He dropped bombs on Germany. Good enough for me. Nobody felt the need to call out Rod Serling being in the 11th, which served in the Pacific theater. So technically anti imperialist instead of anti fascist. Serves no purpose but division.

Do you have a relative in that pic? My great uncle went through Sampson for WWII Navy and then Dad did for Cold War Air Force.

Did Schumer hire a new social media team?

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 2d

Someone like JD Vance, who has been on the receiving end of a lot of insinuations, should know to couch his language more carefully.

Anyways, I’ll be here, ready to make a deal to save Americans’ health care and reopen the federal government that Republicans shut down.

A headline from the New York Post reads: “JD Vance calls Chuck Schumer ‘one of the most famous Palestinians’”

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

Got to be careful with Chicago and Portland. Water mains could break anytime, requiring roads to be torn up and made damn near impassable. Shame if it happened near ICE detention centers.

Worded that wrong it's not 'Unqualified Pete Hegseth.' It should read, 'Pete Hegseth, credibly accused and sued for sexual harassment... '

Past shutdowns have resulted in $36 million/day of damage to park infrastructure alone. This one could be worse: open.substack.com/pub/wessiler...

How Bad Will A Shutdown Be For National Parks?

Rural communities could lose hundreds of millions of dollars a day, and that’s before mass layoffs

The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.

Here’s a thought.

Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

Currently live less than 5 miles from this. They applauded, called the business owner a criminal and remain willfully ignorant of exactly what went down. Disgusting. Oswego County Sherrif's office jumped at the chance to help, of course. The recruiting speech will work on those racists.

What doesn't get told in this story is the joy and praise by the local populace, how the business owner was vilified among the community and production is still lagging.
Maybe it could also mention the EXTREME SHAME this brought on the local Sherrif's office who ran traffic detail for the op.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 14d

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals."

1/3

David Bier @davidjbier.bsky.social · 14d

The agent admits he treats immigrants like "they're animals" and that he tells his kids that they are animals "all the time"

Today's bad take. Amelia Earhart was braver and tougher than any one in the current cabinet. Especially Whiskey Pete. She had more balls and chutzpah than him. And he knows it's true.
