Gen Z Wan, Youโ€™re My Only Hope Gen Z, the demographic born between 1996 and 2010, must recognize the vital importance of voting as they reach voting age. Voting is not only a fundamental right but also a powerful tool for this gโ€ฆ

My hope as a nearly 79 year-old who has voted in every election since (literally) my 21st birthday - 06/04/68, California primary. I voted for Bobby Kennedy, who was assassinated that night.

I can't watch the "dignified transfer" of a fallen servicemember without tears. I just wish our socalled "leaders" showed the same respect to the living.

I've spent the better part of nearly 79 years learning to be a man; a good, empathetic, thoughtful, and honest man. A Mensch.

There isn't one single thought or action of either Trump or Hegseth that is remotely useful as a guide for how to achieve that objective as a man, let alone a human being.

The biggest problem I have with the time change (PST to PDT and vice versa) is dealing with the expectations of our dog and cat wrt feeding time. Personally, it's like flying to an adjacent time zone. Takes one day to acclimate.

PS - I prefer having more sunlight in the PM.

White supremacists have no place in the U.S. They've contributed absolutely nothing to our society.

The arrogance of the Trump regime is astounding! No recognition of the west's colonialism/imperialism in creating these problems.

I was 22 and actively working with the Peace Action Council in L.A. I was at Altamont, which tried to be a West Coast Woodstock, but failed miserably.

Evidence that men should not be allowed to lead our country at all.

Voting is extremely important this year. It's important every year in every election, but this year can be transformative.

The end-times theology driving US intervention in Iran โ€“ Baptist News Global Today, there is a part of American foreign policy that is influenced by apocalyptic evangelical theology, says Josh Olds.

The U.S. is being "led" by batshit crazy religious extremists, who believe the end times are near and Armageddon can be brought about via armed conflict in the Middle East. These idiots believe Trump has been "anointed" by God himself to bring about the second coming of Jesus Christ. ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ

Yes, we do ... and contempt seems too tame a word to describe how we really feel.

Sexism from Republicans?

No way.

More like vicious misogyny.

Fucking pigs.
