A lot of us veterans are not ok right now.

Do not EVER ask a veteran if they killed someone.

Do not ask us if we wish we could go fight again.

No human should experience war. Period.

β€˜We were ready’: Democratic attorneys general lead fight to stop Trump As some elected leaders choose to play nice with the president, Democratic AGs have done the opposite – to impressive effect

"[Democratic Attorney Generals] have collectively filed more than 50 lawsuits against the Trump administration, serving as a counterweight to the president’s quest to expand his power and circumvent the constitution."

In case you didn’t know, the new β€˜bravery’ is cheering on an eighty year-old, six-time Vietnam draft dodger who is using other people’s money to drop explosives on school children from bombers 40,000 feet in the air.

Anyone opposed to this kind of heroism is a β€˜sucker’, β€˜loser’, and β€˜coward’ now.

Donald on Iran: "When crazy people have nuclear weapons, bad things happen."

There he goes projecting again.

I’v been thinking about your comment: Mary Trump recently said her uncle has several untreated psychiatric disordersβ€”a comment on her YouTube channel, Mary Trump Media.
There’s also a book edited by Bandy Lee including 27 psychiatrists and psychologists called The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump.

I’m wondering if you watched the entire celebration of life? I did. It was a shock when he died. I found myself weeping throughout and shaking my head yes. Reverend Al Sharpton really did give us our marching orders. All of the presidents echoed how he blazed a trail for all disenfranchise people.

Oh snapppp!

Rev. Dr. Jamal Bryant at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson:

"The service wouldn't have been this long if were able to go to the Capitol, but the Capitol is now only reserved for pedophiles and podcasters."

Not exactly our country: Mitch McConnell. Making the excuse that he was already leaving the White House anyway. If he had been convicted of inciting the insurrection in the Senate in he would not be troubling us now.
What’s totally unforgivable is the Republican Party allowing him to run again.

You will not be disappointed by the information Democracy Docket puts out. Keep up the good work Marc.

For instance, if its a voting rights issue, I would believe the source of @marcelias.bsky.social over FoxNews.

We are at a precipice in our fragile democracy. Oligarchs don't like the idea of people voting. It cuts into their bottom line.

We desperately need to grow independent media as fast as we can. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket. I started it 6 years ago to be unapologetic pro-democracy. No corporate backers. It will never bow down or obey.

Sign up now to help it meet this moment. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

#OtD 7 Mar 1932 the Ford Hunger March massacre took place in Detroit. Police and Ford security killed four unemployed workers and injured 60 when they opened fire on a demo organised by the Communist Party's Unemployed Council stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1072...

Sorry, no matter when you are born you are responsible for being a human who is answerable to universal principles of accountability. If you commit crimes you alone must pay.
Your cyclical defense doesn’t excuse you from personal responsibility.
In the worst of times the best is demanded of us.

A Republican Member, Darrell Issa, tried to mansplain to me how I was conflating and making everything a β€œwomen's issue."

He’s wrong β€” and does not understand how many issues are all interconnected. It’s a pattern of not taking sexual violence seriously. So, no, I am not the naive one.

Ukraine's National Police has opened criminal proceedings against Hungary over the detention of 7 Oschadbank employees under Articles 146 and 147 of Ukraine's Criminal Code, covering unlawful deprivation of liberty and hostage-taking. Europol and Hungarian authorities have been contacted. #Ukraine

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

β€œ...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Both are true, but I’ thinking of the danger to the world with this Iran madness and the explosion of the Middle East.
We also got news today from the psychopathic angle: the first report in the Epstein files of a credible complaint by a woman that he attacked and raped her when she was 13.

A solemn yet beautiful and inspiring day. A reminder of our basic goodness as a country, our dedicated leaders paying tribute, putting in perspective the insanity and callousness of the Dump regime as a blip on our democracy. We stand on the shoulders of heroes. We shall overcome.
