Most children stop name-calling between ages 7 and 10, and by early adolescence (11–13) they understand that it’s inappropriate.
If someone past adolescence still name-calls during conflict (especially adults), it’s due to immature emotional regulation. #QuietPiggy #FatSlob #PresidentManChild

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?

You’re kidding.

Bombing another country and then expecting peace is like punching someone in the face and asking them, “Do you want to be my friend now?” #MakeLoveNotWar #LetThereBePeaceOnEarth

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail.

Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Hi folks: Facebook appears to be taking down my posts. Please remember they are available for free here (no paywall), and can be received by email (also free-- just don't put in your credit card information). I guess if I'm being banned I'm doing something right?
The government ignored his protective legal status & deported Abrego Garcia. “Now they claim that the court is powerless to order any relief. If that’s true, the immigration laws are meaningless because the government can deport ANYONE & no court can do anything about it once it’s done.”

A burglar broke into my house and started stealing and destroying my stuff. The sheriff came and said he could stop the burglar but the only way was to let the burglar keep my stuff he stole and let him live in my house. #StandWithUkraine

Anyone with common sense knows you don’t have to burn the house down to make repairs. It just takes a little skill and knowledge. I guess that’s what’s missing #DOGE

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.

Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

As I watch rich men compete with each other sending rockets into orbit, I wonder how anyone could think a billionaire understands having to budget for groceries, medical care, or a place to live.

All it takes is money . . .
To buy food for your family
To pay for a roof over your head
To pay for medical care
To buy Republicans and a President
To buy America
