gotcha... lol lol lol

This is worth the read from a combat veteran. Is ICE on a mission or a bunch of mercenaries?

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

FYI: In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

"January 6th didn't fail. It just took five years to succeed."

These people are lawless. Soulless. Ungovernable in the most literal sense. They are destabilizing the entire world.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time? Really American FB

We must hold ourselves to the fundamental truth that sovereign nations are sovereign. We must respect and maintain rules-based order. Anything else will lead to chaos and another world war. Congress must act and act swiftly.

"It was the best attack on sovereignty..." is the punchline that will be used at Trump's trial at some point, hopefully sooner rather than later.

I hear: Maduro deserved it. I answer: That’s not how the law works. That’s how mobs work. I hear: You’re defending Maduro. I answer: No. I’m defending the rule of law. Those are not the same thing. Whether Maduro is good or evil is irrelevant.

You know, I'm 70 years old, and I've been thru hell, climbed close to heaven, and touched back down here on Earth, which had everything necessary for humans to thrive. Greed has destroyed much. Maybe it's too late to save it. But we need to try.

Here’s Zelenskyy, freely walking in Kupyansk that Russia claimed to have occupied. So when we talk about “occupied territories in exchange for peace”, what exactly are we talking about.

Every other high-income country looked at the U.S. model and said, “Absolutely not.” They studied it. They compared outcomes. They saw: ✅highest costs in the world ✅worst equity ✅mediocre health outcomes ✅massive administrative waste ✅medical bankruptcy as a normal life event And they said, No!

It seems this Admiral may be a DEI hire - Dangerously Entitled Ignoramus...and now a war criminal.

Who wouldn't want this in their town? Reading and movies and beauty with enough commerce to keep it running. What a brilliant repurposing!

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

I can't put into the words the visceral hatred I feel towards the administration in the US. The pain their behaviour is causing to Ukrainians is unforgivable. Ukrainians have russians terrorising them with missiles & drones. Now the US is terrorising them with russian demands for capitulation.

You go, girl!

Powerful.

This is really bad for the king. apnews.com/article/trum...

In the 61 year history of SNAP, the program has never missed payments — until now, because of Donald Trump. Trump could send out SNAP benefits today. Multiple judges have ordered him to, and the government has the money. But he’s still refusing. Fully fund SNAP now.

The President of the United States cannot stay awake for more than an hour. He’s in and out of the hospital more than a patient with cancer. He has no idea who is being pardoned or given Carte Blanche over the use of US taxpayer dollars. We are being led by unelected people. I am angry.

Being on SNAP benefits for 17 years, I've NEVER been told I wouldn't be paid my benefits. NEVER. What is going on is BEYOND cruel. The ppl w/disabilities, ppl w/chronic illnesses & cancer, seniors already isolated, the 16M hh's w/children. WE REFUSE TO BE A NUMBER. WE ARE PEOPLE. WE DESERVE DIGNITY.

A Democrat, labeled by GOP a socialist and communist, carries strongly the voters of NYC. By the way this is 1932 when FDR had landslide victory across the country for President. And then this "socialist" went on to get elected to four terms.

This is the most horrible ICE action I have yet seen. The dad is clearly having a seizure, but they just don't care. ICE inhumanity is appalling. ICE is made up of our "fellow Americans," and I am deeply ashamed.

While millions of Americans went hungry … the government thought it necessary to waste tax dollars prosecuting a man for throwing a sandwich. They’re wasting money trying to determine if a sandwich can be a weapon. A sandwich is a sandwich. You know what it can do? Feed people. Let’s do that.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Dear National Democrats, You see how progressive politics can win in the cities. Now come back to rural America and help us take over the country.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Cities thrive not on fear but empathy, on cooperation not division. That's the NYC we know and love. It has found expression in this movement. And it is rising up at the ballot box today. Polls close at 9pm: zohranfornyc.com/vote

Welp — @davidhogg.bsky.social to Scott Jennings: "People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s why Zohran is resonating."

AOC IS A Leader and True American ❤️.......

This is so true. 👇 The underlying problem is that in neither sphere can they adapt as new information comes in.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

This is very good

“The president demolished the White House.” “The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.” “The president is why life is more expensive today.” “The president was besties with Epstein.” Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

My hubby and I joined +2,000 No Kings protesters in our small town in WA. Proud to stand with lions across the country and around the world doing the same. #NoKings #WeShallOvercome

I'm loving this playlist -- give it a listen! We're about 3 hours from the start of our protests in the PNW!

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.
