Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

Virginia’s Democratic controlled legislature has officially passed legislation prohibiting schools in the state from teaching lies about the January 6 insurrection.

Love this, all blue states should follow their lead and do the same.

NO warehouses for ICE detention centers! The Department of Homeland Security has a disturbing history of creating unsafe conditions for people being detained. Last summer, hundreds of people faced potential diseases from swarms of mosquitoes...

You need to stop being brainwashed by Republicans about immigrants and trans people and be more worried about straight white men….

Maybe I’m too demanding but I’d really like a definitive answer on why the United States started a war in Iran and what we are trying to accomplish.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

They always have trillions of dollars for illegal wars in the Mideast, but SCOFF in your face and clutch their pearls when you ask for universal healthcare. You are all being played.

My wife and I took our grandson to vote yesterday.After voting we had traditional Texas BBQ. I remember when my great grandfather took me to vote with him when I was 5. I can still remember standing in the old voting booth with the curtain closed around us. Great memories #ProudBlue #USDemocracy

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, whilst starving Cuba, whilst genociding Palestinians, whilst threatening to invade Greenland…

Clearly, the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close…

Meanwhile, we’re all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

Five decades of US drumbeats for war with Iran and too many of the posts I’m seeing are claiming that Trump was pushed into this, implication being against his will, by Israel.

This is aligned interests, not a vassal state power playβ€”don’t let the bipartisan war machine off the hook

As the U.S. and Israel began a coordinated military offensive against Iran on Saturday, the country acted swiftly on its promise to retaliate, targeting U.S. interests across the Middle East. trib.al/TfuOShC

If this country was truly β€œpro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about β€œlife.”

It’s about control.

Say it with me:

Puerto Rico is part of the United States, you ignorant racist fucking morons!

Seriously, you ought to be embarrassed by your weak pathetic pettiness in creating your on β€œhalf-time” because a Latino is performing at the Super Bowl.

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio MartΓ­nez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

This would be akin to President Biden speaking to the FBI agents right before they searched Mar-a-Lago. I'm sure Republicans would have been totally fine with that.

Remember when Trump promised to sue the dozens of women who accused him of sexual assault?

What ever happened to all that?

So QAnon spent years spreading conspiracy theories that the government was run by a cabal of elite pedophiles and it turns out they supported the actual cabal of elite pedophiles to get into power and destroy democracy.

Congratulations to my friend and our newest State Senator from Tarrant County, Taylor Rehmet! I met Taylor years ago through labor organizing.

Don’t tell us what can’t be done in Texas. When we show up #TexasTough, we change the game. Today we proved what we’ve known all along: Texas is in play.
