I don't like Newsome tbh. For a variety of reasons
Ronald Reagan, a cold man who ignored the AIDS crisis because he was a homophobe and craved the votes of other homophobes, is *not* a reminder of anything good or decent.

He'll start a war to:

1. Distract from the Epstein Files
2. Steal oil
3. Justify emergency powers
4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment
5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

Here we are again.

We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.

This is wild!

You know the Vanity Fair article with Susie Wiles that everyone’s talking about?

Yeah. This is basically the audio version Narrated by Nicolle Wallace, and it’s not “taken out of context”. ☠️😭

Do yourself a favor and stay off Xitter right now. What’s unfolding there around Rob Reiner is a hate fueled, QAnon level, conspiracy spiral. A textbook example of epistemic collapse on the far-right. It’s vile, & after an already punishing news cycle this weekend, it offers no insight or value.

Rob Reiner was an acclaimed actor & director but he was also a vocal critic of Trump

He warned the American public that they only had a year to save their democracy

That year is almost up

Honour his legacy by fighting fascism. Fight for democracy. Fight for what’s right. Fight against tyranny.

An incredible list. Losing Rob Reiner is a tragedy on so many levels. #RIP

I am so fucking sad!😢😢😢
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Chicago is where Michelle was raised, where I got my start as an organizer, and where we built a family together. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, it will be our way to give back to a city that has given us so much. obama.org/presidential-center

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

War crimes are prosecuted at The Hague, primarily by the International Criminal Court (ICC). The court issues verdicts and sentences individuals for crimes like genocide, murder, rape, and torture. If convicted, Trump could be arrested.
