You cannot support the freedom and democracy for the Venezuelan people without the Left undermining or outright attack you. You are literally pushed in to being Far Right for supporting the removal of an evil man. No one on the Left supports removing Maduro & actively attack those who do.

This is a problem and so isn't more than half of Americans living in suburbia. It is a dangerous combination. Suburbia robs us of democracy. It lacks the New England small town hall meeting energy or many democratic outlets of cities. It robs of public spaces and community.

Maine’s border towns feel decline in Canadian visitors: ‘Half our community is gone’

Dr. Deb Houry, former CDC chief medical officer: “I have many that won’t speak about vaccines now and have removed their names off of papers. They don’t wish to present publicly anymore because they feel they were personally targeted because of misinformation.” This is frightening.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

There are really two different Whites in America. Those united behind universal principles and American values, and those anchored in racial identity and Confederate Culture. The Confederate Culture has held this country back, and turning it backwards.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

I always think about covid lockdowns and who was considered an essential worker. It wasn't the billionaires or the overly comfortable upper middle class office workers. It was the people who feed us, care for us, and keep the lights on, the people who are at the bottom of the economic ladder.

Looks like Ted Williams giving some hitting advice to a young Yaz. They never played together, Williams last yr was 1960, and Yaz’s 1st yr was 61, but combined they played 42 yrs, hit 973 HR’s, won 9 Batting tiles, led the league in OPS 14x, had 17 top 10 finishes for MVP, and were in 37 AS Games.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

It’s not just Newark: Nearly all air traffic control facilities in the U.S. are understaffed.

A National Weather Service office in Kentucky was scrambling to cover the overnight forecast on Friday as severe storms moved through much of the eastern U.S. The office is one of several left without an overnight forecaster as a result of cuts ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency.

The U.S. and the United Arab Emirates have signed an agreement that will help vault the Gulf country to become a rising power in artificial intelligence.

Proud of the garden I created from nothing 6-8yrs ago. Been 100% neglected (no watering, pruning etc) for 3+ yrs. If you plant drought tolerant, location suited flora, you don’t need large amounts of work once established. All desperately need a prune/tidy up… soon hopefully💜😊

Tulsi Gabbard, again, states she has removed Hillary Clinton’s security clearance. August 30, 2018. Hillary Clinton asked for her security clearance be removed. This was nearly 7 years ago. It was removed by the State Department as per her request. Chuck Grassley released the letter.

Today a court blocked co-Presidents Trump and Musk from shutting down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This fight isn't over. The case will continue in court, and all of us need to keep fighting for the agency that has returned $21 billion to families who were scammed.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

these beltway-pickled dopes really think anyone will give a single solitary shit that they voted for cloture but NOT the bill. meanwhile these are headlines right now:

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.
