81 years ago, thousands of young men crossed an ocean and stormed this shore at Normandy—many never made it home.

Because of them, we are here. Because of them, Europe still stands.
Because of them, freedom survived.

It cannot have been for nothing. We must keep fighting for them, for all of us.

Donald Trump — a five-time draft dodger — told the U.S. Navy he “could’ve won Vietnam easily.” An insult to every American who actually served.

Schatz: People are seeing what chaos really looks like. We are on the brink of some very dangerous developments in the Middle East, and we have chaos inside the US—not chaos the federal government can’t control, but chaos the federal government is, in some instances, precipitating or making worse.

And he has the gall to suggest Trump is NOT in cognitive decline and instead says it’s just personality?! Fuck him.

OUTRAGEOUS and chilling beyond words. The whole thing was a set up.

I have been highly critical of Governor Newsom, but god damn.
This is what we need, and what we’ve been waiting for.
This energy.
These words.
This fight.

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

Exactly

Today marks 10 years — an entire fucking decade — since that Orange Buffoon came down that stupid escalator.

10. Years.

And a generation’s worth of damage to our democracy and human rights.

My dear god.

The man who shot Democrats in Minnesota and planned to kill pro-choice activists had been a registered Republican when he lived in Oklahoma, viewed "abortion as murder," had attended Trump rallies and voted for Trump. He was a MAGA terrorist. Corporate media should be calling him that!
