Dogs, duplicate bridge, writers. Detroit born, gay, living on MI 3rd coast.
When will we have a real labor party in this country ?
Palestinians are humans too.

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

So just found out that Audible have silently removed six audiobooks from my library. Because I noticed, and complained, they gave six credits to buy them back again. They did this because the publishers updated the books and Audible just deleted the old versions.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

With everything happening in the "trump bought news", it feels like they’re throwing up smoke screens. Whatever’s in those Epstein files going forward has to be mind numbing atrocious.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

What’s that thing our big wet president loves to say? “You have to do _____ or you won’t have a country anymore?”
This ICE murderer has to be charged and in jail by dinner time, or we don’t have a country anymore

Yeesh I hate being repetitive, and yet...
It's time once again to remind my fellow Americans that there is no mechanism whereby state run elections can be suspended or canceled by the federal government. None. So don't go along with any garbage you hear to that effect. Laugh, and get ready to vote.

We cannot forget who was complicit on January 6th.
Ted Cruz fanned the flames of insurrection.
Ken Paxton provoked the rioters before the assault.
John Cornyn refused to investigate the attack.
They have forfeited their right to represent us in our nation’s Capitol.

Polish Prime Minister D. Tusk just said: "NATO would lose its purpose if conflicts and aggressive actions occurred within it."
Don't you think that's exactly what Putin wants, for his puppet Trump to do?

I don’t have a bead on who should win the primary in NY-12,
but Conway is doing the right thing by openly and strenuously asserting that impeachment of the asshole is a top priority.
No Dem should even consider running without a commitment to impeaching that SOB.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.
We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.
We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.
