Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

ICE agents will continue to execute our citizens in the streets for as long as they believe they can get away it. There will be more executions like this. What are our leaders doing to prevent it?

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

The US is now responsible for the governance of Venezuela. Toppling the regime of a smaller country is always the easy part. The hard part is what comes after. Neo-cons always expect a pro-US nirvana. It rarely works out. But I suppose the oil companies can seize some assets.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

You guys I’m really sorry but I am never going to forgive him for ripping a side off the White House and I am never going to forgive all the people who could have stopped him but just kept going along to get along.

The Life of a Showgirl is just not it. Not a single song sounds like anything remotely related to the showgirl life. A good portion of the lyrics are downright petty, not poetic, and the album reminds me of something someone who peaked in high school would put out.

Right up until the minute Trump’s business ventures like Trump Shuttle, Trump Atlantic City casinos, Trump Steaks, Trump University, etc, etc, went bankrupt, Trump was claiming they were a huge success with big things right around the corner. Just like now with the economy.

Shut the whole thing down.

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.

Yarn lovers are facing higher prices, delays, and supply issues as new U.S. import rules take effect. With parcels under $800 now taxed and many postal services halting deliveries, several beloved European yarn brands have already paused shipping to the U.S. 😿 Read it: 👉 archive.is/lxp1v

I received numerous denials in the mail recently, which made me absolutely livid. I will absolutely appeal if able.

The erosion of basic principles like due process and the expanding use of our military on domestic soil puts the liberties of all Americans at risk, and should concern democrats and republicans alike.

People are going to die in large numbers because this corrupt president and his corrupt friends think there is money to be made in the Middle East that they are not yet getting. This war was inevitable, because the people behind it are monsters. That is factual, not an opinion.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.
