Our representative government is almost gone. We have a criminal conspiracy masquerading as a federal government.

They are doing virtually nothing for the average American.

Their focus is on personal wealth and power. And unwavering loyalty to the authoritarian ruler.

Rescue America. VOTE!

I've had to step away a bit lately. The latest unnecessary war, and deaths, and YUGE cost to us taxpayers, is just too much...

I mean, the state of things was already horrific. Then, yet another "war distraction" from the increasingly worse news for Trump, re: the usual...Epstein rapes and abuse. 🥺

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Wait wait wait, I read this paper, it seems important to note that the neurons-in-a-jar could play Doom, but they weren't *good* at it.

The atmospheric conditions allow for a very clear transmission for most of the four hours of conversation. AT&T intends to establish a regular radiotelephone service, although the projected rate (about $5 for three minutes) will price it out of reach of all but the wealthy. 2/2

For them, fascism ended in 1945. They are blind to its modern re-emergence. They support oppression today while clinging nostalgically to their grandparents’ role in defeating it 🙄

So that’s clear. Britain is in the war. 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇬🇧💥🔥💥

Daily Mail Twitter post: Flying a Union Jack Flag is branded a ‘tool of hate’ in government's leaked social cohesion strategy. Multiple Union Jack and St George’s Cross flags are displayed prominently along a road, amidst greenery and a building in the background.

“A leaked draft of the proposals suggests national symbols were sometimes used last summer to 'exclude or intimidate'.

It warned that the: 'EXTREME RIGHT HAS TRIED TO TURN SYMBOLS OF PRIDE INTO TOOLS OF HATE'”

Okay…

This is the Daily Mail Headline 👇🏼🙄😖

This one is a bit rough around the edges. I shot it earlier when the Moon was lower on the horizon, so it's got some atmospheric distortion going on. #SantaBarbara #MoonPhotography #MoonPhotos #MoonShots #Photography #ChingaLaMigra

A drunken driver's car crash left him paralyzed. Now he's a Paralympian. Steve Emt was a walk-on basketball player at the University of Connecticut before a drunk driving accident changed the direction of his life.

Good for him but this is nothing to celebrate. Perhaps if he didn't kill anyone when he had his accident. A very good friend of ours, the father of two young daughters was murdered by a drunk driver 30 years ago. It was a devastating loss. He never went to prison.

So far 17 counties are involved in a war trump started. That's not ok. Congress HAS to get him out. He's wrecking our country. And hardly anyone is doing anything. It makes me want to vomit.

Their guy said he'd pardon the J6 insurrectionists--and then shockingly did it.

I haven't heard any potential Democratic candidate promise to pardon everybody arrested for protesting ICE.

That'd go a long way toward showing me they're opposition and not just controlled.

Inside the latest, and scariest, iteration of America’s endless abortion wars After Trump’s mass pardons of anti-abortion activists, threats and harassment at clinics have surged.

After Trump was reelected, he quickly pardoned anti-abortion activists convicted of harassing and threatening clinic patients and staff. Federal investigations into bomb threats against clinics suddenly vanished.
