over govt. Well, sure looks that way now.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

The answer is in ICE's selection of targets: * Democratic politicians in public * Immigrants attending court hearings, at work, or at schools None of those people will be armed. On the flipside, ICE is scrupulously avoiding raids on cartel affiliates, drug dealing sites, etc. They might be armed.

As long as they’re hiding their faces, badges and names we should stop calling them “federal agents.” Call them masked goons or unidentified thugs or whatever, unless and until they provide proper ID.

So Brad Lander's wife posted the video of him being manhandled and detained by ICE and how does The New York Times characterize it? As Lander's campaign "capitalizing" on his arrest. As opposed to a wife wanting public witness to an unlawful act. C'mon, clean up your freaking act @nytimes.com.

One thing that I think about, as I watch the video of Brad Lander being detained by ICE without a warrant, is that the administration and media kept referring to Abrego Garcia as 'deported' when it was much closer to an extraordinary rendition

Walz’s big mistake, and Harris’s too for that matter, was not going to the right colleges. And that particular prejudice is on me and mine.

For decades, US presidents from both parties used a simple formulation for defining a tyrant: a leader who threatens or uses military force to suppress their domestic political opposition. Now we have a president doing just that and conservatives are cheering. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Big respect to every bored-looking, droop-shouldered, out-of-step, slightly slovenly soldier who helped make Orange Pharaoh’s parade what it was. Well done! We the people thank you for your service.

I think the key to understanding every soldier's lack of caring in this parade is to know that this is a three-day-weekend for most of the rest of the Army, in honor of the Army's birthday.

I think a public official masking during conduct of their duties vs a private citizen masking while in a public space for a private purpose are 2 extraordinarily different things and one is absolutely unacceptable

At this point, any masked individual with no ID posing as law enforcement must be seen as a potential murderer. Trump and his Republican cronies bear direct responsibility for this.
