I wasn't sure if I would be going Oct. 18th until I started hearing them call it a terrorist rally today. Eff them. We have to stand up.

I'm sorry, did Temu Mel Gibson here just sat that the baby is *in* the placenta?

Is there any aspect of human biology this lumbering science experiment of a man can't get wrong?

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

it is unbelievable that these people who have all the power and all the money never stop whining about what victims they are.

These war fighters don’t appear likely to pass muster with our war-fighting Defense Secretary.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Zero reason to believe that these masked idiots in jeans, in a dirty, unmarked car, unable to hold onto their equipment, are anything other than randos posing as ICE.

Must be the same newspaper Kristi Noem read that said Los Angeles would be burned to the ground and would no longer exist if Trump hadn't sent in the military for that one burning Waymo downtown.

I can't get over that the American president told the U.S. military to use American cities as training grounds and be ready for war on American people and it barely made any news after maybe one day or less. Taylor Swift's new album gets more "news" coverage.

Hegseth: The military is for killing people and breaking things. No more rules of engagement.

Trump: I’ll be sending the military into U.S. cities.

Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."

So we are supposed to keep paying taxes to fund ICE and the U.S. military going to war with us?

It’s been 100+ years since the salmon have run up the Klamath River as they are now, due to the largest dam-removal project in U.S. history.

If we just quit beating #nature down, it will show us how resilent it is and return to producing the abundance & beauty inherent in it…
