FWIW, I think both Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico are awesome and I think either one would be a great nominee.

I’m 25% Norwegian, 50% Ukrainian, 12.5% Transylvanian, and 12.5% Irish / European other.

I want to know more about the culture of Transyvania and Ukraine. Other than Borscht and Goulash, I got nothing.

So someone who spent 10 years running CIA missions in Afghanistan lost his shit and shot people. Things like this have happened before, and they are just framed differently.

Just finished listening to Defectors by Paola Ramos.

Very insightful. People who assume Latino immigrants would have progressive politics haven’t paid attention to the anti communist propaganda the US has been pumping into Latin America.

If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future.
Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!!
Sen Dems: You guys promise? We are trusting you
Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

Listening to BBC on the way home.

A video of IDF soldiers sexually abusing and torturing Palestinians detainees leaks. The abuse and torture is not the scandal though - the fact the video leaked is the scandal and their head lawyer had to resign in disgrace and go to jail. The torturers are free.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

What I want to say to anti vaxxers - I hope you all get tetanus and remove yourself from the gene pool. But I’ll get banned from most places for saying that.

Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID?

And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina.

Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.

THESE are the promises I want to hear.
We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.
EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Trump gets rid of food inspectors, and I’ve had food poisoning twice in the last 30 days. The first time I had to be hospitalized.
