I see where trump says DNI Gabbard is wrong about Iran building a bomb. Must be trump asked the Knowledge Fairy.

OK, this is how it's done.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

Freaking awesome 👏🏼

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

You know, we used to study Dr Kings civil disobedience as something good. It was

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

RIP Brian Wilson. Thanks for the music.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

I never, ever want to hear another god damn word about state’s rights…

Resign from ICE. Unless you signed-up to be a stormtrooper fighting against your fellow Americans. Just resign. And be on the right side of history.

Rep. Gomez: LA County alone is 34% foreign born, 34%. So when he says they're going to liberate us, who is he going to liberate us from? Ourselves?

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

I want to know why WE are paying for Congress' healthcare plans when they are voting to take ours away?! Until Congress passes a law that provides healthcare for ALL Americans, then they forfeit their own taxpayer funded plans. #NoHealthCareForCongress

So are the pro-genocide folks gonna labels these remarks as being “anti-Semitic?” 🤣 www.yahoo.com/news/indiscr...

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

A viral post is spreading fear on all platforms, supposedly from Liz and Me, about a nonexistent bill—just like the far right used to do. We cannot become what we’re fighting. The truth still matters. We win by being better, not louder. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/dont-fight...

Our current president is severely mentally unwell, and the media needs to cover it now.

Today, I honor Maj. Andreas O’Keeffe, a friend who was Killied in Action in Iraq in 2018. Godspeed

are you smart?

When you realize you are collateral damage to your own cruelty.
