🤢 Watching the EU leaders sitting there, indulging fascism and narcissism and insanity, makes me vomit. All (except the Brit) articulately speaking a language not their own. Thank god they all realized, as did most watching, that they came to humiliate, and manipulate, the dangerous American fool.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

GOP: burning a flag disrespects the people who fought and died for that symbol

This is coming from a guy who lied on the stand about a protester, only to be humiliated by video of what actually happened, leading a jury to acquit in an hour. This vapid shitbag liar wants to “correct misconceptions?”

From a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson tonight on Greg Bovino being summoned to court:

“DHS can think of nobody better to correct Judge Ellis’s deep misconceptions about its mission, and we thank him for his service.”

Just thinking: I am a double-boarded physician-scientist at @uclahealth.org, but I grew up in poverty. Gov't provided the welfare & foodstamps that aided my refugee family. Gov't grants subsidized my education.

I am only where I am today bc of the #America that was. And it makes me want to cry.

Little Holy Island retreat. Hiked for hours in the dunes. Prayed in the ruins. On the outcrops. By the sea.

Watched the sunset. Waited for the stars to open up. Saw the milky way. Saw a comet fall from the sky. Split into two. Burn up over the land. Red and white coals in the darkness.

A castle behind ruins and gravestones painted red by the sunset

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

I blame Mitch McConnell for not having the guts to ensure conviction in the Senate of Trump after the second impeachment In the House. Trump could never have run again after that.
Conviction in court would not have stopped Trump
This political problem is because of his lack of integrity…

I’m curious how the Supreme Court Justices feel watching the East Wing get torn to rumble this week. They unleashed a tyrant and I’m not even sure they knew how bad it would be.

The people in Arizona’s 7th congressional district have been without representation in Congress for over 7 months.

Mike Johnson continues to deny them representation because their duly elected representative has pledged to sign the petition to release the Epstein files.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

NEW: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Friday that it will send election monitors to polling sites in California and New Jersey — a move that Democrats and democracy advocates warned may be a potential step toward the Trump administration seizing control of voting.
