Normalizing this horrible person’s behavior has done such long term damage to this country. Here again, the President of the United States, using the powers of his office to threaten the livelihoods of private citizens, to demand that private citizens be fired. This is so wrong.👇

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited. It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

This article about Bove is from February. It details how he was initially passed over for promo in SDNY because of his behavior, then later got a promotion and was formally investigated for his behavior. Point is: WB is not describing stuff that is out of character www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

It’s wild that in the video DHS posted in an effort to make the beating of an innocent landscaper (with 3 marine sons) seem justified there’s a masked ice goon pointing a gun at a random car passing by and they don’t seem to think it matters at all

Immigration is such a great thing for this country. Immigrants add so much to American life and to our economy. We need to greatly expand the number of immigrants we take in every year. We need to make it a hell of a lot easier & faster for immigrants to become American citizens.

Trump is pleading with oil companies to “keep oil prices down” after oil prices surged to their highest levels. This comes in the wake of Iran’s threat to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, in retaliation for the attacks Trump ordered on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Everything about this is farce. Iran wasn’t near creating a weapon. The administration committed a crime and is trying to avoid consequences and war using pitifully transparent word games. Our media is clicking its heels and producing jingoistic war porn and trying to legitimize Netanyahu. Farce

Even with everything else going on, I am still fixated on this obscenely terrible and dangerous headline from the Washington Post. Do they really believe that Democrats are looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed and arrested or are they sucking up to their billionaire owner?

Pre-emptive war can seem tempting when we believe that a bold strike can be quickly followed by a new peace on more favorable terms. But in the long history of the world, great leaders’ hopes for quick decisive victories have often proved to be terribly ill-founded, as Germans found in 1914.
