This one is a fun one!

Reposting this and a few other things for no particular reason today. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow and the next day, too.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

DOGE staffers attempted to assign a team and take control of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), but CPB leaders resisted citing federal law that protects the nonprofit’s independence from government interference.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Donold sends people with soccer tattoos to El Salvador and lets people with swastika tattoos go free.

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.

🔥Rep. Mikie Sherrill came in swinging: “You don’t give targeting information. You don’t give time. You put people in danger!” A Navy Vet and former Russian policy officer, she’s not mincing words—Trump’s team endangered American lives, and they know it.

🚨 NEW: VoteVets is launching a six-figure ad blitz across TV, streaming, digital, and billboards—exposing GOP Veterans dodging constituents while Musk’s DOGE fires thousands of Veterans. They promised to fight for Veterans—now they’re silent. Stop Elon’s war on Veterans. Demand Congress act!

Very dangerous times! www.instagram.com/share/BAItnU...

Can I help? Cause I am pissed too!

Any questions?

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Tom Friedman: "This is a total perversion of U.S. foreign policy practiced by every president since World War I. My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV.​"

I stand with Zelenskyy 🇺🇦

Russia’s greatest military asset is not any bomb, tank, plane or ship. It is the Republican Party.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

I heard the Pope dissed the shit out of JD Vance. Fuck yeah. Get his ass, Francis.

Drum roll please! 🥁 Starting now, use the code BHM to support projects for Black teachers and students. Donations will be doubled with the code, while funds last! Let’s celebrate the past and help shape the future. www.donorschoose.org/bhm25?rf=dcc...

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Just read Robert Reich’s post on Substack with the term “Fusk Muck” 🤣 and now it’s my new favorite term I’ll be posting everywhere 😂

Womp womp.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

Taking responsibility for your own actions.

No number of pardons or lies will change what happened on January 6. Donald Trump can’t change history. It was domestic terrorism, it was treason, plain and simple.

He didn’t put his hand on the Bible when swearing in. Probably because that would set it on fire.

We are on a path to oligarchy, folks. It’s clear as day.

Trump’s Project 2025 revealed a dangerous vision for the military, and Pete Hegseth seems poised to carry it out without hesitation. The stakes for our national security couldn’t be higher. Please share this graphic—everyone needs to see what’s at risk.

We need one of those political cartoonist to draw tRump as a puppet with Musk holding the strings so it can go viral. Musk would be dropped like a hot potato;) Can we please get that to happen at least??

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who has paid into Social Security their entire adult life and is determined to make sure Republicans keep their filthy fucking hands off of our benefits. Same goes for our Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. HANDS. OFF.

He’s going to turn us into Russia…

Another easy thing you can do to fight. Document.

Trump’s first big bold thing is to slap tariffs on our three biggest trading partners. We import oil and lumber from Canada, fresh produce from Mexico, consumer goods from China. Prices will soar as the import tax is passed on to U.S. consumers. This is madness.

SCOTUS was bent on protecting Trump no matter what. They’re the ones who sat on the case for half a year then gave him sweeping immunity. They’re the ultimate reason Trump couldn’t be brought to justice. Shameful.

This⬇️ I view Trump in the same way as I view Hitler, Putin, and any worthless, despicable , corrupt, destructive tyrant!

Cheapskate. The Donald pays better than that.
