The occupation makes us all less safe in DC and across the country. It’s destroying lives, ripping families apart, and increasing violence.

The Mayor’s choice to praise it is a massive betrayal, especially as neighbors desperately try to protect each other in the absence of government support.

"It sets a bad precedent if the president can just take 10 percent of a company by threatening the CEO"

in some theoretical nightmare future a leader who isn't an insane zealot operating a fourth grade reading level could do something similar, but for the actual greater good!

Shuler: Thirteen billionaires in one picture—four of whom now run agencies of our federal government. If you’ve ever met someone who says the word “oligarchy” is too confusing or too complicated, well, you can explain it with that one photo.

Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45.

It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you.

Embrace your passion.

Every dem should follow his example and should never use the word bipartisan again. they got in because dems do not understand that the GOP are sadists
You don’t have to like Gavin Newsom

And you don’t have to support him as the Democratic nominee in 2028

But-right now-with Trump threatening to become a dictator as our democracy precariously teeters on the edge of a precipice

He’s one of the few Democrats who have offered a viable battle plan

There will be nothing surprising, or shocking, to be learned when all those books come out on the convicted felon when he is gone. All those 'insiders', who didn't have the guts to reveal damaging information in real time, won't get one cent from me.

The cognitive dissonance required to be anti-abortion (“saving” babies) and anti-vaccine, risking children’s lives and health through exposure to vaccine-preventable diseases is staggering.

I wrote this essay about Pete's thinking about politics, morality, and faith.

I'm not religious at all, but hearing Pete talk about politics in an almost spiritual way is very moving to me. I find it inspiring during a dark time.

Just wanted to share:

Renewable Energy is 8x cheaper than Fossil Fuel, increased Energy costs increase the price of everything.

When your prices are too high you cannot export anything.

I sincerely think we have to accept the fact that the midterms are not going to be clean, fair and safe. This administration cannot lose and they are desperate. If they figured out how to hack the machines via a cable in 2024, they will do it again. We need to stop it, by exposing it.
