In the United States, it's more important to protect the privacy of a victim than it is to prevent another act of abuse. I understand this, but so I accept the argument that it's worth it?

For nearly a century, foreign policy efforts warned against the dangers of a Russo-Chinese alliance. That alliance formed under Biden, in direct response to AUKUS, and the invasion of Europe started within months. But we don't talk about this, because solving it would mean de-escalation with China.

The 28th Amendment should end the two-party system.

This is the right time.

The correct solution to the national debt is inflation. 7% for 7 years is a 50% reduction in value.

Most Americans are in debt. What's a solution? ☝️

But... How about driving inflation through investing in workers and the poor so that it actually works?

If you're missing the irony of Obama showing up just as Trump attempts a weak pantomime of the illegal drone strikes on Libya...

Drones are usually Chinese made & often backed by SpaceX and likely use Microsoft software.

How to stop the war? We can't do everything, but:

The US collaboration with the RSF-backing UAE needs to end.

After that, we pressure China to brick the drones and stop sending more.
Today's quick update [Nov 10]:

- RSF/SPLM-N (Alhilu) drone strikes reported in Um Birimbeeta, South Kordofan (red).

- Fighting has been escalating in the state, with repeated drone strikes and shelling campaigns on several cities and towns.

This, but applied to Thurston County. Seriously, if we can't do what he's saying at a local level why do we think we'll have a chance nationally?
BREAKING: Gavin Newsom just went into Houston, Texas of all places and brought the house down.

This part of his speech gives me chills.

STAND UP FOR DEMOCRACY!!

The Trump administration has thus far bombed a few boats.

They're using the same arguments Obama did when he bombed Libya.

Why did Trump come to power and why is he able to get away with so much? Here's a piece of the story

Leonard Peltier's commutation could be revoked because Biden left him to rot in a cell for years for political reasons. Peltier was a victim of the 1950s genocide in which 1/3 of indigenous children in the US were stolen by CPS. Of those thrown into boarding schools, many were raped, some murdered.

It took this long to sanction Russian oil, something Biden would have done before the war even started if he had had a soul.

What can be said about the persecution of Letitia James? Can we see the entirety of our moment in this single photo - the tension of a strong warrior, steeped in the heartbreak of the reemergence of brutal histories, weary, yet ever determined.

Pronoun required? I respect everyone who has a pronoun preference, but I don't have a preferred pronoun. Well-intentioned people can call me whatever pronoun they want.

This was the first Civil Rights protest photo to be on the front page of newspapers across the country. The protestors were organized and disciplined.

Be brave. Stop running from pepper spray. This young man broke that dog's jaw when it tried to bite him, but only the optics mattered.

Me: SpaceX satellites are being used to control drones in the Sudanese genocide as the US continues to collaborate in the development of AI war machines in the RSF-backing UAE.

Everyone else: Oh no, sex chatbots!

It’s been trained on all the porn before it, so it’s intrinsically linked to all that previous exploitation and rather than work through legalisation, workers rights and worker protections your answer is to run people out of a means of making money… in a capitalist society.

This part is correct, Biden-Democrats should learn it:

But why did we execute and win the Gulf War the way we did in 1991? .....

The men who led this department during the Gulf War were mostly combat veterans of the Vietnam War. THEY Said Never Again To Mission Creep or NEBULOUS END STATES.

"Republicans control Congress so it's their shutdown" is a shallow argument w little substance that only appeals to the Democratic base.

What a miss. The Trump administration is sending migrants to torture camps in foreign countries. They're taking away healthcare.

Dear Dems, say something real

Every time Tr*mp uses our troops by placing them in cities to intimidate Americans: we get to remind people that he's wasting hundreds of millions of taxpayer $$$ on pointless grandstanding and pathetic attempts at intimidating our own people.
