It’s obscene to have this draft dodger whose children *never* served and whose father never served and whose grandfather was kicked out of Germany for dodging service, wheezing platitudes about the unnecessary deaths he caused to other people’s children who did serve their country.

Right now I am leaning towards the concept that our own President is more of a danger to this country than any other country is.

Trump is going to war for himself and his boundless, malicious ego. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-war

Trump got elected THE FIRST TIME only a few weeks after audio leaked of him bragging about sexually assaulting women. Trump got elected THE SECOND TIME ~6 months after he was found guilty on all 34 felony counts. He had three other indictments on deck. What lesson has this man ever had to learn?

THIS IS 👇 HOW IT'S DONE.......

"I don't know how to save the world. I don't have the answers or The Answer. I hold no secret knowledge as to how to fix the mistakes of generations past and present. I only know that without compassion and respect for all of Earth's inhabitants, none of us will survive-nor will we deserve to."

A great bit of cautionary advice.. Beware of a political party that is more focused on keeping people from voting than winning their vote.

Watching @maddow.bsky.social and the description of Noem’s jet. Given the level of grift and corruption going on, these people will never leave willingly…they’ve gotten used to luxury (in a government job!) and they can’t live this way out of office

Henrietta Lacks was a Black woman whose (ovarian) cancer cells were used wo her/her family’s consent. Her cells are what would become the HeLa cell, the first immortalized human cell line & one of the most important in medical research. #BackHistoryMonth

Epstein certainly had a talent for spotting the weaknesses of powerful, vain men.

You have to show ID to register to vote, if you are in a state that doesn't require it at the polls, you still have to say who the hell you are, and then it all has to all match up. People pretending illegals are voting are not only dishonest, but they are useful idiots. Don't be an idiot.

Here's a photo of the late Robert Duvall wearing cue cards on his body so that co-star Marlon Brando could see his lines during the filming of The Godfather.

We have now entered the "His Opponents Are Afraid of Falling Out of Windows" stage of Donald Trump's emulation of Vladmir Putin.

Trump's former attorney. "THIS IS NOT A DRILL!"

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

I was today years old. "Every 26 seconds, the Earth shakes. Not a lot — certainly not enough that you’d feel it — but just enough that seismologists on multiple continents get a measurable little 'blip' on their detectors. No explanation since discovery in 1960s." 📷 Discover©️

Why else would Trump add Lutnick to his Cabinet?

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Can we learn anything from these kids?

@nbcnews.com Should be ashamed of this interview with Donald Trump normalizing everything that he's doing, especially talking about a third term when the Constitution does not say a third term and The Fed not being independent, how disrespectful to the American people and the Constitution.

Trump reposting a video of the Obamas as "apes" during Black History Month and no Republican officials as of yet condemning him is another reason why every one of them needs to be defeated at the ballot box and shunned in public.

I just keep watching it disappear. Our free press. Our right to assembly. Our freedom of speech. Our right to due process. Our right to free and fair elections. Our protections from illegal search and seizure. Our private data. Our warrantless entry protections. All of it disappearing.

Some songs feel like people you grew up around. Even when they’re gone, the sound still knows their shape.

He tells us what he’ll do. We laugh, then it happens. He promised invasion; he invaded. He promised troops at home; they’re here. He promised retribution; prosecutors and investigators are now targets. He seized ballots; he’s calling to seize elections. This isn’t bluster; it’s a plan. Stop laughing

Not to say that these men don't deserve to be outed, particularly if they were involved in the Pretti killing. But how strange that it was only the agents with Hispanic last names that have been identified. I don't trust this Administration.

Is pulling multiple guns on U.S. citizens all these thugs know to do? They can't be law enforcement without a gun?
