Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York.

Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.

EU need to step up.

A real president does this.

Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

There is nothing an American president could do worse for his own people than starving the poor right before Thanksgiving.

Except for, I don’t know, lying about a plague and getting a million of his own citizens killed. Oh wait, let’s also not forget the time that he:

As a fmr threat analyst, that is *exactly* how it works, & how both sides escalate. Americans who leaned into radicalization post-9/11 are the consequence of that attack, and they want to escalate. It was basically UBL's long-term goal. America is toppling itself & on the verge of a USSR-collapse.

I'd give anything for us to be 1/4 as good collectively as so many of us are individually. But we're not, and probably never will be.

That's why you need to love fiercely. At this point it seems time is short for us all, and we all need to make every second count. #DoGoodRecklessly
We have such capacity for love. I wish we knew that

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Where the FUCK are the Dems from Oversight committees who have the right to enter and review these facilities?? Why the FUCK are these people still in power?? Where the FUCK are all the "CoNsTiTuTiOn LoViN' cOnSeRvAtIvEs"?? Where are the journalists soliciting leaked cell phone videos?? WTF USA??
This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ -- Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The solution to the budget impasse is obvious. Both parties should agree on Medicare for All. Republicans can say they ended Obamacare along with the subsidies & Democrats can take credit for actually giving us healthcare coverage. Unfortunately neither duopoly party will do this.

Democrats have spent 38 days trying to lower health care costs and reopen the government. Trump and Republicans completely control this process, and instead of looking for solutions they’ve defunded SNAP, interrupted commercial travel, and pursued political vendettas.

Eighty-eight years ago, in his Second Inaugural Address, Franklin D. Roosevelt told America that “the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”

Having worked in the front office at USDA, I can state unequivocally that SNAP expanded under Trump during COVID, and red state recipients lost their SHIT when Biden let COVID-era expansions expire. I received and read every single one of their thousands of letters. They hated him (more) for it.
Are we just not gonna talk about how Trump using hunger as a weapon to try to force his opponents to capitulate would be a war crime if it happened in an armed conflict? POTUS is *literally* committing war crimes against the US population & NOBODY is talking about it.

Mark my words, @jd-vance-1.bsky.social will leave his wife for Erika Kirk by '27, use "kids are property of their dad" philosophy from Project 2025, & he'll get credit from MAGA for making a "good christian home" when his wife "was against Jesus," & "run" 100% openly on Christian Nationalism in '28.
