Semi-Retired and WOKE, and proud of it!
Graduated HS in ‘71, drew a “361” (of 365) in the draft lottery so too late to be drafted for Vietnam. I am concerned about climate change and equality along with responsible and legit government.

Our Democratic elected officials are not rising to this moment so most of them must go.
Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?
ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.
I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

I’ve been preaching this for a while now… Ai will enhance Naziism because no one will be able to judge what they see with their own eyes…
it’s so cool that the only use case for ai is to distort everyones perception of reality. this needs to be heavily regulated immediately, especially when a government can do this

Blumenthal: "I'm a no vote on that spending bill unless there are conditions that require ICE to go to a judge, to get a warrant, as well as other kinds of constraints -- the use of masks, the non-identification, the unmarked cars. These secret police, totalitarian tactics need to be stopped."

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.
That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.
Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Democratic Politicians should be very careful here. While I’m socially liberal independent I vote for zero Republicans. I also have a long memory and any politician who supports the Trump/Ice agenda and votes in favor of it is forever dead to me. At this point you’re either a Nazi or you’re not.

Defund DHS. DHS has forced civilians to sacrifice personal privacy to extreme surveillance, denied constitutional rights to due process, and denied 4th amendment right to freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. Immigrants are not a threat. Everything about DHS is a threat.
