WHO GIVES A DAMN?

It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts.

Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Lyme disease DID NOT come from a lab.
HIV DID NOT come from a lab.
These claims are unsupported by evidence, erase well-established science, and trivialize the suffering of millions and the work of scientists who have spent decades fighting these diseases.

The Venn diagram between people who say vaccines don't work because one person they know got sick anyway and gun laws don't work because Australia had their first deadly mass shooting in 29 years, is a perfect circle.

It's an anti-science, anti-common sense, anti-humanity, dangerous cult.

Without extension of the healthcare tax credit at least 4.5M Americans will lose healthcare coverage in 2026! I am here to tell you that your local emergency room CANNOT absorb the primary care for these individuals. This ⬆️ burden on hospitals will affect healthcare for everyone even the insured!.

Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.

THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.

These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.

This Is Fascism.

If the State is committing violence even more openly than usual AND we have complicit and non-functional legislative and judicial arms with no desire to enforce existing laws, how are we to resist effectively within a system that rejects its foundational principles? Seems like things are bad.

A revolution "bloodless if the Left allows it to be..." while we harass, arrest and imprison, starve, deny medications and vaccines and support genocide. There isn't much white blood, but plenty of blood, suffering, and loss for the people we as a country have always been willing to throw aside.

The first time terrorists used planes to attack Americans wasn’t on 9/11 or at Pearl Harbor. It was the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 when white supremacists flew a dozen planes to drop turpentine or nitroglycerin bombs on Black Americans.

Viola Fletcher was there.

What a lot of people don't realize is that a LOT of Nazi leadership were never even charged or punished. The incompleteness of Nuremberg (and also early abandonment of Reconstruction in the US) allowed for many of the problems we see today fester and reemerge within a generation in the EU and US.
That may be the case, but “only following orders” has been the GOP line from Watergate through Iran-Contra, the Bush torture regime, & 1/6. Americans must be willing to prosecute white conservative lawlessness if this madness is to end. Punishing fascists in another country won’t cut it.
Nuremberg showed that 'I was only obeying orders' is not a valid defence.

Trump will be gone in a few years, and a lot of his willing acolytes will realise that they'll have to pay for the crimes he directed.

Biden's govt allowed Trump to escape justice. The Dems need to toughen up.
