I just try to make the best with what I have been given, what more can we do? For The Record, I had no idea 'Lest We Forget' and 'Never Again' were just parroted lip service until the WW vets got too old and dead for the politicians to worry about.

If you fall for the rage bait mostly 'trans women in bathrooms' 'trans women in sports' we should part ways now. I will never other another human being just because those that run forces and burn crosses and steal democracies tell me to. That is how it began in the 1930's Never Again Lest We Forget

While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I just want to say to America, while the majority can still afford the internet, thank you. Thank you for making the brain-dead disaster that is Brexit the SECOND stupidest thing a country has ever voted for. Have you decided what to call it yet? How about Trumpageddon? or The Great Trumpression?

“A.I. makes art accessible.” Art has always been accessible. There was like a six month period where I drew all the sketches for my comics with a lined notebook from the grocery store and a random green marker.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

All jokes aside, Reform UK have a total lack of integrity or accountability. And that’s what makes them dangerous. Their aim is to stoke divisions and stir up hate for their own political gain.

Despite wars waging on abroad and living standards falling here, Farage’s main policy priority in December last year seemed to be tackling the rise of ‘woke’ milk, like almond, oat and even semi-skimmed. And yet that same ‘woke’ milk was offered at a recent Reform press conference.

Andrea Jenkyns, Reform’s candidate for the new mayor of Greater Lincolnshire - is quite astonishingly - anti-mayor and anti-devolution. Here’s what she’s previously had to say about elected mayors.

Reform UK called net zero targets ‘stupid’ and pledged to scrap them. So deputy leader Richard Tice probably wouldn’t want you to remind him that he RECOMMENDED adding solar panels to his tenants’ houses in 2022 because they save so much CO2 and so much money.

These days Farage is often out cosplaying as a farmer, head to toe in tweed and Barbour. But since Brexit, British food exports are down 20%, meaning less income and business for our farmers, and they’re also missing out on a £3.5 billion subsidy available to EU farmers.

DOGE claims to have found billions of dollars in fraud yet not one criminal charge has been filed against anyone, just mass firings of federal employees. Which means they’ve been wasting millions of dollars finding absolutely nothing on purpose. The fraud is DOGE.

Disability is not a moral failing. It’s not a punishment. It’s simply part of being human. If you live long enough, you will likely experience some kind of disability. It’s one of the only minority groups you can join at any time. Stop treating us as less than & help us combat ableism!

🔥 US Project 2025 push to dismantle the EU The Heritage Foundation held a private workshop on it. There's a reason why the US right-wing Heritage Foundation (Project 2025 authors) wants to break up the EU team... …it's a rival to Trump’s power in trade, standards and values.

Meiselas: Steve Witkoff, was allegedly in Moscow while he was on this group chat. Do you believe the Russians now have all of that information and potentially more? Rice: Well, yes—the Russians have whatever Witkoff was doing or saying on his personal cell phone. The Russians undoubtedly have it.

We are now at the point were petulant teenagers are in charge of what was once the world super power, hopefully all countries are taking note, the countries with US nuclear arms should be terrified, Putin is very clearly at the helm of western politics.

"Foreign researchers who spoke to Nature are rethinking planned trips to the United States for meetings and fieldwork. And US scientists who are not citizens are weighing their own travel plans, fearful that if they leave the country they will not be allowed to return."

Well you cant be having 17 weeks off work, travelling overseas and not getting funded by someone or other eh Nige? Its all well legit!

Who is Bankrolling Nigel Farage? It's GB News, owned by a tax dodging billionaires based in Dubai, a tax haven. And Elon Musk and Donald Trump, American Fascist billionaires. These are Nigel Farage's owners.

Today, thousands of openly-transgender service members will put on their uniform and do what needs to be done because they honor their oath to our country, while Pete Hegseth denigrates their service and violates his oath by brazenly sharing classified intel in text groups. Just a reminder.

Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in Berkeley for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. Fuze claimed they were paid protesters and he went there to show his support for Musk and DOGE.

A couple hours ago, the FTC was deleting hundreds of blog posts. Now, Trump is seemingly trying to delete Democratic commissioners. Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya just posted this statement to X.
