I posted this on Facebook as I prepare to disengage from Meta platforms and recruit pals here: I don't believe that one person can have an impact on the oligarchy that has brought us where we are today.

Attorney Thomas Henry donated more than half a million dollars to help Paxton in the primary earlier this year against Sen. John Cornyn, but he posted this video today announcing his jaw-dropping flip in support of Talarico.

Hassett is not dumb and he's known his credibility gets called into question every time he gilds the lily. Looks like he is having a moment of truth finally.

He didn’t hold back. 🇦🇺💬 From across the ocean, this Australian gives a raw, unfiltered look at modern America. It’s a perspective most people are too afraid to say out loud, but it impacts all of us, no matter where we live. This is a global wake-up call. #USA #USAPolitics #AmericanCulture

This is one of the most authoritarian abuses of power Trump has ever perpetrated. Any member of either party who holds allegiance to country over must denounce it and fight back to hold the people who did this accountable. I stand with @repilhan.bsky.social.

Dems’ 2028 platform should include stuff like letting soldiers have beards, letting TSA agents sit down, letting generals get their promotions, etc. The deep state isn’t real but civil and uniformed services are. We need them to know which side respects their human dignity before MAGA’s next coup.

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

The price of gas in Deadhorse. You know who can’t afford these gas prices? Hardworking Alaskans. You know who can? Multimillionaire Dan Sullivan, who voted more than 10 times to jack them up.

West Texas Crude is cheaper than North Sea Brent. Highlighted reason is clear. Severe stress in international supply chain and seaborne transport. AKA Trump's war caused this and it benefits US oil industry only.
