We are being inundated with endless brutality, moral outrage and injustice, designed to train us not to feel, to scroll past suffering, to normalize the unthinkable. This, combined with targeted disinformation, is a dangerous combination making us all pawns in a game we did not ask to play.

This is not the time to look away. Turn your empathy and anger into action ... small acts matter, millions of them lead to real change. Love your people. Be kind to strangers. Do something good for someone. Do something good and nurturing for yourself. Recharge your heart and soul.

Love, kindness, empathy and courage are contagious. So much more so than hate and fear. We can overcome all of this and come out stronger, together. ❤️☮️🕊️

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is: In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

I’m just saying they have no uniforms, no ID, wear masks. Anyone can go to Cabalas & buy some camo, a flak vest, holsters. Get a fake handgun & paint ball gun. Blend in. It’s not like they would even know. Put your phone in the front pocket, camera facing out maybe a backup too & record everything.

I’m so tired of worrying about politics. I miss Joe. I never lost sleep when he was in the office. I never worried the world would explode into war with the President cheering it on, or my friends would be arrested by anonymous men in masks or billionaires would try to enslave us all.

Here is the full article confirming everything the litigators in the D.V.D. case had argued. Trump was about to send a dozen men to a country they’d never been to, to a place where they might have been dead or enslaved within weeks. Only the courts stopped him. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I’m furious. America, the country the world used to rely on and the world’s best friend, the one any country in the whole world, regardless of politics, everyone could count on in a humanitarian disaster. thousands are suffering die to the earthquake.

The country that did things that actually made America great, and taught every other country on how to behave, is “giving” the price of a tear down house in Vancouver to help the people of Myanmar. Where upwards of 10,000 people have died and hundreds of

The princely sum of 2 million bucks plus a whole three staff people. I’m sure that will do absolutely fucking nothing. Donald probably spends more than that on his stupid orange bronzer and the poor soul who applies it.

If you have never read a @GreggHurwitzbooks@blueskysocial Orphan X novel, read “Nemesis”. Gregg has cut through the bullshit at the heart of the so called political divide in a way not seen since Steinbeck. Then go and start from the beginning of the Orphan X series. You won’t regret it.

Also Gregg, seriously man, hats off to you. I can’t put this book down. Best one yet, and that’s a hard category to pick from my friend. Respect. Hope you come to Vancouver for an author event. Would love to shake your hand.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY

Watters: We are waging a 21st century information warfare campaign from the left…It's like grassroots guerrilla warfare. Someone says something on social media, Musk retweets it, Rogan podcasts it, Fox broadcasts it.. and by the time it reaches everybody, millions of people have seen it.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.
