Blue dot in a red ocean. It IS the guns. Stop voting for Republicans. Healthcare for all. Decency & kindness matter.

Paraphrased from Isaac Asimov: Democracy doesn't mean one person's ignorance is as important as another's knowledge. Science matters. Truth matters. Knowledge matters. Vote for those who adhere to these principles.

WHY AM I VOTING STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT? Not because I'm a Democrat. Not because I'm a liberal. Because every Republican on my ballot, and your ballot, is a Trump enabler. Trump can't exist without these guys. They make Trump who he is. They have to go. All of them. Clean sweep. VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

I've voted, I've donated, I'm still volunteering. The next eight days of waiting are going to be torture. If you haven't voted yet, there's still time to vote early.

Dr. Amy Acton testified before a Grand Jury at 12 years old about the horrific conditions and abuse her mother and stepfather inflicted on her and her brother. She had more courage at 12 years of age than ALL the Republicans combined had during both of Trump's Impeachments. #VetsAgainstGOP

Don't forget that nearly all Republicans in Congress stood by and supported Trump's... -Tax cuts for the rich -Cuts to the social safety net -Iran War -ICE abductions & National Guard deployments -Inflationary tariffs -Blatant corruption His unpopularity is theirs too — and the midterms are here.

Elon denies he betrayed the Ukrainians in the midst of a Russian assault in order to help Putin. But WSJ has the evidence: he did. Can we allow a drug addict from South Africa to run US military assets in the middle of a war? How did this happen? www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

wsj.comExclusive | Musk Ordered Starlink Slowdown That Blindsided UkraineThe SpaceX founder authorized the move and has been discussing Ukraine with Trump, but the president has denied ordering the restrictions.

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

The State Department has now covered up the memorial to the 321 American diplomats who died serving their country abroad. I personally knew a number of those dead heroes who gave their all serving their country. Some were killed along with their families. Trump and Rubio have erased them.

This was murder and it's appalling. The hatred and cruelty of this trump administration is inhumane.

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

At 16, Corion Evans jumped into the Pascagoula River after a car carrying three teenage girls plunged into the water. He rescued all three, then swam back out to save a police officer who was also struggling. In one night, he helped save four lives.

More evidence that Donald Trump is a sadist. Not an iota of hyperbole. Sharing original footage of William Chapman being mauled by a tiger is pathological beyond measure. He takes pleasure in other people's pain, suffering, & death – even more so when the deaths are violent and specifically, murder.

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995. The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders. Desperation is dangerous. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Impeach Trump. He is and has always been a Russian asset.

Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.
