I don’t read as much as I used to and I miss it but my time has been spent writing, working leather, and bettering myself in other ways. I’ve lived and breathed politics since I entered university in 2001. This year broke me. No politics, just beauty.

The downside of democracy? We all live with the consequences of choices made by others. Even if you voted differently, you're still impacted by decisions from leaders you didn't choose.

Because the first question shifts the blame to the desperate, making their morality the focus, while the second question demands accountability from the powerful. It's easier to question survival than to challenge greed.

1/ In the 1930s, opposition parties in Germany faced a daunting challenge: resisting the rising tide of the Nazi regime . They tried to protest, rally, and fight back through various means, but their efforts were met with brutal repression. 🧵👇 #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Trump and Putin are going to carve up the Ukraine much in the same way Hitler and Stalin carved up WW2 Europe.

Who could have predicted that a guy that makes cars and rockets that have spontaneously exploded, produces vehicles with much higher crash rates than other manufacturers, and whose autos have been known to plow into cops, would also be the guy tasked to fix the air traffic control system.

The National Weather Service, The Department of Education, USAID, The IRS and the CDC were all called out in Project 2025 to be eliminated. You remember. The Project 2025 that Trump claimed on several occasions to know nothing about.

What have DEI, Affirmative Action, and Woke all have in common? All have been hijacked by MAGA to become racist dog whistles.

This is an absolute scandal. Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States. As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.

🚨Trump and Musk said their illegal hiring freeze wouldn't hurt Veterans. They LIED. All across the country, VA employees are reporting that essential programs - such as healthcare and the suicide hotline - are being impacted. READ MORE: federalnewsnetwork.com/veterans-aff...
