I'd like to live in a country where kindness is a political virtue and politicians talk about and center people at a disadvantage and who can't stand up for themselves
I don't want a politics thats all about beating up our enemies
BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
Given the alarming spread of infectious diseases, I'd vote for RFK Jr. Though really, they all need to lose their jobs.

allow me to provide context
Except it'll all go to corporations and not the people
BREAKING: The DOJ has been taking down certain Epstein file documents, per CBS News.
It is crucial to remember that America has a regime. The Trump regime. This is not a normal administration.
Every single person who is a member of his administration is there because they have one thing in common.
Lying to and for Trump. Sycophants.
This is the Trump regime.
🤥 @KristiNoem today: “I didn’t call Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.”
FLASHBACK: she sure did 👇🏽
Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

you know what? If you come on here and you say, "There is no use in voting. We're never getting out of this by voting," you're going to get pushback. And you should.
If you have suggestions, fine. Make them, but right now, we are actually flipping districts that haven't been Democratic for 40 yrs
It's the latest trade drawing scrutiny on the popular prediction market site for appearing to show an insider making profits on military secrets.
I'm trying to avoid commenting on the news for my own mental health but I still feel the need to comment on that "a state just legally codified the literal dehumanization of an entire class of people" feels like it should be blasting the headlines, and yet... nothing
The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
Only the "very best people." smh
For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks.

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol
Every time I see a report of ICE leaving Minnesota or Minneapolis I think "I wish" because uh, they're still here being assholes & terrorizing people, just not as much in some places but more so in other places best I can tell and of course people are still imprisoned in misery at Whipple & . . . 🧵
They're trying to make observing/filming ICE illegal.
Then we must show up in greater numbers.
BE UNGOVERNABLE.
Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.
The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.
We must stop every single proposed concentration camp. www.kjzz.org/the-show/202...
Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….
Wow.
