Well, I've wandered over here from Twitter (I never called it X). I'm the same beer brewing, bee keeping, activist retiree. Just more disillusioned. Candidates come and go. The sentiment remains. #NotMeUs jimmysrant.blogspot.com

Bought this album, when it came out. I played the bejezus out of it. Then I had it on cassette.

I have a working turntable again. I hope I still have the record!

If you're planning to vote for one dime to fund this, then your words mean nothing.

My latest homebrew, tapped tonight. An Irish Red that I call Little Red Barn. The wife says it's delicious.

I don't understand. Why would a state bar care what a federal attorney general wants?

If you vote to fund this, or any supplemental defense funding bill, you are voting to give war powers to Trump‼️

Um, Chiang was armed, when Mao ran him off the mainland. I don't think that was the problem.

Just like with Iraq. ...And I haven't watched TV news since. ABC/CBS/NBC/MSNBC/CNN/PBS: they were all in on it. NPR was just as bad. Sanitizing torture. War whores, my wife called them.

American politicians let Israel lead them around by the nose. This is nuts‼️ Trump and Rubio should have simply told Netanyahu, "No, you're not starting a war that we'll get dragged into." They CHOSE not to. We fund Israel's economy and military. They're supposed to be the client, not us. πŸ˜’

That's all true about the GOP, Hakeem. Now make your mouth say:

"Israel is committing genocide in Gaza"

"Israel is practicing apartheid in the West Bank"

"Dems must vote, on the record, opposing war against Iran"

or, heck, we might conclude you're exhibiting cult-like behavior.

We actually vetoed condemnation genocide. Why would the world expect any better of us about this?

Greenwald has a prickly personality and is maddeningly inconsistent on his views about many things, but he's always right on about surveillance and war powers. And say what they want in public, the Democrats are consistently gung-ho for surveillance power and war.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

If he really opposed war with iran, Jeffries would publicly state that if Israel goes it alone against iran, we will not support them.

Here's the floor plan for the new ICE concentration camp in Georgia. Look familiar? Let's take a look at some similar blueprints throughout history.

β€˜No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Let's not slip into religious bigotry here. Jimmy Carter was a southern Baptist, wore his religion on his sleeve and never coerced anyone about it. He made one speech to staff to "get married, if you're living in sin". They all just shrugged. He went 'cool', moved on, and promoted human rights.
