It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Science discarded,
The art of critical thinking flayed,
While fools weave
Their insubstantial dreams,
Brittle as new ICE,
Ever eager to please
The orange waste on the throne,
That demands only the dullness
Of unremarkable subservience.

Republicans, however much corruption are you going to allow?
How many laws can Trump break without you doing something?
When does America become your priority?

We went from a country that defended others from being invaded for their natural resources, to a country that is now threatening to invade others for their natural resources.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

We have to explain to these people in charge why having no just pretext to bomb a bunch of folks is wrong or against the law? NO! I refuse. We’re not litigating this! There’s a certain universal morality. And they ain’t it. They should just outright say they kill whoever they want because they want.

All decent Americans must resist the criminal regime in the White House. Do it for patriotism, or do it because it's getting worse and everyone you love will suffer.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Trump is enjoying any distractions away from Epstein. Don’t let up on it. The fact that people require the files from a deceased person to believe what happened to a thousand living women reveals everything about whose voices they value and whose they don’t. 🔄

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, died a day after volunteering to serve in DC so that others could enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. She deserves our gratitude, not political exploitation by a shameless president who scapegoats immigrants to swell his power.

The FBI spent a million dollars redacting powerful men's names from the Epstein files. The victims? Twenty-eight names in one document alone unredacted, exposed, hunted down by reporters in front of their children. Privacy, it seems, is reserved for those who can afford to return the favor.

I’m sorry for the National Guards who are only following orders.
Objectively, had the President not called them to serve as law enforcement officers, this tragedy would never have happened.
They seek to demagogue their way out of their own culpability.
To lose honorable people this way!

Being President of the United States should not be a job that is annoyingly keeping you from your shitty golf game.
It should also not be what is keeping you out of prison for a laundry list of horrible crimes.

6 people have died from a nationwide listeria outbreak.
31 babies have been hospitalized with botulism from contaminated baby formula.
Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
