Today, I’m glad he isn't here to see what has become of the country he fought so hard to preserve for me and for future generations & loved so dearly.

Dad, I want you to know that I’m doing everything I can to make you proud & preserve the democracy you were willing to lay down your life for. RIP.

My dad was a belly gunner in a B-29 in WWII. He was a true hero… Purple Heart AND Distinguished Flying Cross. He (barely) survived 24 missions over the Himalayas when he was just 18. He watched his friends get shot down over China & our sailors massacred at Pearl Harbor. He died in 2018 at 94.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

@carolineskitty.bsky.social ICE is NOT about Immigration & Customs Enforcement. It's now 100% about terrorizing people and conditioning us to live in an autocratic Police State!

We should all be saying this loudly every single day so people do not accept this as ‘normal’ thru gradual complacency!

You do realize that it's AMERICAN billionaire bankers who hold the paper for Argentina’s debt, right? So Trump gets a 2 for 1:

1) He bails out his right wing buddy in Argentina AND…

2) He greases the palms of his billionaire banking bros by erasing their financial exposure in Argentina!

What, you think MAGA would know when Jack Smith was appointed… or even bother to check?!

I don't follow the 10 commandments, I have two of my own

1) Be kind
2) Don't be a dick

Simple, easy to remember, applies to every situation

Why do so many Americans not have empathy for anyone?

Do they think this makes them look cool?

It makes them look weak.

We should have a No Kings Day at least once a month — maybe once a week? — until we bring down the Orange Clown and his 100% corrupt criminal administration!

If it is shown that MAGA was indeed responsible for the destruction of Judge Goodstein’s home, then MAGA should be officially labeled a terrorist organization and should be dealt with as such.

Bill Maher just spent a fairly significant part of his show to ‘giving Trump credit for what he has accomplished’ in Gaza. How about instead of focusing on the M.E. we focus on the fact that he is systematically destroying democracy in America? That seems like it's at least somewhat more important.

Am I the only one disgusted with seeing police chiefs across the US wearing 4 gold stars on their collars/lapels to designate their status? To me, this is unnecessarily ostentatious & screams visions of grandeur… when what we SHOULD be seeing is humility and dignity. More unnecessary militarization!

3: Hire a PR firm that knows how to broadcast your message… EVERY GODDAM DAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE USA! (And, go on every TV show that invites you…Left or Right. Talking exclusively into liberal echo chambers might make you feel ‘safe’ but that accomplishes NOTHING!)

A 3-Step Plan for Democrats:

1: Pull your collective heads out of your collective arses before it's too late!! Our democracy depends on it!

2: No more Mr. Nice Guy… learn how to fight like your/our survival depends on it… it does!

Can anyone explain how the hell Trump can just kill people in international waters indiscriminately & without warning or any justification & refuse to provide any details of those murders to Congress? Wouldn't we be at war with any country that was responsible for such unprovoked attacks on us?!
