"PITY THE NATION"

by Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose shepherds mislead them

Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves

Pity the nation that raises not its voice
Except to praise conquerors
And accl

During his 1st term, Dumpf stiffed Black farmers when providing bail outs. Almost 100% of the money went to white, wealthy farmers. Much of it went to large foreign-owned mega farms: www.farmbilllaw.org/2019/07/24/u....

“Every time these strongmen come along, they are the agents of taking (women’s) rights away and reversing them, reversing the emancipation of women in every way. And that holds true throughout all over the world, throughout a century. So here we have it here now”. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, author of Strongmen

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has made it official. She's running for the US Senate in Texas – while former Rep. Colin Allred ends his own campaign for the US Senate nomination in favor of attempting a House comeback bid.

Russia's attack on Chernobyl is a form of a dirty bomb. NATO countries must directly defend Ukraine – and themselves.

Sadists look for excuses to kill. Sadists in power look for excuses to kill in broad daylight.

BREAKING: A posthumously discovered book transcript by George Orwell – a dystopia tale re an American president who's awarded a 'peace' prize by a corrupt AF sports governing body whilst he's trying to provoke a war by murdering people in broad daylight on the high seas & openly bragging about it.

Out situation is bad, but I think urging a foreign military to intervene on US shores is wildly irresponsible.

We aren’t yet out of options. We’re going to get out of this, and we will eventually be better for it.

Up until now, Hegseth said they didn’t know the names of the men they murdered. Now, “they were on a list.”
They all fucking lie. They don’t know their NAMES and this Admiral just threw his entire career out the window for the 🍊💩. Congratulations murderer
Release the video.

Release the list.

Donald has blood on his hands.

His needless D.C. deployment just got a nice young woman killed.

He’s murdering random Venezuelans.

He’s murdering Americans by taking away their healthcare.

His plague-denialism killed over a million Americans in his first term.

Sadists like Trump and Hegseth get an extra thrill by killing in public in broad daylight – while claiming they're "protecting Americans".

There's a personality type that enjoys abusing power over others and deals with shame (usually due to a strict religious upbringing) by deflecting what shames them most on others to prove they couldn't possibly be one of "those" demonized Bad People.

When I have food that starts looking like this, I throw it out.

I suggest the United States does the same.

This is who the republican party has always been. At it's root, this what conservative ideology has been about. No taxes, and deregulation, just not for you or I.

Doubling down on murder based on a false narrative doesn't really seem like the wise course of action here, but what the fuck do I know?🤷‍♂️

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

i keep thinking about that scene in The American President where President Shepherd absolutely *anguishes* about ordering a strike on the libyan intelligence headquarters because he knows it'll kill a lone civilian janitor

If Trump thinks he can open our beautiful ocean to offshore drilling, he’ll have to go through me first—California will always lead the fight to protect our planet.

there's a certain personality that's very debilitating in modern life. 100 years ago, if you wanted to buy something, you'd go to five local shops and decide. now with the internet, you need to spend 1,000 hours so you can own the best version in the world like you're some venetian patrician

For the same reason we must see the entire video of the Sept. 2 boat strike, all testimonies from witnesses must be under oath – and immediately and completely accessible to the public.

Admiral Frank Bradley lied in his testimony today. The two survivors did not have a radio or any other means of communication.

Remove him from duty and court martial him. Immediately.
