The only actual calls I make these days are to my representatives lol
Casual reminder that Congress has the sole constitutional authority to declare war, not the president or his shadow presidents.

Call your reps -->

Life is fundamentally about dosage.

Too much exercise? Bad for you.

Too little? Bad for you.

No one knows your optimal dosage for everything.

Only you can write that prescription.

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.

When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Hope everyone realizes the dangerous precedent this sets.

Khalil was abducted from his home & disappeared by the US govt for using his First Amendment rights.

Any dissent against the US or Israeli govt will now place Americans in danger.

We are all Khalil, whether we realize it yet or not.
Court ruling saying Mahmoud Khalil can be deported condemned as ‘unjust and alarming’ – live
