Empathy, decency, kindness, but strength in face of tyranny. I know my history and those who don’t should study Europe in the 20s and 30s…we’re repeating all the same mistakes.

Musk has groomed a cohort of internet creeps whom he launches like flying monkeys to attack his targets. Just enough deniability…

The Supreme Court decision should have been 9-0. The fact it was 5-4 reveals how utterly compromised the bench is in favor of right-wing authoritarianism.

Last night was basically what we have seen before, except this time the GOP lacks anyone willing to do anything but dutifully stand and clap like its Kim Jung Un’s birthday.

Johnson is about to do ANOTHER CR to keep govt open until Sept, since he has been unable to pass his own budget.

This was Johnson in NOV 2023: “I’m done with CRs. We are. We’re resolved.”

He has repeatedly broken every promise he made in this clip, & is about to do it again.

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S.

We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off.

Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

Firing upwards of 83,000 VA employees over the next year.
Cutting back to 2019 numbers? WTF?
1 in every 4 employees is a veteran.
What about the promises made to those who protected/protect us?
Outrage is appropriate.

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."
