Let’s talk about sedition and treason, because the most powerful yet inadequate man in the world is having a tantrum about it, and his soulless, spineless sycophants are boosting his message.

The extreme and psychotic overreaction by Trump and Stephen Miller to Democratic military vets in the Senate and House urging service members to remember that their oath is to the Constitution and not a man tells us a lot about the Trump admin’s plans for the military.

Science doesn’t care what you believe—it is.
I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

NO ONE deserves this kind of abject humiliation—except for Donald Trump & his band of sexual predators/criminals.

Richly deserved.

A just society needs morality rooted in truth, fairness, & goodness, evolving with compassion, evidence, & human rights.

Justice (unlike Scripture) isn’t rigid tradition; it’s dignity & equality for all.

So many voices are silenced owing to any number of factors but mostly—BECAUSE —
they DO NOT serve the narrative that people who have health challenges…DESERVE THEM.
It’s GOD’s punishment—WHICH IS BULLSHIT!!

NO ONE who suffers from a rare or incurable disease DESERVES IT.

KNOW IT.

For some of its a paid job to take shots at the Democratic Party for engagement and $. For some of us our lives depend on them regaining majorities in the House and Senate. Remember that on your quest to be entertained.

Worked in legal organizing for the last few years, and I never would have thought a movement of lawyers was possible until I had the displeasure of doing this job under Trump 2.0.

Recent history has shown that attorneys and jurists can play a big role in bringing their nations back from the brink of autocracy. That day is coming for us as well.

As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN

And they are all Trump supporters

The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.
