...the worst kind of one party state.. "invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty." Hannah Arendt

Israel wants to be surrounded by rubble and is razing Muslim villages and 100 year old olive trees. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

People forget that we started the war with Iran on behalf of Israel 👇 and that we, the American taxpayers, are paying for it to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars. www.state.gov/releases/off...

‘Every war, when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac…’ 1984, George Orwell, ‘49

Over 294,250 families in Gaza don't have any sort of shelter that can protect them from winter storms. Available shelter supplies can reach just 18% of those in need, as the Israeli government is currently blocking 8,600 emergency shelter kits from entering Gaza.

Nearly $2,000. By my calculation, that is what the Iran war has cost the average American household since the war began nearly eight months ago. Nationwide, that adds up to $265 billion.

The race for #MI10 is highly competitive and will help decide which party wins control of the House. Let's help ensure that Christina Hines wins that seat. A good place to start is her website, where you'll find ways to donate and volunteer. www.christinahinesforcongress.com

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

Today, 62 former U.S. ambassadors and national security leaders endorsed my campaign for U.S. Senate. Their service spans five decades under Democratic and Republican presidents. Many were confirmed by Senator Collins herself.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

American voters...what she said...

Have you voted early?

Both Brazil and Serbia defeated fascism today and chose democracy instead. The United States must be next.

Wait til Trump is gone...

Wait til Trump is gone....

We have near final results from Brazil, 99.8% reporting: Lula 51.76% Bolsonaro 48.24% In 2022, Lula beat Bolsonaro's father by 1.8%; so he has nearly doubled his lead. Also, if you followed this thread & enjoyed it... be sure to follow me: I'll be tracking 700 US elections at once in 9 days!

Hoover made promises too. Then the Depression hit. Vote early!

Good question

Trump has created his own fantasyworld, not many people live on that la laa land. Rest of us has to deal with reality.

"She is young, brave, and decent; they are old, craven, and corrupt. The moral chasm between the hunters and the hunted is oceanic." "They'd have to be blind with bloodlust, or terrified of Trump, to pursue this case. But as we know,that describes them precisely." No doubt, a true American hero.

Elon is mad as hell and spinning lies mixed with conspiracies. Using civilian Starlink for drone missions is impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield.

Look at the size of this enormous march today in Brazil for Lula! Brazil’s election on Sunday is central to the major battles of our time: stopping the far-right, defending social progress and fighting climate change. The world needs Lula!✊🌹

HUGE CROWD for Talarico in Galveston. This county voted for Trump by double digits. 😳

MICHIGAN, BRING IT HOME! 🔥 Barack Obama reminds voters to vote Democrat all the way down the ballot. From the top of the ticket to the very last race. No skipping races. No sitting this one out. #BlueWaveIn10Days

Hi All, Just did an AMA with subscribers—was a great deal of fun and the hotel internet made it through (barely). We went over many issues from US politics, to the Ukraine War to military adaptation around the world. Anyone can watch it all. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/live-with-...

Amy Acton: As a young child, my brother and I experienced a lot of child abuse and neglect. We moved countless times as kids, and even wound up living in a tent in the middle of winter. And now my opponent has chosen to exploit my childhood to save his struggling campaign. But it's not going to work

Grateful to kick-off the weekend with folks in Longmont at the largest Dia de los Muertos celebration in Colorado!

Tired of the ads? Me too. Outside groups are spending millions on attack ads full of flat-out lies because they can't win on the issues. Alaskans deserve better.

"Mississippi is going to stun the world!" Senator Sheldon Whitehouse Vote!

This is the America I believe in. When barriers go up, our young people don’t back down—they organize, they mobilize, and they show up to vote. Proud of the students at North Carolina A&T, UNCG, Bennett, and Greensboro College who marched miles to the polls. Thank you students. 🙏🏻 VOTE BLUE.

That's no ticket to stand down, geezers. The young folk need us.

Trauma from watching their parents and grandparents get kidnapped and violently assaulted by masked Gestapo agents is also probably driving it. Trump made Hispanics 2nd class citizens. They no longer enjoy the same rights or freedoms as the rest of us.

Given all of this, it shouldn't surprise anyone to hear that 217k votes have been cast by Texans who didn't vote in 2024, and fully half of those voters are Hispanic.
