honest to God that might be what actually gets some movement from Congress
so deeply dystopian to catch myself going "maybe the Destroying the Environment caucus can get through to the Senseless War caucus" but here we are
Running for the US SENATE in Maine
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
I swear to you it’s feature of my mental illness I’ve been spewing like this & I wish I was lying to you.
Black people say things are a problem to us as a collective when individuals do them, but white folks really don’t care about what’s a problem to us at. They don’t care about annoying us, they don’t care about harming us, because it’s more fun.
the cheapest and most abundant and utile political resource for the american ruling class is muslim life. this has been true my entire life. you can never go wrong slaughtering muslims

Wait. They are releasing Epstein files to distract Americans from the war in Iran now?
I’m proud to announce we have already raised more than $1 million dollars from over 56,000 people across Maryland and the nation — and not a dollar from corporate PACs! The people of the 5th District are ready for a fighter, and I'm not going to let them down.
Noem may be out of the job now, but her cozy “command and control center” is still costing you a fortune.
what is the case for thinking that the duration of the conflict will be up to Trump?

Karoline Leavitt: It doesn't matter if Russia is helping Iran kill American troops.
What a breathtakingly twisted White House.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
Specifically, having the people running natsec, foreign, & defense policy & strategy, as well as commanders & staffs at echelons below them deciding that we don't have to account for the people in the places with the things that we are concerned about or want to secure or want to influence. 2/
“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.
I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"

Wow. The corruption and self-dealing is boundless — in the billions.
FANTASTIC post.
I've had some major bouts with depression in my life...becoming most acute in my mid teens. I've been fortunate enough to receive some excellent help when I needed it...from caring therapists and psychiatrists who found the best medication for me.
Get help if you need it. There is hope for us all.
Absolutely not happening.
This is so gobsmackingly stupid.
