Whatever you think of Jon Favreau, what he says here, from min: 2:52 - 7:47 is what I needed to hear, & what this moment calls for. In this moment in our country, we need to stand back and describe the forest that is closing in, not just the trees.

Article 14 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights states:
Everyone has the right to seek and enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.
In 1951 the UN defined ‘refugee’ as a person in another country at risk of persecution in her, his or their own country.

To counter DHS and the V.P."s disinformation: Liam Conejo Ramos' father was NOT here illegally.
He came through a legal port of entry.
He sought asylum.
His asylum case was pending, and he had no deportation order.
The right of a person to seek asylum in a country is part of international law.

ICE and DHS has trained with the IDF of Israel. In Israel, the IDF targeted children. Single bullets to the head and chest. They targeted what they rationalized were future terrorists. Here, we see ICE targeting children. Are 5 yr olds the worst of the worst?

I just saw, in the comments section of a video:

"People in a democracy can vote for an autocracy
People in an autocracy
CANNOT
vote for a democracy"

The author then drew a One Way sign.

I am posting this because I care about our democracy and I care about the freedom of the press as being integral to upholding our democracy. This youtube short explains an attack on, press freedom, but also federal employees who are trying to keep our democracy. www.youtube.com/shorts/2CkE7...

The DOJ is not going to investigate Renee Good's murder, but they are now investigating her widow.
Please call the DOJ.
Please tell them both are wrong.

Latest poll in Maine of Platner vs Mills is not what it seems. The headlines were that Mills leads by a significant margin. The raw results were actually tied. The pollsters discounted the opinions of young voters and weighted more heavily those of the older voters. Hello? Mamdani? His young voters?

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

Anyone who is hesitant to support Graham Platner should look at this article www.commondreams.org/news/graham-...
We need someone in the Senate who understands that "progressive" doesn't mean urban coastal, it means someone who understands "who is doing what to whom" and will do something about it.

Need a cheer-up? A man was handcuffed & detained by the Nat'l Guard patrolling streets in DC -for playing the Star Wars Imperial March behind them as they walked. Brilliant.

Re: Hakeem Jeffries, Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Swalwell not endorsing Zohran.
Looked up DNC in the dictionary:
DNC: verb - to sabotage, to crush Democratic hope, to gang up on Charismatic Democratic candidates. as in:
s/he was DNC'ed and so lost.
see also: poison, esp. of young Democratic voices.

"But if we let Graham Platner get into office...we might have a presidential candidate in the pipeline who is under 70..." --says the DSCC
October 22, 2025 at 1:07 PM
If you are angry that, once again, the DSCC and the corporate Dems are attempting to sabotage a grassroots populist authentic candidate, (ie getting Janet Mills of ME to run against Graham Platner, and then co-fundraising with her) I'd encourage you to send what you can to Graham Platner's campaign.

I just found out what the Democratic establishment calls ancient politicians who will cow-tow to their wishes, but who might die in office: "battle-tested" "experienced" "the only candidate who has proven themselves in statewide races. That's why we should choose them over energetic young candidates
October 21, 2025 at 6:09 PM
The DSCC has set up a joint fundraising group with Janet Mills, just a couple of days after they and Schumer got her to run against Graham Platner in the primary race against Susan Collins, Senator of Maine. The DSCC shouldn't be choosing candidates or putting their thumb on the scale.
