Trump doesnβt care about the future. He only wants to consolidate his power right now. Iβm starting to believe that this was something that his cronies in the rest of the region wanted. The US military is now for hire.
My brother lives in the UAE - he can see Iran from his front door. Will the all-womenβs school he teaches in get hit by Iranian bombs in retaliation for what the US has done?
Distract with war to stop the low polling #βs at home. Typical.
Tell your rep: vote no on HR 7661.
List of what is wrong with the bill.
Names of those on the committee.
Call your reps and tell them that this is based on ideology, misleads parents, does not protect kids, and harms school funding.
House Reps have introduced HR 7661, βStop the Sexualization of Children Act.β Will ban LGBTQ books & βsomeβ classic novels. Call the House Education & Workforce Committe (member list here: edworkforce.house.gov/committee/fu...) Please call or write either party - they need to hear from you!
Hope yaβll are watching Move On/Meidas Touch Peopleβs State of the Union!
If you do nothing else today, watch Heather Cox Richardsonβs take on the US invasion of Venezuela. Yes, itβs the oil + a whole lot more. www.facebook.com/heathercoxri...
Crucial for the midterms!
While I think these actions are valuable, Iβm also in favor of everyone withholding their federal taxes - if we donβt give them any money, they canβt fund their insanity.
Sadly, anyone who isnβt white or from a European country should stay out of the United States for the FIFA World Cup. Go to Mexico and Canada, but donβt come here you risk being arrested and deported. So ashamed of this country.
What if we ALL (1) stopped paying federal taxes (except SSI), (2) stopped paying our health insurance premiums? Stop thinking we need them! They need us! β
On Tuesday night the country spoke loud and clear - Dems were told to fight. On Sunday night, 8 Dems caved. All βsafeβ - just re-elected or retiring. Schumerism at its worst!
This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly whatβs wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
Layoffs are reaching their highest levels since the pandemic, but America's corporate elite have never been doing better.
Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Heβs the most frightening person in the administration. Heβs running it all.

Itβs time for CA to stop sending its taxes to the federal government. If the dictator wants to cut off funding, we should keep our own money-itβs OUR money heβs not giving us! No more donor state for us!
If you care about our democracy, donate today! Yes on CA Prop 50! secure.actblue.com/donate/erra-...
The Wright only believes in free speech for itself. No one else has a right to their opinions or beliefs. The hypocrisy is astounding.
Notice how no one is talking about this anymore?
Not normally a conspiracy theorist but Kirk called for the release of the Epstein files and now heβs dead & the files are off the news. Trump knew about the death immediately and turned it into an attack on the Left. Hmm.
So apparently only the right gets to have opinions and if you express a different view you are going to be doxxed. See how that works?
Trumpβs Gestapo
I havenβt been on here much lately. I traveled in Europe this summer - people actually asked if we thought this was the end of US democracy and we answered, βyes.β Coming home was just so depressing. Wish I were feeling more positive about things, but right now, moving to Greece is looking good.
Read the article - many of these programs had zero enrollment or graduation. While Iβm always skeptical of why college programs would be cut, thereβs also some rationale here that makes sense.
