The CEO of the Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust (BREIT), a company that has been raising housing prices by purchasing so many houses, was killed yesterday. I wonder how many CEOs have to die before we get gun control? Republicans actually care about CEOs. share.google/vHc2hYYgmYVn...

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

The far right support policies that result in the deaths of immigrants, pregnant women, children in schools, poor people, Trans and gay people. The suffering being inflicted in America today by people in power & people with money is unsustainable.

You know they're scared when the resurrection Hillary's email server. (While the current administration shares nat sec info in group chats on personal phones. How about an investigation into that US Senate?)

Unprovoked wars in the Middle East aren't sexy, short, or successful. That MAGA hat is red with the blood of Americans who will die bc of this: tourists, aid workers, embassy employees, service members. The threat is from all muslim extremists, not Iran's nuclear weapons.

My ex & I spent 3.5 of 7.5 years together during OIF/OEF. For four of those years, he was deployed in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. Unprovoked wars aren't sexy, they're self-destructive. They inflict as much pain on us, if not more, than it does on the "enemy." It destroys lives, marriages, families.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Every American is at risk. Not just from Iran, but from every Muslim extremist in every other nation who identifies with Iran. Aligning America to Netanyahu only benefitted Netanyahu. The real bully in the Middle East is America.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

Trump is tanking the economy so the rich (including foreign oligarchs) can buy companies, land, data rights more cheaply. The fact that doing so will wreak havoc on 99% of American workers, children, and seniors is acceptable collateral damage in that plan.

Replying to @moskov.goodventures.org

The average American has a median retirement savings of $65,000 verses the oligarchs hundreds of billions of dollars. So when we all lose 50% or more because he crashes the economy - they can swoop in & buy everything for pennies on the dollar. Simply put, that’s how they will own us.

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

Without taxation and regulation, the ultra wealthy and mega corporations exploit, overwork, underpay, under-insure, overcharge all of us. The govt was our only defense & that is being dismantled. The wolves are running the henhouses now.
