I don't know, but I guess it bothers me some that the President of the United States posted on social media that it is his great honor to be killing people. 🤷‍♂️

Talarico on Trumpworld's "short term pain" talking point: "I'd like them to tell that to the parents of the American troops who have lost their lives. That is not short term pain. That is pain that will last forever ... no one asked for this."

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

I join a weekly protest at the Boston area ice detention center. Pretty much all of us are oldster veterans of protests back to Vietnam. Generally the passing traffic is all honks and thumbs up, but, hilariously, we recently got a young driver yelling "Get a job!" Takes me back.😊

Yep. Very few young Barbs.

No you just don’t know any. Go to a protest

Holy shit they just let this go unpunished?!?!?

Trump’s war of choice against Iran has been a self-inflicted political wound, allowing Democrats to connect their affordability case to literally the most visible price signals in the economy.

White House insiders reveal Trump's desperate bid to escape war with Iran #RawStory

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

UN panel accuses Trump of "racist hate speech" that it says sparked "human rights violations" The White House accused the UN of "extreme bias."

A UN watchdog today criticized "intensified immigration crackdowns" in the U.S. and accused President Trump and other American leaders of using "racist hate speech" — both of which it said had "sparked grave human rights violations."

Must you lump all of us together? Please find another epithet ? Virtually every human I protest with at least twice a week is older than dirt. That’s what I’m calling myself this week). I’m a 1950 ‘boomer’. We aren’t all brain dead, protested Vietnam w Phil Ochs, Iraq, still here. Lots of us

Here's my bottom line:

Much of what they are doing is bad.
Much of what they are doing is unpopular.
Pushback is working.
We are winning.
Keep fighting.
Be creative.
Push for what you'd want.
Allow for insiders and outsiders.
Realize that change takes time.
Reduce harm in the meantime.

Well the regime has its priorities like the war and multi million dollar fuck jet and a Baby Grande pianos and God knows what else 😡

No matter what…

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

"Last Exit to Springfield" has been considered the greatest "Simpsons" episode of all time and having just watched it again, I can't disagree. Excellent writing, countless Easter eggs/spoofs, and a catchy song, wrapped up in a story of corruption and familial love.

It's as good as it gets.

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

How is that “you got no cards” statement playing out now?

We have narcissistic fools running us into the ground.

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

Despite massive bombardment and the assassination of Iran’s leader, the US has failed to overthrow the Iranian government. Instead, the conflict is expanding and becoming more dangerous. The war is devastating civilians and the stock market.

This is what happens when one of the stupidest people in history is in charge of your government.

PSA for Tennessee media: you are either calling out Rep Ogles’ racism for what it is, or you are normalizing it. There is no third option.

So, we all just accept the fact that we have shitty leadership who are too afraid to stand up for the country and get rid of this administration?

What they are doing is illegal
He is a criminal
They are all covering up sexual abuse crimes
It’s a criminal ring

We don’t need an Amendment for this

This is a super important topic for all who live near the Great Lakes. The realities of what is being proposed and pushed onto all of us. I appreciate the article by Dr Nichole Keway-Biber and look forward to her subsequent articles

Depraved. As private prisons make billions off this.

There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans.

But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world.

We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.

They have no problem spending a billion dollars a day on war, but fight for every penny when it comes to caring for Veterans.

Sen. Martin Heinrich: “Remember when Republicans said we couldn't afford those tax credits for your healthcare?

Now they’re burning through almost a billion dollars a day on their Iran War”
