Husband/girl dad with faith that democracy is the way to go; still idealistic enough to believe it's achievable. The only thing I'm selling is democracy. Banned (3x!) by the fowl site for calling out GOP lies.

This is their playbook: No warning, no transparency, no coordination. Their goal here isn’t safety, it’s to sow chaos, fear, and intimidation.
We’re still gathering information about what happened in St. Paul, but what we do know is that once again, federal authorities provided no notice to local leaders or law enforcement.

Trump says he would 'rather not' extend Obamacare tax credits 'at all'

The POTUS said he prefers to let the Affordable Care Act subsidies expire on schedule at the end of Dec, saying that if anything, he wants the money to go to "the people directly."

Kinda sounds like they were estranged enough for him to drop a dime on her.

If they’re estranged, did the Trump Administration do Leavitt’s brother a favor and get rid of her? An appalling suggestion, but these people are appalling.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

For months, Ed Martin and Bill Pulte harassed Trump’s political adversaries with bogus claims of mortgage fraud. But in a twist, we’ve now learned that the DOJ is investigating Martin and Pulte themselves for allegedly improper conduct. lnk.thebulwark.com/4ofiJ8U
How Much Did Trump Stooge Ed Martin Blab to Alex Jones?
The InfoWars chief was hardly discreet in hinting he knew about DOJ’s “retribution” investigations.

he doesn’t regard Putin as a bad guy? He probably didn’t regard Stalin as a bad guy either. I guess there is a difference: Putin doesn’t have as many of his own people’s lives to play with. 👇

It can appear absurd to speak of friendship with animals, let alone trees. But is it so strange? Empedocles argued that our circle of belonging doesn’t stop with humans. Animals, plants, even trees are our kin, and so treating them well isn’t optional, but a moral obligation
Should we act morally towards trees? Empedocles says yes | Aeon Essays
Who belongs to our moral community? The Greek philosopher Empedocles had an answer: all life, from humans to the laurel bush

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “
