Apparently, there are two kinds of people in this world.

1. Live and let live. Stand up for the rights and beliefs of others.

2. Everyone must believe what I believe, and if they don't, I will do everything I can to force them to follow my way of thinking.

Don't be a #2.

Dear Bluesky

Zohran Mamdani showed the Democratic party exactly how to win, but I fear they will totally deny the lesson. Meanwhile, ballroom boy has already pivoted to affordability. Please don’t let the old guard lose yet another election due to corruption and incompetence.

Thanks,

God

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.

“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

For folks who think Rockstar firing 30+ workers in the union isn't union busting - what do you think union busting would look like?

Do you think they'd come right out and be like "Yep, we're union busting"? Is that what you'd need to hear before you believed that's what they were doing?

Remember:

Repubs won the slimmest majority in the House in over 100 yrs & only a 4-seat majority in the Senate.

They have never had a mandate & have way overplayed the squeaked-out victory they got

What we’re seeing is an energized electorate fighting back & declaring, “We want you all gone now!”

Today we heard oral argument in the SCOTUS case challenging Trump’s illegal emergency tariffs.

These chaotic tariffs are causing uncertainty for businesses and consumers, job losses, and ripples across the economy.

We urge SCOTUS to restore order—for Californians and the global economy.
