Are we talking 8pm US ET or Iran time? Devil in the details....

I just took action with @theactionnetwork.bsky.social: Ask Your Representatives in the Oregon Legislature to Protect Our Democracy. Take action here: act.commoncause.org/forms/join-o...

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Vote YES on the War Powers Resolution — No War on Iran. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/vote...

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

Interesting conversation about what it's gonna take to identify the next leaders and reform - not restore - the political parties. I hope whomever steps up to flip the tables on these current m'fn money changers has a clear mind, broken heart and clean hands.

Heard over PA at PDX: "Will the driver of the green Subaru Forester please move your car..."

Portland militarization for what? To build a weak man's strongman image at the expense of taxpayers and troops. Helicopter circling our area all day has put me on edge. This vet is not okay. Veterans Noise Protest. Join us in solidarity at 8pm wherever you are. #FDT #veteransnoiseprotest

Nobody cares about your ridiculous "Presidential Walk of Fame" display except you, you ignorant orange turd. Your ridiculous attempt to snub Biden only reveals more of you really are: a vain, self-centered, thin skinned, petty bully.

In case y'all aren't sure what "ladder pulling" means, ask Ana Harker-Molina, an immigrant herself who came from Panama at age 12 and became a U.S. citizen two years ago while serving in the Army.

Well done MAGA. You and your Daddy Trump have succeeded in Making America Gross Again. Hes just gonna keep making giant messes others will eventually have to clean up. But... egg prices are down in Texas, so there's that.

Sometimes I forget we're living in a nightmare. Then I wake up.

Remember the bully on the playground no one would stand up to while he stole kids' lunch money and bragged about it? You know the one: he was full of threats, had no friends, was usually the last one to get picked up after school, and always smelled like farts.

youtube.com/shorts/iYyIe... She's just disappointed because she wanted a Civil War, not a World War. I have a feeling she'll get over it $omehow.

Call me petty, but... maybe Dept of Homeland Security should know how to spell the name of terrorist groups on its watchlist...

I am now referring to what was once the Republican Party as the US Fascist Party

I am now a card carrying hardened cynic. Rather than feel relief, I feel disgust because I believe with all my being the bombing of Iran was a backroom tactic tRUMP & Yahu manufactured to boost their ratings.

It's become normal to roll through so many emotions in the course of a day in this tRump nightmare. Anger, disgust, frustration, fear, shock. Then back to my default emotion: sadness. I remind myself I'm not alone; most rational people are now living with deep sadness, which makes me angry...

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

And... the "loyal subjects" you thought would fill the bleachers at your pathetic birthday parade found something better to do.

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

youtu.be/liGagMjfyGE?... Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, may God bless you and keep you. But know that evills of the past involved police and soldiers finding themselves doing irregular things. Be ready to say no. #Timothy Snyder #OnTyranny

And look who showed up for Common Defense. Thank you, Bernie!!! I love how often he turned to speak to vets, not to the camera.

In before times, nodding off was reason enough to start discussions about a president's leadership capacity...

Wait. Does he know she's a woman?

NPR radio interview with John Bolton "Trump isn't smart enough to be a fascist." "He doesn't have ideas, he has reactions..." "Could easily be convinced to spend the rest of his time focusing on choice of carpets at The Kennedy Center." & I lost count how many times Bolton called DT "stupid."
