Florida Congressman Carlos Gimenez breaks ranks, publicly acknowledging a horrible truth. Talk is cheap. State sanctioned murder, defended by Republican lies, will continue unless you and your Republican colleagues actually vote against it.

Messsage to every single Democrat in Congress: Do NOT allow armed law enforcement agents to wear masks. Anonymity is danger equal to a license to kill.

No.

Our action agenda just got longer: contact your US Representative and your US Senator. No matter where you live, what party your current federal elects are. Let them know We the People want no further tear downs of cherished institutions.

💯 he should take his own advice.

Good on fixing a problem. But the language within referring to military service members as warmakers is truly unAmerican. The oath is to support and defend the US Constitution. It's a higher calling than to make war. Mr. Hegseth has lost his way, the American people and our military deserve better.

Follow the money.

Trump is a global embarrassment and a global threat. www.politico.eu/article/dona...

Modern version of Kristallnacht? First point accusing fingers then come the guns? This is NOT okay.

I'm not able to sleep ... my heart aches for Alex Pretti's parents. 37 years old, long life ahead, committed no crime. Executing him wasn't enough, the animals shot rounds into his lifeless body. Suspend all who discharged their weapon. Due process, then fire them, and charge them with murder.

If you haven't read this:

Fed prosecutor Essayli's words are "... dangerous and wrong" says the NRA. We agree. #midterms #WeThePeople #ALLthepeople

Alex Pretti, VA nurse, phone in one hand, the other visible, a legal gun owner. Gun in his pocket not his hand. ICE had NO right to do touch him. Grief stricken parents, want their son not to be murdered and not to be dealing with a cover up of lies and defamation. #midterms for liberty's sake.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Senator Blumenthal has always been a good neighbor. How do I know? I live 15 minutes from the CT/MA stateline!

Are you bored with peace? Do you crave a violent government that pries into your private life? Are you dim enough to stick with a pathological liar and huckster who doesn't care about us? Then hop on the Board of Peace train, a new scam from the Trump White House (pay at the door and move along).

“Trump’s promises and statements are unreliable but his scorn for Europe is consistent. We will have to continue to show resolve and more independence because we can no longer cling to this illusion that America is still what we thought it was.” We have no choice. It's all about #midterms

I've got a lovely picture of me with Rep. Jefferies ... at the time I was so sure his biggest fan being Nancy Pelosi was a good bet he'd be a leader we could count on when the chips were down. The chips are down. Whip those votes.

@petticoatshrink.bsky.social from one prideful femme to another ... this follow was meant to be.

Nearly lost my sip of tummy warming winter tea on that one!

DJT: Dr. Doom without the genius part ... just the evil.

Dr. Doom is lost in Davos. Get the guy a GPS.

In the President's big speech at Davos, he keeps referring to America's need for Iceland. He came here to ask for Greenland.

Dr. Doom goes to Davos commercial???

Canadian PM Mark Carney described the current moment as a “breaking of the world order, the end of a pleasant fiction and the beginning of a brutal reality where the geopolitics of the great powers is not subject to any constraint.” And you thought I was exaggerating the Dr. Doom thing?

The bullying goes global for DJT's new world order. Note to Dr. Doom ... don't count the good guys out.

No need for a clever intro. Ay yi yi.

Watch that. And then tell me how we replace Schumer with her

How much more will it take before there's a genuine foot down put on this dangerous chaos?

I do not for one minute believe, that in creating ICE, President George W Bush intended to include stomping on the freedoms of expression guaranteed by the US Constitution. And definitely wouldn't be trying to deport folks based upon race, color and/or creed. Mayor Mamdani's statement is truth.

Or worse... he didn't mean it.

One of those texted "opinion polls" asking if I approve of DJT's birthday as a federal holiday ... ha! Might consider a day of mourning. Can't make this $#!+ up!

When this first came up, I wondered, "Is this real? It can't be this bad." Make no mistake, folks ... this chaotic, narcissistic and truly damaged individual appears, no exaggeration, bent on destroying hopes, homes and futures. I should have stopped at bent.

Let's be clear, they are booing DJT's America, not the America of promise and freedom. There's hard work ahead ... we honorable in opposition, for love of country, have a task ahead. If you need inspiration, find the new governor of VA in the comments. Have hope. Work it. America is worth it.

Trump told POLITICO, after reportedly reading a series of posts from the Iranian leader blaming Trump for the deaths of protesters. “The man is a sick man who should run his country properly and stop killing people." Try taking your own advice, Mr. Trump. #PotMeetKettle

Let's add, "against the people of the United States."

Just doing their jobs? Read every word, then tell us what you think?

Trump's response to Denmark and Greenland sticking together and invoking the loyalty of the NATO Alliance. "That's your problem." Everyday with that guy feels like Bizarro World.

Looks like an escalated version of Minneapolis. Are we a nation of laws, respectful of the Bill of Rights? Protesters killed by enforcers, not kept civil by community keepers of the peace. Remember when our police officers' goal was keeping life safe? This is heavy stuff.

Wanna know what modern fascism looks like? Turn on the television, turn off the sound and watch what's happening in Minneapolis. This is not okay. youtube.com/shorts/BqCqI...

“There’s been so much hateful rhetoric back and forth, and what’s been missed is painting a picture of who Renee was,” Good’s sister-in-law Jessica Fletcher tells Andrew Gumbel. #Renee #StayStrong

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

The current administration is out of control... and our protectors are no longer. Never, ever thought I'd say this about the land I love. A nation of laws true to our US Constitution and Bill of Rights sure feels out of reach.

And in Iran he's still talking to the Shah's son. He keeps making stupid mistakes. All while claiming they "won't mess with us" ... he's living a fantasy, a DC comics version of Justice League. Only he's Dr. Strange sitting in the DC. Oval Office, not Captain America.

This is nucking futs ... Target? Seriously?

Agree with Pope Leo? Repost. It's not AI generated, it's what a leader following Jesus's path does.

Definitely not AI generated and scary enough to call foul play afoot from disrespectful law breakers.

Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

Lord have mercy... maybe this is the end of days. Is Amazon sold out of tin hats with antennae yet?
