When politicians attempt to destroy democracy, money always acts as the lever.

Thanksgiving, a moment we can embrace gratitude. One of the pillars of Zen. Gratitude, compassion, and humility are all pillars of Zen according to Roshi Bernie Glassman. All levers of an educational/spiritual adventure in life. Tools for our evolution into simplicity, the real levers in mind.

Crime only serves the corrupt and corrupted. If that is the way forward, it's a cliff.

In 1998 I made a trip to Nepal. I went up into the mountains. I met soft-spoken, gentle, sweet, funny people, living. It changed my mind about many things, as experience tends to. I applied it to my profession, nursing. Compassion, gratitude, and humility are the real tools of change. Lying isn't.

Only a criminal administration would figure out a way to make it illegal for members of Congress to call for the military to ignore illegal orders.

What's upsetting to me is lying. I know, it's been going on for a very long time. But, it's still a fact of reality. We can vote it out, if we start seeing what liars are doing and not saying.

Pete Hegseth is a criminal and stupid. Prove me wrong?

The Trump plan to end the war is for Ukraine to give Russia more of Ukraine? I mean, my training is in logic and this doesn't add up to a peaceful result. Russia will use it as a launch pad for more war. If there are any Russians left.

Democrat leadership needs change. We need clarity in opposition to fascism attacking American citizens.

There is no doubt that the Trump regime will ignore the Constitution.

Democrats can run on the economy. Like the previous four Democratic administrations digging the country out of Republican incompetence in the sense of tax policy. No one can argue with fraud and incompetence. It's all in black and white on balance sheets. It profoundly affects affordability.

Any American, who cares about their liberty and justice will be in the crosshairs of fascism. When your heart is intact you've become a target of crooks.

Russians are literally writing US foreign policy, they have more power projection in DC than in Kyiv LMAO

Television, or corporate America, is selling you out by the illusion that nothing has changed in America. When those in power intend to make the unhealthy, the unwealthy, and the unprotected suffer. This society is failing. It will fall quickly. A retired nurse can see the pathology.

When Republican fraud has been going on for decades by selling oppression of women and unlimited access to guns.

A 46-person list of donors from the orange felon’s MAGA transition has been revealed to include billionaires and crooks that he ended up putting in positions of power within the US govt. As expected. Everything surrounding him is corrupt, evil, immoral and incompetent.

For fifty years the wealthy in the country have planned for a day when their coconspirators were in power and finally, the tax system supporting democracy will fail. Republicans will transform America into a third-world fascist regime with the most advanced military in history. What could go wrong?

Fascism hates justice.

Injustice and tyranny are a Republican agenda.

Greed is the gear of Republicanism.

Trump and this DOJ are going to reduce the number of cases going to a jury. To give a judge the right to judge. I imagine they will continue to appoint judges who are extra-constitutional. Or, have the Supreme Court change the Constitution to allow it to do so. It's a fascist regime, after all.

I don’t care where you fall politically, this is very very bad and should absolutely not go through. EVERY politician needs to challenge this.

The perfect example of fraud is the Trump regime saying nurses are not professional. By a man who has done nothing in his life but serve himself. You see, nurses serve those needing care. There are no other conditions. It's not self-serving and it makes perfect sense Trump would assault compassion.

People keep reporting what Trump says. I think that is a part of the problem.

Trump and Witcoff represent fraud, in every form. Let's apply the Zelenskyy method. "Get the fuck out of our country." This I believe is a proper solution. This works for Americans. Real Americans hate bullshit.

Trickle-down economics was fascism light. A 'Reagan invention? No, a Reagan contributor's idea. 50 years of Republican Reaganism has turned into a Putin oligarchy exercised by a Trump regime. Now, on the streets of America fascism is being practiced by a fascist in our White House.

NEW: Civil rights and weapons experts cite the consequences of federal agents’ use of crowd control weapons: religious leaders shot with pepper balls and noxious chemicals. A nurse nearly blinded by tear gas. Protestors trapped, struggling to breathe. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

Every single day will be a retreat from ethics. This is an example of complete incompetence reflected in the regime Republicans have authorized to attack every aspect of American lawfulness.

This is exactly how a modern Gestapo acts.

Jeff Bezos contributed to the Trump ballroom. Jeff thinks he is safe.

The question, how did a conservative, religious-backed party turn into pedophile protectors? Greed brings all forms of fraud together? I really have no idea, but, it appears the wealthy have created a party of criminal intention and moral retreat. The Karmic part is that they believe they are safe.

The new prosecutor in the election interference case in Georgia has dropped all the charges against Trump and Republicans who tried to cheat their way into power in 2020. In just a short 8 years the Republican party has turned the law and order party into a fascist party. Crime pays.

Mark Kelly is a verified American hero. Setting a record in space, to be studied, to know how we can go into space further. A decorated fighter pilot. And, Trump is going to investigate him for sedition? When is somebody going to do something about this atrocity?
