Q: You said the US is going to run Venezuela. So who's in power right now?
TRUMP: Well, we're gonna be running it with a group. We're gonna make sure it's run properly. We're gonna rebuild the oil infrastructure which will cost billions of dollars.
Gift link, as I encourage you to read this in its entirety. We have work to do, fellow Americans. We are up to the challenge, if we choose to be.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.
Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.
Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.
The taco piggy is lowering tariffs, the very same tariffs he raised, “with an eye toward grocery prices.” Now he and his minions can say “look, we’ve lowered prices.”
What an insult to think that we’ll fall in awe of all the snorting coming out of him.
It’s so tiring to me but I’ll never give up.
John Fetterman survived a stroke in 2022, which would be considered a pre existing condition.
He has a defibrillator for vfib, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000.
He was one of 8 Dems who voted to gut the ACA and reopen the government.
He doesn’t have to worry, he has healthcare for life
I went to a political protest for the first time ever today. I did it for my grandkids who have skin color that falls on the darker side of the color spectrum. I have been afraid for them.
I was encouraged to see for myself the extraordinary number of people who were there. I shed tears of relief.
WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL DEFEAT THE Anti-Truth, Anti-Democratic, Anti-American Criminal Fascist Putin/Trump/GOP/Project 2025 Corporate Fascist NAZIs...Count On It! - Tick F-Ing Tock!
This is why Americans DON'T SUPPORT LYING ANTI-AMERICAN FASCIST CRIMINALS like child-raping Trump.
UNITE, RESIST
I’ve been trying to convince friends and family that the time of remaining “non-political” and putting their hopes on unicorns and rainbows flew out the window a looooooong time ago. Get out there and resist! So far, it ain’t working. I don’t get it.
Naturalized citizen here. Yes - a United States of America citizen. I used to travel but once I reached the point of wondering if I should carry my proof of naturalization (and then worrying that “they” may accuse me of forging it) in addition to my passport and driver’s license…
Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
The more Mike Johnson delays an Epstein vote, the more my suspicious mind wonders if maybe his good name is in one of those files?
Mikey?

I don’t agree with everything Gavin Newsom says/does but he is my governor from my state and he is one of the few putting himself out there to call out the squatters in the White House.
PSA, since it's the beginning of the season: Please stop whining to me about the online behavior of other people, companies, etc. I am the boss of one woman (me) and one dog (Lenny).
