Whatever oil companies & Trump decide to try and do in Venezuela is one thing, but not ONE SINGLE PENNY of American taxpayer money should be spent facilitating it. They are your profits, spend your own damn money trying to gain them. You have plenty of it. THAT is America First.

Over 100 members of Congress have mounted replicas of a plaque honoring the police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the January 6th insurrection outside their offices -- because House Speaker Mike Johnson has disgracefully refused to install the official one.

Excellent piece - and SPOT ON! There is no such thing as a ‘moderate Republican’ if they voted for this insanity and inhumanity and aren’t now renouncing it full force. Sitting back, pocketing the gains, waiting for whatever comes next is unconscionable.
"The administrations in power never missed an opportunity...to articulate just how black and white they viewed the world, nor did they underplay the inhuman lengths to which they would go to...punish the people they consider unworthy of an American existence." Commentary, @danawormald.bsky.social
Sorry, would-be moderate Republicans, but there is only one Republican Party • New Hampshire Bulletin
In the middle of December, a “grateful” John Sununu shared a list of new endorsers for his U.S. Senate campaign, through which he plans to “bring New Hampshire common-sense” to Washington.

Why/when did we agree that an agency - DHS- could set their own rules which are the antithesis of all that grounds us - due process matters,
innocent until proven guilty,
with Liberty and Justice for ALL.
Who said DHS/ICE gets to make up their own rules/laws - or not have any!??

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

NATO is dead. Let's stop pretending. Canada and Europe have a decision to make - whether we will stand together or give in to the Trump/Putin axis of evil.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

There is currently an enormous protest in the streets of Minneapolis in response to the murder there today by the American Gestapo, ICE. I take some comfort in this.

We are at the point in the fascist regime where they execute protesters. And Trump is 100% defending this execution by blaming the dead 37 year old woman for being shot in he face point blank by ICE. How much more of this are patriotic Americans expected to take?!

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.
