Everyone deserves dignity — with access to housing, healthcare, and education. The opportunity to thrive regardless of age, race, gender, sexuality, religion, or job status.
We all deserve safety, clean air, clean water, and communities free from violence.

Stalinism wasn’t only about secret police and show trials. At its core, it was about loyalty replacing competence. The military was purged of experienced leaders who were seen as insufficiently obedient, not ineffective.

Over time, what was once unthinkable becomes routine. Calling this Stalinism isn’t hyperbole, it’s recognizing a historical pattern as it repeats itself, with consequences that won’t be easy to undo once the damage is done.

This is how authoritarian systems take hold. Not all at once, not with a single dramatic moment, but through erosion. Norms are weakened, then discarded. Safeguards are treated as obstacles.

That line is now being blurred. When officers are pressured to prove loyalty, when neutrality is treated as suspicion, and when dissent is framed as betrayal, the military stops being a professional force and starts becoming a political instrument.

The U.S. military has long been different. It has operated on the idea that it answers to the Constitution, not to a president’s ego or a political movement.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.
If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Venezuela has a constitution.
Their constitution does not say that Donald Trump gets to appoint a new president of Venezuela.
It says that their vice president, Delcy Rodriguez becomes president.
She has already been sworn in.
Don't believe Trump MAGA bullshit.

This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.
