We wouldn't have a war right now if Russia hadn't been excluded from the G7. — Trump Russia was expelled from the G8, reducing it to the G7, as a direct response to its invasion of Ukraine. 🤦‍♀️

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

Elon Musk's bad-faith response to the Minnesota shootings of two Democratic lawmakers — which he falsely blamed on the “far left” — risks encouraging further political violence. Musk must retract and apologize immediately!

Assasinations of state senators is NOT common. Maybe if our intelligence agencies and military were doing their jobs, tracking threats online for example, this may have been avoided. Instead, they’re tracking Jose’s bodega and Jesus’s fruit stand #FAIL www.bbc.com/news/article...

Iran is a nation of 90 million plus. Israel is about 10 million. The ONLY way Netanyahu wins this war is sending troops to Iran. But Israel doesn't have the troop strength. Netanyahu was on Fox News today to get Americans to die for him. Wonder how many Americans want to die for Netanyahu?!

A traffic stop is causing outrage, after a young man born and raised on Long Island was pulled over and searched by ICE agents. He said it was simply because he’s Latino. When ICE found out he’s a U.S. citizen, they let him go—without giving an explanation or apology—but the damage was already done.

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

It feels like a terrifying number of people in law enforcement are just dying to inflict violence on the American people. I hope the many men and women who take their vow to protect and serve seriously are brave enough to stand up to the corruption and ensure our human/civil rights are protected.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.
