“Now is not the time to talk about…” If you thought I was gonna say ‘gun control’ bc that’s how Republicans shut down talk, you would be wrong. I want to talk about the failing DNC and how our party needs a massive revamp. But for some, “now” is never the right time.

I hate the way Iran treats its women. But a country that kept a brain dead woman alive to force her to give birth, and forced her family to pay for it all against their wishes, hardly has a leg to stand on. We treat women like beasts of burden and take away their agency right here. So…🤷🏽‍♀️

I don't know who needs to hear this, but NOTHING is going to get fixed unless We the People DEMAND a reset of American Democracy. The two-party system is a failure. The "sides" don't even play by the same rules, and one side just lies, and that's ALL they do.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

When I was young, if we wanted to find the secret rave, we'd have to be smart enough to solve a puzzle with a few clues placed around the city that would eventually lead us to the address. The next G7 should do that.

We’re fast producing a population that won’t even be able to read a book: “College Board, which does the SAT, cut "reading passages from 500-750 words all the way down to 25-150 words, or the length of a social-media post, with one question per passage.” www.joannejacobs.com/post/as-atte...

You have to fundamentally realise what is really going on in America. Democracy doesn’t work for the wealthy. They want to rule. Democracy doesn’t allow that. So destroy democracy by controlling what people see and hear. Particularly effective for non critical thinkers.

Mystal: It all goes back to Dobbs. It tells everyone on that side that they’re open for business to take away, to smash, every civil right they don’t like. We’re living in the post-Dobbs era.. it’s going to take some time before the country has a moment of clarity about what’s really happened here.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

how about a constitutional amendment to disqualify convicted felons (who led a crybaby assault on the US Capitol) from the presidency (even if their party holds a slim majority in Congress)

Me: “we already have two fantastic dogs, we don’t need any more pets.” My wife: “you’re right.” Me: “plus we just got new rugs…” My wife: “okay” Me: “and I can’t be home all day to house train a puppy.” My wife: “I understand” Me: “so it is NOT gonna happen.” … BlueSky, meet Martha.

I don't know how we survive what this two party system has devolved into. One side are criminals, bigots and murderers. The other side are do nothing whiners and pearl clutchers. Both are paid by the oligarchy.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

I'm proud to report we've made the job of police officers 100% safe by telling them to avoid crimes and arrest innocent people instead

The RW white christian nationalists, except for NAR, are pushing for an all-out war in the Middle East because that how they get the white jesus to return to Earth. That's why they continually use Bible verses to promote war in the region. They want sons & daughters to die to bring about the rapture
