AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

“The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that.” Donald Tusk, Polish PM

I'm Mar🐫 & I approve this message. 👍 #EcomomicBlackout (image by @donkoclock.bsky.social) 🙏

You first.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

"Europe must now start the painful process of “de-risking” its relationship with the US, looking for areas of dangerous dependence on America and stripping them out of the system.” from @gideonrachman.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/11f1...

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Holy shit this cartoon.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Our beloved Canada is under threat. The threat comes from the president of the US—a convicted felon and known predator. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk….

Trump just revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity executive order of 1965, rolling back 60 years of progress on civil rights. The order had prohibited employment discrimination in federal hiring based on race, religion, and gender.

This is my new mantra.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

CARTOON OF THE DAY

But the conservative “strict constructionists” on SCOTUS found presidential immunity in the Constitution. It’s right there in Article …No, not in any Articles. It’s in Amendment …No, not in any Amendment. It’s almost like they did what they always accused the libs of doing. bsky.app/profile/adam...

I hope the Senate hears this important message.

Here are my book recommendations for the new year: Read the books you already bought.

I promised to post a series of why the fall of the Assad regime is a monumental defeat for Moscow and addressed the situation in Africa where Russia's plundering of resources is threatened by the losses of the Syrian bases. Today, comes the next episode: The Syrian Energy Corridor (1/22)

So what are you gonna do during a second Trump term.

Thou shalt not kill' also means 'thou shalt not let profit margins decide who lives and who dies.'

The resistance after 2016 was a success. But we need something bigger and more durable this time. We need an opposition built for the long term. We need to stop being tired and ignore the cynics. I can promise you, my team and I will be in the fight. If we all do our part we will win!

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr. The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

The rules apply to everyone else, not his own family. 

The first step in saving Earth is admitting you are the problem.

I don't understand why the guy who likes having more of everything than everyone else is upset since he still has 34 more felony charges than Hunter.

I’m currently reading Gulag by Anne Applebaum. This is my second attempt. It’s an incredibly exhausting read—the suffering, pain, and death of millions of innocent people: the elderly, the children. Enemies within. Enemies of the state. Have we really not learned our lesson?

You said it so beautifully! Every city should have its own river. And if not a river then the sea…water brings life and connects us to the whole world! Here is my love—the Danube. ❤️‍

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

This is what Elon is offering America—and all he is offering. A return to America as a Robber Barony.

It makes me so angry that this brilliant exceptionally qualified woman could’ve been our next President yet many people chose a disgusting piece of shit criminal instead.
