And Trump, too
And Trump, too
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”
-Dwight Eisenhower 1953
Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say what millions of Americans are thinking: We don’t want to fight a war with Iran for Israel.
Security dragged him out and broke his arm. Veterans are speaking out. The American people don’t want this war.

Exhibit A for why we need term limits. Stay focused on reasons for having been elected rather than time, energy & money on RE-election.
The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".
Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….
Racism, misogyny, etc, and abuse of all kinds fit together well. If the dignity of a human can be disregarded for one reason, it can be disregarded for any reason. It's all about power, greed, and ultimately, fear that the "other" might have more of whatever is coveted.
Contentment is underrated.
At our expense as taxpayers, too. Grifters, this whole administration.
There's a sexual predator in the White House. The Epstein files.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.
Rapists, murderers and drug dealers, right?
I think you’ll find that they’re the ones running your govt, not the people your govt is locking up.
Melanie Stansbury speaking to a crowd
Rep. Melanie Stansbury: “The United States government is engaged in an active coverup of the largest sex trafficking scandal & influence peddling scandal in the history of the United States — and Donald Trump is right at the center of it”
Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
NEW EPSTEIN SURVIVORS AD: “3 million files still not released — stand with us. Tell AG Pam Bondi to release the files. It’s time for the truth.”

#Epstein
Why do we need the files of a dead man when we have live survivors?
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
"FBI Election Executive?"
AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
“Imagine if we had to follow the law”
It is important to note there is no evidence the network disbanded when Epstein “died.”

Go find Joyce Vance's Civil Discourse post sent this evening. She shared a beautiful poem by Michael F. Dubois. It is fitting for the moment, offering quiet resolution and hope. May we increase in our determination to remain true to the values of compassion & justice. Thank you, Michael. And Joyce.
Ocean Beach this morning… just wow!!
It was never about immigration. Just mediocre whites terrified the world was leaving them behind and the billionaires who played them like strings on a fiddle
“There is no strategy other than to break people.”
