Beware, this video is powerful. We really need to stay focused though. Distractions are becoming a second way of life with this regime

β€œThe American military is tremendous. It is the greatest in the world.”

I applaud the members of our military and we have very expensive technology.

But organizations are only as good as their leaders, and we have some dumb people running our military. It shows.

Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.

I can so relate to this.

Bondi Is Said to Move to Military Housing Because of Threats

They're all living in bunkers now.

This Trump Administration won't leave legally or peacefully because they know they've committed crimes and will be - hopefully - held accountable.

Elon Musk is on trial for securities fraud in San Francisco right now.

~40 jurors were dismissed for bias. His lawyers just filed for a mistrial. And the jury has seen emails from his own bankers suggesting he use the threat of walking away to drive down Twitter's price.

Nothing to see hereβ€”just the Trump administration officials who'd oversee an invocation of the Insurrection Act and subsequent martial law declarations moving into military-base housing.

Miller, Bondi, Rubio, Hegseth, the Secretary of the Army and Secretary of the Navy...

Pay no attention to this.

NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).

With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller’s 34.5%.

Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.

The US/Israel led illegal war on Iran has so far killed:
β€’7 US soldiers
β€’13 Israelis
β€’1200 Iranians (mostly civilians)

Iran is targeting military bases. USA & Israel are targeting civilians. This start is a repeat of the mass collective punishment on Palestinians. Congress must shut this down NOW.

Catch up quickly. Learn some stuff.

Notes: Congress, the House & the Senate, are the only ones that can make a law. The House is the only chamber that can originate a revenue measure.

Congress can override the President.

Saying that you -must- be grateful is what domestic abusers and Russian prison guards do. You must take the violence and say you like it. It is a mark of fascism.

Quite amazing the way Leavitt lectures the press and insists they should be "grateful" to the Trump government. She also says media should be grateful to the armed forces, but she leads with the "administration" then quickly catches herself and switches to the troops.

The anniversary of #bloodysunday in Selma is about honoring the courage and power of the foot soldiers from that day in 1965, and recommitting to the fight for voting rights. On Sunday, I was honored to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge with those brave foot soldiers…

If you support election finance reform, call your state reps! This bill passed the Senate elections committee on a 6-5 vote (all dems in favor, all repubs against) and now moves to the judiciary committee. I hear Rep. Greenman is carrying a similar bill in the house. Let’s help them get it done πŸ’ͺ

They spent over $140,000 on the ward 7 race alone. Working people can’t compete with that! They used nonstop ads and mailers to sow confusion and distrust, turning so many away from wanting to engage in electoral politics.
