“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”
-Dwight Eisenhower 1953
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.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
This you, Donald?
"Our president will start a war w/Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective. So the only way he figures that he’s going to get re-elected, and as sure as you're sitting there, is to start a war w/Iran." — DJT, Nov. 2011

DONALD TRUMP IN THE EPSTIEN FILES
Lovely stuff.
This is a hideous betrayal of the country, in exchange for a bribe.
Proposed solution for tufted puffin declines: more monitoring and marine protected areas.
It’s like putting a non-smoking section in a casino.
Drawing a boundary doesn’t change the air.
Local protection matters, but it can’t offset warming oceans and shifting food webs.
To MSM, Independants, politicians, pundits, &random users who keep talking about November elections, as if you will have them..
OR, not thinking of them to be anything but a total shit show, with decades of lawsuits to go with them, if not all out civil war...
Shut. The fuck. Up.
Rise... Or fall.

The DOJ dumped millions of Epstein files and called it transparency, but key FBI interviews naming Trump in abuse allegations were missing. If evidence about a sitting president is being withheld, that’s not transparency that’s a cover up.
Good afternoon Bluesky💙
Kindness is a quiet superpower.
It’s the patience you show others & the grace you give yourself. Kindness literally heals your heart❤️
Today, speak as warmly to yourself as you’d speak to a friend. One small act ripples further than you know. Be gentle w/the world & yourself.
I would like to add the wish that it’s televised live!
Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."
Minnesota’s flags will fly at half-staff in honor and remembrance of the Reverend Jesse Jackson.
He spent his life pushing America to live up to its highest ideals and his fight for civil rights, dignity, and fairness will inspire generations to come.
NEW: The Victims Who Fought Back
An Oklahoma law was supposed to help reduce the sentences of women who killed their abusers.
Why are nearly all of them still in prison?

That’s some li’l lion you got there❤️
This one hits hard.
I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.
You know, like a democracy.
👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.
"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
