They can't hear you, Lindsey. They're dead.

This is the cloud of oil currently hovering over Tehran, released when the US bombed the city's oil depots. A stew of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds is raining down into the city right now. 1/2

It's not a prophecy, it's just a plan.
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

But no, they just come to work and cough and sneeze all over, and get angry if we point out the obvious.
These allegations of child rape are horrific. They back up the story of Jane Doe, another 13-year-old victim.
The American courts, police, politicians and media know that the President of the United States is an accused child rapist and abuser.

Never forget that the U.S. can always find money for war, but not for education, health care, or to help those in need. This is 100% a choice. And it is 100% the wrong one. www.csis.org/analysis/37-...

Writing is thinking.
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
