He really is the weakest senator there is. Two people have been murdered, there’s been no accountability, and he believes the Senate is powerless. He believes Trump gets what Trump wants.

"... the most paifnul cuts won't be in effect until after the midterm elections..."

Let that sink in.
The cuts in the BBB won't happen until after the blue wave, so as to make the 2028 Pres election favor the ones who made the cuts.

i think nominating Gavin Newsom will lose the White House again for Democrats. The party's left flank will stay home again because he's an empty corporate shell. The age of Democrats punching left to appeal to the center is over and it's now a matter of if the party as a whole realizes that or not.

Long read,
horrific read,
Absolute must read.

This is not a 'I'll read the cliff notes' situation.

This is a moment where we need to read and educate ourselves, because the media has failed us.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

What this ad doesn’t show: Ring also rolled out facial recognition for humans. I wrote to them months ago about this. Their answer? They won’t ask for your consent.

This definitely isn’t about dogs—it’s about mass surveillance.

NEW: Of all the states that voted for Harris over Trump in 2024, there's only one where a Dem governor is overseeing an ICE's 287(g) program:

Massachusetts.

We used to get the ULine catalog because of small business purposes, and I noticed in 2021/2022 that their catalog had some batshit antivax conspiracy stuff in the front and back pages. Needless to say, we got our packing materials elsewhere soon after.

Guys. I am signing off social media. I cnan't deal with the lies, the violence, the endless sense of oppression.

I am not sticking my head in the sand. I am decreasing anxiety.

I am not hiding from reality. I am ensuring it is not so everpresent that I obsess over it.

I am taking care of me.
