“When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty." -Baron de Montesquieu, 1746

The men and women of Ukraine have fought, sacrificed, died, suffered and so bravely defended THEIR country. They were living peacefully before Putin invaded thinking he’d snap that country up and its mineral rich land in three days, underestimating Zelensky, the bravest and most 1/2

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Never. Forget. Never. Forgive. ✨

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election. She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

This is Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll. Last Friday he refused Justice Department order to identify & assist in firing all agents involved in Jan. 6 riot cases, He is said to have pushed back forcefully. Thank you Brian Driscoll!🇺🇸

Irony is dead in this moment along with common sense. Trump who squawked “but her emails” incessantly, let Musk (unelected/not a govt employee) send his crew of kids in to review classified information & plug devices of unknown origin into the government computer system, compromising everything.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka: ICE agents, during a warrantless raid, detained undocumented residents as well as citizens. “One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned.” www.northjersey.com/story/news/e...

Right out of the gate they are detaining U.S. citizens and saying their “papers”are fake. It was always a lie.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

So true.

Huge gratitude for our neighbors, Mexico and Canada have sent fire fighters and army to help us.

This! Is! Pathetic! X is a disinformation dumpster fire—so why would anyone use it as a model for fact-checking? Oh wait… 🚨 Meta is ditching its fact-checking program for a ‘community notes’ system like X. Because who needs truth when you can crowdsource chaos?

We must not allow a man who has a fetish for dead animals, who has sexual assault allegations against him, who was addicted to heroin for 14 years, who drove his wife to take her own life, and who has a nematode in his brain – to make *any* health decisions for *anyone*.

Twas the night before Christmas. 🌟 Can’t get enough of this… ‘2024 Holidays at the White House: A Season of Peace and Light.’ Merry Christmas, everyone!

"the bettr part of fifty million votes are missing" MUSK/TRUMPUTIN STOLE FIFTY MILLION VOTES let that sink in. FIFTY MILLION OF YOU MIGHT AS WELL NOT HAVE VOTED. #TruthWarriors #justsayin #resist #blueCrew #DonkParty

Cases of whooping cough in Michigan are at their highest level in at least 20 years, as vaccinations decline. The disease can be deadly to infants. Alarmed by the increase, doctors are pleading for families to vaccinate their children.
