This is a local tragedy to me but it’s made its way all the way to the TimesofIndia

Mikayla and SaveAFox are are an example of using social media and the internet for good, rather than $$, fame, likes, influence, etc

In this F’ed up world, she made better

Contrary to what the news is reporting and in spite of an assassin, a No Kings rally did take place at the Minnesota state capital today

WTF Hakeem. WTF Democrats. Move your fucking asses!!!!
The lack of total outrage at the indictment of Congresswoman McIvey is truly frightening.

Hakeem Jeffries ought to be causing high holy hell over this.

She is indicted because she is Black.

Half of the GOP caucus engaged in sedition and Garland felt arresting a member of congress went too far.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

I hate to say it but, I kind of agree with Minneapolis police chief O’Hara’s assessment that the city council’s ideology gets in the way of working policy
They have good intentions but they trip themselves up when those run into reality

Turns out the richest 1% contribute 20 times as much to climate change as everyone else combined. Maybe the super wealthy could lay off private jets and yachts a bit for the good of the planet

Trump wants Alcatraz back—what’s next? Reboot Mayberry, soda fountains, trad wives, gold standard, 3-martini lunches. Nix trendy food, bring back Bozo, drive-ins, suits & ties. Kill civil rights laws, onshore assembly, offshore tech. Whole milk only. Studio 54, big hair, DDT—it’s retro chaos

Seems like this should have made it clear to him,
“I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic….”
The
President
doesn’t
know
if
he
needs
to
uphold
the
Constitution.

This
shouldn’t
be
shocking
because
he
fomented
an
armed
insurrection.

So, yes, he should obviously be removed from office.
He’s violating the Constitution & nuking the economy.

Another example of maga just wanting to roll back the clock to the 1950’s & 60’s
It’s trump pining for the America of his youth - when white men ruled and women and minorities were marginalized or shat on
Trump says he’s reopening Alcatraz for prisoners.
