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"
Pres. Obama at the Jackson service:
"We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope. Each day, we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions."
"If we don't step up, no one else will. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him."
We’re 7 days into something that looks like a war, feels like a war, costs like a war, has the same economic effects of a war, but we’re not supposed to call it a war because it would require the President to follow that annoying thing called the United States Constitution.
Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...
Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.
Gas prices skyrocketing.
Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.
Another war in the Middle East.
Are we great again yet?
Thanks for the shout out, Ray 😊! And the funny, en pointe, song 😂
Poetry is a bird

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.
The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"
$1.5T defense budget
$170B on ICE & Border Patrol
$100B on tax cuts for the 1%
$20B from Treasury for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$300M on Kristi Noem's jets
$100M+ for Trump to golf
$75k+ for Kash Patel's Olympic trip
And now $50B in emergency funding for war in Iran?
Priorities.
They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
MAJOR BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee just VOTED 24-19 to issue a subpoena against AG Pam Bondi in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”
Trump is threatening to militarily attack and invade Spain, an EU and NATO member, for refusing to take part in the US and Israel illegal war in Iran.
Orders all trade with Spain to be cut in revenge.
“If we want, we can just fly in and use it. Nobody is going to tell us not to use it”
Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Is this bad? It seems bad.
And a FOX flunky booze hound at the Pentagon. I curse every MAGA enabler...
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴
The U.S. military said three service members have been killed and five others seriously wounded since the operations began. They are the first known American casualties from the fighting.
U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.
Then what happened?
Florida uses emergency rule to cut patients off AIDS medication

Cruelty is the point. Always has been.
Those who live in glass concentration camps shouldn’t throw stones.
