06Nov2024: I lost a lot of my faith that day. My determination to keep on being me, to stay active, to fight the tide of fascism that threatens to ruin us, is strong. To always stand on the side where love, kindness, equality, and acceptance mean more than greed.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

This idiot is running his fat mouth about his global fantasy takeover. They want 1/2 the globe for Putin, other 1/2 for the pedo all over #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles. They're still there waiting. Thinking of Vietnam & all the misery that's still apparent now. Trump. Does. Not. Care.

well if that's not the biggest load of bullshit yet i'm not sure what is.
Rep. Scott Fitzgerald on Trump's Venezuela coup, which killed 80+ people: "They can debate this all day in the US Senate, which they're known for, but at the end of the day it was a law enforcement action."

I had a brother at Khe Sanh
Fightin' off them Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms, now
2 generations later landing in the same fucked up place. Why America?

And even more innocent Venezuelans will die which should be a big concern for everyone. Because murdering thousands of civilians anywhere should be a thing . A very big thing that is forcefully discouraged. As a crime.
