The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.

Gaza genocide: The urgent task is not symbolic recognition but holding Israel accountable

Contrary to claims of advancing peace, recognising 'Palestine' gives cover to Israel's settler-colonial project while Palestinians are starved, dispossessed and denied genuine sovereignty

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

I never had much regard for Heather Humphreys as a Minister, but the level of vitriol she’s firing around the studio during the #rtethisweek debate is highly unpresidential. On the other hard Catherine Connolly is unflappable, reflective and calm … #connollyforpresident #aras25

‘Rape’ is not a political football. The attempts to use it to score political points against an opponent is irresponsible, crass and incredibly offensive #Heatherhumphries #jennifercarrollmcneill #finegael #Áras25 #Áras #Speirgorm

Business business business, money money money. That's all FG ever know.

Government is about people and the most important person in a democracy is the citizen.

Catherine Connolly is independent, intelligent and inclusive.

The ideal candidate for President.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

“When every conversation begins in suspicion, people stop listening altogether. That’s not politics — it’s paralysis.”

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.

NEWS: "Donald Trump is a pedophile who routinely raped young girls."

MAGA: "So boring."

NEWS: "Donald Trump is allowing Qatar to build an air force base in Idaho.”

MAGA: “This is IMMORAL! What an outrage!!! I will not stand for this wicked behavior!!!”

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.
