This is the fundamental conflict of our time.

Resist any who don’t respect the right to exist.

It always struck me as odd that the One True God any given person believes in depends almost entirely on the region of the planet where you are born.

That’s kind of a random way to choose a god.

Such a weird flex from a guy who couldn’t do a single one.

She writes those words after reading the Epstein Files and giving a total pass to a bunch of rich and famous child molesters.
It’s just obscene.

There is war in only three of those towns so that seems pretty good.

It was a crime to hide Anne Frank too. What is moral and right is not always the same as what is legal.

Burning oil causes warming. Big oil has stated their intention to produce as much oil as possible through 2050, abandoning prior climate pledges.

While I agree that every molecule matters there is no real plan addressing this core issue.

It’s why people feel helpless. Hope has become a challenge

He says that crap while having 1st hand knowledge of all the pedophiles they are protecting by not releasing the Epstein Files.

You guys can’t stop the farms from poisoning your own drinking water so I’m not sure all your problems come from corrupt and feckless Washington DC.

They gave it to an antifa Latina so there is that bit of poetry in this year’s Peace Prize.

You know that royally pisses him off. 👑

It takes the Department of Justice to enforce federal statutes.

After the regime is gone it will be useful for accountability but it’s as useful as impeachment right now.

He wrote those words about a murderer who drops hellfire rockets 🧨 on unarmed boats in international waters.

He is ridiculous.

Just think. He could make it fabulous…. like his Atlantic City resorts.

Who doesn’t want to see that wonder repeated?

It is all about the water.

Drought is climate change's biggest threat: If this winter is as dry as last winter, and no major reductions in use occur, Lake Powell by 2027 would have no storage left and “would have to be operated as a ‘run of river' facility” in which only the inflow from the river could be released downstream.

‘No One Comes Out of This Unscathed’: Experts Warn That Colorado River Use Needs Cutting Immediately - Inside Climate News

A new report finds that Lakes Mead and Powell, the nation’s largest reservoirs, could store just 9 percent of their combined capacity by the end of next summer.

Detailing the collapse of the United States Department of Justice with an unethical and weak lawyer who pretends to be our Attorney General.

A true disaster for America.

Have they won any cases yet?

Even as Trump’s enforcer she is not a good attorney.

The hollowed out Justice Department is pathetic as is her unearned smugness.

Invoking the Insurrection Act comes with Martial Law and suspension of Habeas Corpus meaning they can lock anyone up they don’t like and you get no hearing.

Very scary for us all.

For the number 2 at Justice he sure is sloppy with his language. It isn’t war.

Sloppy Flamethrower is a better title for this unskilled lawyer dude.

So many boomers there.
Glad we aren’t staying home.
