The two National Guardsmen, Captain Dylan Blahna and Staff Sgt. Demi Palcock, said they want no part of deploying to Chicago to help deport immigrants. "This is not what we signed up for...Look at 1930s, 1940s Germany.

I wrote @Spotify seeking an explanation, and their answer was “we don’t have any information to share.” Then I don’t have my business to share. I took my 50+ playlists and went to Tidal. Easy to use and completely happy with my decision.

I helped lead the National Guard. Troops don’t belong in our cities.
We must not permit this gross misuse of the military to be normalized.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.
Remove him from office.

Just watched a great commercial during the Game 7 ALCS from the Government of Ontario Canada using President Reagan’s own words to take down MAGAt’s unnecessary and stupid tariff wars. Brilliant! I’ll post a link in the thread to the YouTube video. Go Leafs! #OhCanada

Trust is a precious value that the MAGA cult knows nothing about. A soldier’s mission is to protect the public and its citizens, not police them. Thank you General Enyart for speaking common sense.

Great messaging here.
Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.
Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care
