Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Failson with no medical training who self-medicated with heroin thinks he’s qualified to revoke access to doctor-prescribed anti-depressants that have helped save the lives of millions of people with depression. As one of those people, go fuck yourself, Junior. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Corporate Media destroyed Clinton over her document security & retention policy because she ran her own email through personal server. Musk has a bunch of non-government people accessing (stealing?) personally identifiable information on every person & company in US for unknown (nefarious) purposes.

I think I was happier before I knew Tim Walz existed. I just don't think I can handle the psychic damage of knowing there is a Democrat out there like him telling other Democrats exactly what they should be doing and getting ignored every time. I was happier thinking the entire party was clueless.

"In February 1933, Germany’s wealthiest industrialists, financiers, and CEOs were very explicitly promised by Hitler and Göring that these would be the last elections held for the next 10-100 years. They had no qualms getting out their checkbooks and signing over German democracy."

Of the almost 20,000 homicides in 2024 in the US, illegal immigrants were responsible for 29 of them. The crimes he’s talking about are so uncommon they practically don’t exist. Imagine wanting to spend a quarter trillion dollars to deal with .15% of murders, but doing nothing about gun violence.

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.
