Living in Southern California. Too old for social media but the times require it. The oligarchs and ego inflated dictators must be stopped. Plus it’s lovely to stay in touch with friends and like minded people.

Netanyahu's illegal war has killed 50,000 Palestinians. Now, Trump wants to force out 2 million more to build a billionaire's playground in Gaza. That is ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime. Next week, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in new arms sales to Israel.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Trump’s a liar, plain and simple.

The Man who should be where Fetterman is.

She put down her dog without regret. I guess human beings shouldn’t expect any better treatment from Kristi.

nbcsandiego.app.link/UTEs913xYRb Looks like Trump is readying for war!

Every day on the internet makes it abundantly clear that some people have never had a single person turn around and say to them, ‘Cite your sources’ because, and I say this with every ounce of love I can muster as a teacher: while you are entitled to your opinion, that does not make it fact.

www.theguardian.com/global-devel... A wonderful story & impressive woman. We need positive news, too!

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

WHY is ANYONE Surprised??? We have ALL been in peril since The Patriot Act, under which the term “terrorist” immediately robs one of constitutional protections. Hasn’t anyone been paying attention? None of what Trump is doing occurred overnight.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it. Today was a bad day for our country – and for the Democratic Party. Let's talk about it. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

JUST A REMINDER ... ... of how close we are today ...

“I asked Schlanger just how freaked out we should be by Khalil’s apprehension. ‘I teach constitutional law,’ she said. ‘And I’m freaking out.’”

"Erasing the mural on the street leading to the White House is expected to take 6 to 8 weeks & cost about $610K." $610K? Guess that’s what they mean by "draining the swamp"—straight into someone’s pocket. But sure, let’s keep talking about "waste, fraud& abuse.’" nbcwashington.com/news/local/c...

some helpful reminders: -not all jews support israel -criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic -being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas -arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment -violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

Ernest Hemingway wrote this in 1935…

New Zealand Ambassador to UK Sacked for Speaking Truthfully about Trump’s Ignorance. Ambassador Goff compared Trump’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine with the 1938 Munich Agreement that allowed Nazi Germany to annex parts of Czechoslovakia.

"There are times when it is better to stand alone than not stand at all. At some point, we're all going to have to stand up." Representative Al Green

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Just stuck my neck out. Emailed Trump and declared I am against all his actions, domestic and foreign: that his language is low class and unworthy of presidency; his treatment of Zalensky is reprehensible; etc. Sad day on so many levels.
