It’s not a “war.” It’s ethnic cleansing that Israel refuses to stop.

I am also a trained gun owner. Most of the gun fetishizers lack training. They demonstrate it by displaying the weapons in the first place.
For you, and cowboys, guns are tools. For these people it’s a fetish.
A small fraction of Americans own most of the guns. It may be 25% of Americans own 80% of the guns, and the vast majority of gun owners inherit more guns.
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
Four more top #CDC officials have submitted their resignation in the past few hours - Debra Houry (chief medical officer), Demere Daskalakis (director of NCIRD), Daniel Jernigan (director of NCEZID) + Jen Layden (director of OPHDST) www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... It is horrifying
A reminder for future generations….please don’t let this kind of music die out.
There’s been another school shooting. I wrote this about another school shooting. But it applies today and every day there’s another school shooting. Americans don’t have to live and die this way. www.patheos.com/blogs/faitho...

Aug. 28, marks 62 years since Martin Luther King, Jr. stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and announced to the world that he had a dream. Today, King’s dream is far from a reality. Follow the link to read more: www.patheos.com/blogs/faitho...
They are proud boys with badges. Not a joke.
They are thugs. And they are lowering standards across the federal government to allow the recruitment of hundreds of thousands more just like them.
There are families of students killed in Ohio who would says troops in our public places is much more recent than that.
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
Thousands of federal public servants devoted their lives to keeping our country safe and strong. While the federal government is telling them their service doesn’t matter, in Maryland, we are leaving no one behind.
Authoritarianism depends on punishing the innocent for speaking up.
Why was checking in a condition of his release last week, if he’s a citizen?
everyone involved needs to be permanently barred from public office, for starters www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Restricted access is a hell of a lot better than no access. Some is better than none, and that's what people have now.

Of note: they tell you how much it costs for the government to run the free filing system, but they don’t tell you how much it would cost to have a private corporation do it. (Hint: it would cost taxpayers more to have a private corporation do it.)
They aren't stopping crime, because that would be a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act . . . which no one seems to be talking about. This is a massive photo opp to send a message to democrats. Good people must raise their voices in opposition.
If you've never been to DC, you don't understand how much of a lie troops in DC is. Troops aren't where there's crime. There aren’t photos of troops in dangerous neighborhoods. They’re in the tourist areas walking around in uniform to demonstrate Trump's ability to do anything he wants.
She said she was friends with RFK Jr for years, before she ever met Epstein. Neat.
Trumped up charges.
Future generations will look back at our time and ask, “how could they be so wrong?” There are voices today warning us, listen to their warnings.
Do they really not comprehend what’s happening??
Violence toward children is cowardly and a failure of parenting and a failure of character. James Dobson and his supporters would be arrested if they battered adults the way they brag about assaulting children. It is never appropriate to abuse children the way he advocated. Let us forget him.
Let us not forget those who died so that others may be free. Follow the link to read about the sacrifice of Jonathan Daniels. rb.gy/uqph6y
Didn’t take them long to unleash unabashed corruption.
The GOP needs to immediately investigate the mental acuity of Biden.
The classless conman has a personal gift shop in the White House.

Democrats support democracy and Ukraine, so of course Republicans oppose both.
The text is Ukrainian. The appearance is global. Trump is an embarrassment that his followers wouldn’t accept in a Democrat.
Nonsense. Troll.
The GOP has cornered the market on the cow vote.
At a vigil to honor the journalists in Gaza held today in Atlanta, it took the speakers over 20 minutes to read through the names of over 270 Palestinian journalists assassinated by Israel during the War in Gaza, as identified by @pressfreedom.bsky.social.
Tell me you’re a troll who’s never been to a @washingtoncapitals.bsky.social game in Chinatown.
They are consolidated all branches of law enforcement into one large mob with the authority to hide their faces and take people - attacking American citizens and residents on private property and on public streets. Democracy is in serious danger. This is why people have been gathering guns.
Allow other federal law enforcement to work with the FBI — ICE. They are consolidated all branches of law enforcement into one large mob with the authority to hide their faces and take people - attacking American citizens and residents on private property and on public streets.
Play down crime? The FACT is crime is at record lows, WITHOUT violating Posse comitatus.
Americans defend and protect the little guys, especially other Democracies. Putin is a war criminal being welcomed by a rapist criminal. Americans should be ashamed of themselves.
Trump and MAGA side with a dictator. Europe is helping Ukraine defend itself. How unAmerican can you get, defending a communist Soviet spy now controlling Russia, Trump, MAGA and the GOP?
They support Putin because Democrats oppose him. MAGA is automatically in favor of anything Democrats don’t like.
Laws only apply to poor people. And the rich hire poor people to oppress other poor people. 2025 is becoming 1925.
Pause and remember the anniversary of the murder of Civil Rights activist Jonathan Daniels. Follow the link for more... www.patheos.com/blogs/faitho...
It certainly seems sad that mainstream media and many Americans don’t seem bothered by armed federal agents occupying Main Street.

If this isn’t enough fascism, just wait, it’s gonna get a lot worse if we don’t stand up to it now.

Sad that this is politics in 2025
“The studies imply that estimated life expectancy [in Gaza has fallen by more than 35 years, to half the pre-war figure. In percentage terms…bigger than…during China’s Great Leap Forward; in absolute terms it is similar to the one in the Rwanda genocide”
JUST IN: DC Circuit's most senior active GOP appointee, Henderson (GHWBush), forcefully rejects Trump administration lockdown of federal spending data. 3-0 ruling to restore by Friday. Wilkins (Clinton) joins opinion. Garcia (Biden) doesn't. w/@kyledcheney www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Of course it feels like an expert, to a stupid person. The Republican party is filled with stupid people’s idea of “tough” and smart.
30-40% of this country agrees with them— they are unbridled racists.
It’s almost like they agree with him.
Most people inherit their beliefs. They rarely examine them.
GE Aerospace paid out $6.8 billion in shareholder distributions last year. CEO Larry Culp made $89 million in 2024 alone. So why does Andrew, who's worked at the Erlanger, KY facility for 20 years, have to struggle to afford to cover his son's critical health care needs? youtube.com/shorts/AypgW...
He won’t cancel elections. He’ll nullify victories of Democrats and demand an “investigation” that will take months and months, while incumbent Republicans will be sworn in to the new Congress, so the districts will be represented during the “investigations.” The SC gave POTUS this power.

US Dept. of Justice: "Ghislaine Maxwell played an instrumental role in the horrific sexual abuse of multiple young teenage girls. As part of a disturbing agreement with Epstein, Maxwell identified, groomed, & abused multiple victims, while she enjoyed a life of extraordinary luxury & privilege."
