DEMOCRACY DIVA

It will always surprise me that some people in the military continue to support Trump even after everything he's done to put their lives in danger.

These soldiers have lost their lives because of the Epstein files.

Basically all of the bad economic news this term is because the president deliberately decided to do something moronic. He is much more personally responsible for this than most presidents are for the downturns in their administration.

A Rockfish swims by a small cave where a medium-sized fish called a Cabezon waits. They're ambush predators, they wait on the sea floor hoping a crustacean or 2 or 3 walks by close enough to use their buccal pump. They suck in water quickly, expelling it out their gills and that makes a meal of a small crab, shrimp, and even abalone if they're lucky.

A Black & Yellow Rockfish swims by small cave where a Cabezon lurks. Both use the same strategy on reef where they remain motionless hoping a crustacean or another tasty animal walks by. When prey get close enough they use their buccal pump to suck water & prey into their mouths.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

And this is all he had to replace Noem.

Almost nobody in the media reported on the former Tory Government's sweeping power grab of the electoral commission. This week Labour have announced that they will reverse what Boris Johnson did and return the commission to independence.

Ofcourse Labour will get absolutely no credit for doing this

It’s worth thinking about how reporters in 1947 wrote how Jackie Robinson was trying to steal a job from a white player.

The racist playbook rarely changes.

Congress needs to end this illegal war.

The US and China opposed condemning Russia for it's attacks on civilian infrastructure.

They are OK with war crimes against civilians, putting them in the dark and cold at temperatures of -20° C, or -4°F.

This will not be forgotten.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled
Noem has been publicly shamed and fired, and I too can’t wait to see her at “Nuremberg 2.0,” but let’s be real:.They’re throwing a woman under the bus. The incompetent white men are skating right now and getting away with murder (and starting wars willy nilly).

I grew up in a farming family, and my father believed a good Farm Bill gives farmers the tools they need to thrive and feed our nation.

That’s why I voted NO on this bill.

It just keeps getting better every day …

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
