Proud Irish grandmother. Dog and cats are nicer than humans. If I was American I'd be a Democrat.
I know how important democracy is and am glad to live in Ireland where our politics are still relatively sane, and so worried for the USA. Leguminati. No DMs

1/ Collective punishment of tens of thousands of vetted Afghan partners won’t prevent radicalization. But it will guarantee fewer allies, more enemies, and higher risks for U.S. troops the next time we deploy.

Your military expenditure dollars at work:

They have been involved in “beautification efforts,” such as removing graffiti, assisting with traffic control, supporting the police and being stationed at Metro stops

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

Hang on, a pause is by definition temporary. Permanent is the opposite of temporary. “Permanent pause” is an oxymoron, a contradiction. If you want to be president of the US, don’t you think you should learn English, @realDonaldTrump ?

The shooter of the the National Guard in DC was granted asylum in April of this year. Refresh my recollection: Who was president in April of this year? Was it Joe Biden? No, I didn't think so . . .

And why was the National Guard unnecessarily there at all? Was it Joe Biden? No, I didn't think so.

20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, died a day after volunteering to serve in DC so that others could enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. She deserves our gratitude, not political exploitation by a shameless president who scapegoats immigrants to swell his power.

Thank you to our essential healthcare workers!

It’s crazy to watch healthcare workers go from “essential” in 2020 to “unprofessional” in 2025! And the professions are largely female!!
