The volunteer pilots ✈️ at @elevatedaccess.bsky.social have flown almost *3,000* people for abortion and gender affirming care.
Now, we’re looking for a donation of a specific type of plane to fill in some gaps left by commercial planes and the private planes of our generous volunteer pilots.

This is an accurate description of our warmongering corporate government that also wants this jurisdiction over our individual bodies. Treat their abortion bans, anti-trans laws, mlm wellness sales as vaccine replacements, etc as wholly illegitimate as this war. The US out of everywhere.
"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

In 249 years, this country has yet to outlaw slavery. We change its form, we change its name, but slavery has been constant. Powerful people and businesses just really love slave labor, and a chunk of our economy is built on that.

Way back when I walked dogs in Evanston, a woman excitedly came up to me and my St Bernard buddy. She was telling me about growing up with them in Europe when I looked to the guy next to her and blurted out ‘Pryzbylewski!’ She turned to Jim True-Frost and smiled at him as he blushed said hi.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie
