Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away." - Elvis Presley

T is the Boogeyman you tried to convince your parents was lurking in your closet. They said you were dreaming. Well, here he is!!!! You didn't believe in him and now he's here. And out of the closet. Released from Pandora's Box. And now we're all cursed. Idiot cult!

Is T at war with Iran yet? Sounds like it but isn't Congress supposed to have a say in this? Or has the Constitution and laws suddenly disappeared like some legal immigrants?

My ancestors were Scots-Irish immigrants, derisively called "Micks." But I was never discriminated against for my green eyes, auburn hair and pale skin, clearly Irish. I suffered because I was a woman practicing law in a man's world. Can you imagine if I were a brown or black female?

Go home Teddy

Who can say their life is better than six months ago?

My parents grew up in the depression, Dad disabled after serving in WWII, mom 8th grade education. Lower middle class financially all their lives but hard workers. I waited tables and tended bar to pay for my ed. Earned a doctorate only to become smart enough to know my country is doomed. RESIST!

I’ll say it over and over again, I’ll NEVER regret voting for Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton, I remain proud AF with a clear conscience.

I think we're at war with Iran. Does anyone know for sure? T is talking like it's our war now.

“I find it unconscionable that someone could step up to serve, voluntarily, in our military and be willing to sacrifice their life for our country only to have their families torn apart.” This article first appeared @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social

Mexicans are indigenous to America We are indigenous We aren’t Navajos We aren’t Cherokee Our ancestors are buried without this soil We danced and celebrated our ancestors all across America from California to Louisiana. We loved and lived upon this soil We didn’t cross a border it crossed us

I've heard reports that The Grim Reaper was lurking around under Trump's glass box. Recon for his next mission? 🙏

Freaking awesome 👏🏼

I'm under no illusion that we're still in a minority as same sex parents, but the fact that the eldest was able to get this card without any trouble says how far we've come as a society.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Father’s Day. Today, this day is filled with even deeper gratitude to Ukrainian fathers. To all those who are now on the front lines, thinking of their children. To those who always remember the importance of a father’s support. To those who protect and shield from the war in the rear.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Please subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
