If Pete Hegseth were Impeached & convicted he would be removed from his position as Sec Def. The Senate could go a step further & vote that he can hold no Federal Office, which would prevent him from being "gifted" a Senate seat from Marsha Blackburn, should she be elected Governor of TN. #Hegseth

I wonder, if Hegseth is successful in getting Blackburn's seat, could/would a majority Dem Senate, vote to not seat him, based on his potential war crimes alone? #Hegseth

Oh look the convicted rapist and alleged child molester says "[the victim of child molestation/rape] is fair game." Who knew. He deserves the death penalty if convicted of crimes in the Epstein Files.

Trump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."

MINNESOTA: “I don’t think about myself. The youth are the most innocent. Anything you can do to save them is worth it.” ♥️ Endless stories attack the MN Somali-American community— but Ebro Ahmed🦸🏽‍♂️saves a bus 🚌 full of kids and stories mostly leave out that he’s Somali? 🤔

@maddow.bsky.social I've read articles how Elon Musk's IRS earnings are $85K/year. He takes tax credits for his 12 plus kid and gets $ back. If he only makes $85k, how can he give $300 million plus in campaign contributions? As a federal contractor he can't donate to political campaigns. Explain

My mom narrowly survived her first marriage; she escaped after her first husband-who had groomed her as a 15 year old child, raped & impregnated her as a 16 year old-which got her kicked out of school before 11th grade and had her parents marry her off to him before she could even drive…

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month — and today is Purple Thursday, a day to show survivors they’re not alone.

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."

~ 30% of Americans still support this fascism. Those who now disavow him after voting for him, will fall for this bullshit again. I won't forgive them and I'll never trust them. We should shame them and make it so they're opinions are never taken seriously again. I have zero f's to give.

the racism, fascism and violence at this rally should make those who have a conscience sick to their core

Want to learn about the history of our city?  Well you’re in luck. This month, we’re hosting a massive scavenger hunt across the city — all about the history of organizing in NYC. Sign up at organize.nyc.gov and come see the city through the eyes of the people who built it.

This is so wrong! Time to light up the capitol switchboard, local congressional offices, you local VFW, American Legion, etc!!!

Dorie Miller was only allowed to work in a Navy mess due to segregation, but he leapt to work a gun when the attack happened. In sharp contrast, Donnie Trump got five medical deferments to keep from having to fight in Vietnam. The USS Bone Spurs doesn‘t really sing

I finished 1st half of Paramedic school while having broken feet, chest wall contusion & torn rotator cuff & surgeries. Had to leave. School starts next week, should I/shouldn't I? 62 trips around the Sun. Maybe I should just enjoy semi-retirement and a life. Thoughts. #EMS #Medsky

There's no reason a politician should have a better healthcare plan than any of their constituents regardless of military service. I say this as a Veteran.

Chicago teen shares his experience in ICE detention centers: I am 18 years old and I just graduated from high school in Chicago. I was in ICE detention for 2 months and 10 days. They kept me in solitary for 2 days for no reason, alone in a room with just a toilet. They never let us go outside.

Never let someone tell you that you must excuse owning enslaved people or participating in killing Native people because someone was "of their time". Silas Soule was of the same time.

Get in, there’s a new secret political influence campaign paying people to post. This time, a network targeting people in Michigan. First paid to post about how hard it is to afford groceries and gas, the accounts have gone hard in recent days, supporting Haley Stevens. www.ms.now/news/haley-s...

Where's Ms Rachel? I'm in DC with 535 packets of children's letters and pictures from Dilly Immigration Detention Center. Members or Congress need to hear their voices and understand the trauma that they are enduring while a for profit prison company, Core Civic, makes millions.

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.    311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.    So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

Is it me or is NYPD Commisioner Tish wearing a Star of David? I'd say the same if she wore a cross. It'd used to be no visible religious symbols to be worn on duty. Is she trying to provoke? Wtaf.
