Any candidate who: - takes AIPAC money - supports Bibi’s genocides in Gaza and Lebanon - shies from prosecuting Trump’s unprecedented fraud - doesn’t go after the oligarchs for pillaging our nation - doesn’t address the corruption of SCOTUS, Congress or MSM …can forget about earning my vote.

Trump performed fellatio on a microphone and talked about Arnold Palmer's penis and raped a woman and most likely, allegedly, raped girls with Epstein and that's all fine and dandy with MAGA.

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started:

Pretty good way to pay and incentivize foot soldiers to do your bidding, even if it crosses lines. This is basically how warlords control territory in the absence of a functioning law and order state.

Rosen is right, blah, blah. Yes. But where she and other Democrats fail is in their tone an approach. Rosen, in this instance, is *appealing* to Hegseth's non-existent better nature. She is *asking* him why he chooses to be "hurtful." She is *imploring* him to consider that "words matter." 🧵

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

A heart-breaking moment captured in an SS photograph of a group of Hungarian Jews at Auschwitz II-Birkenau in or around May 1944. A child found a flower & is giving or showing it to an older boy. All the people in the picture were murdered in a gas chamber moments later.
