The only thing popularists fear more than an unpopular idea from the left is a popular one that might actually threaten billionaires.
🔥Ex-CIA Ex-Marine congressional candidate @adamduniganva8 : “This is now a regional conflict involving 17 countries… incompetence, lack of planning, and an inability to understand the scale of the crisis they’ve created… Trump spent more time with Epstein than planning for war.”
Loving but no sense
Me when I realize that @darthbluesky.bsky.social's return is only a couple weeks away
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Can we just reject him for getting a tattoo, any tattoo?
This is a joke , it’s been a long week…
Seriously , I do want us to be open to more folks but this seems a bit much on bad judgement
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."
The litigation over who has lawful control of the USIP building plays on, with the Trump administration maintaining control for now. But I'm proud @rcfp.org and I were able to obtain this footage and shed important light on DOGE's intentions when they entered the USIP building nearly one year ago.
Canada created more jobs in 2025 (! year of the economic attack!) than the U.S., tho the U.S. job market is 7.5 times bigger.
"Health" generated 41% of the new jobs. "Care" (incl educ) almost 1/2.
Demographics guarantees that this job juggernaut will continue to dominate. Demand>supply everywhere.
His biggest failing was his absolute belief in our goodness and I hope eventually we prove him correct
The guy who was judged to not be mentally fit enough to run against Trump is still more mentally fit than Trump or anyone on his regime.

New: The White House is transforming the Iran strikes into a meme war. An "aesthetic of bloodlust" that gives Americans the empathy-free, Hollywood, video-game version of deadly combat www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
While Kristi Noem funneled $220M in taxpayer funds into self-promoting political ads, she refused to distribute $500M+ in FEMA funding for LA Fire survivors.
The Trump Administration must immediately release that relief and redirect those wasted ad dollars to recovery efforts.
