“The distance between what is said, and what is known to be true, has become an abyss…The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands - we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.”

I disagree with this. If we have guns, we invite violence.

Due process on pause? “ICE” is detaining people without charges and blocking attorney access. I hope L.A. and California are transparent about the data, because I bet most of these folks have no criminal record—just moms, dads and young people doing the work that most Americans won’t touch.

I’m gonna need everyone who defended the January 6 rioters, who attacked the US Capitol, caused $5 million worth of damage, murdered a police officer, defecated and urinated in the halls of Congress, and attempted to hang the VPOTUS to shut your hypocritical mouths about the California protests.

Cuomo shouldn't be allowed to call himself a Democrat. New Yorkers, open your eyes and see him for what he really is.

Just got a call from the woman who was going to the No Kings protest with me. She TACOed. Too afraid of law enforcers. I told my family if I get injured or killed, just make sure to tell the media I was aware of the danger but I hate Trump enough to risk my life. My friend wasn't convinced. Too bad.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

What an idiot. Let him come live in Arizona for 2 months with no chauffeur and he'd be high-speed rail's strongest proponent. If we had high-speed rail from El Paso to Tucson to Phoenix to Las Vegas to Los Angeles, it would be a huge boon to the economies of ALL those cities.
