Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

Are We in WordPress Asking the Right Question? | Pootlepress For about ten years of my life, my alarm clock went off at 4:00am. Not because I hate mornings. In fact, I rather like them. The world is quiet, the coffee tastes better, and nobody has started…

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

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.
