OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/

Hey, just checking - how many elected officials, political influencers, capitol police officers and/or school children were murdered by radical left wing protesters this weekend?

Don't support the oligarchs this holiday season. If you are purchasing gifts or necessities, shop local, black-owned businesses (or other POC).

This is great work, America but I know we can do better.

An image showing a graphic titled “TRUMP APPROVAL RATING” with the AP and NORC at the University of Chicago logos. The results read: “APPROVE 37%” and “DISAPPROVE 61%.” At the bottom, small text notes the survey was conducted October 9–13 with 1,289 adults. A photo of Donald Trump in a dark suit and red tie appears on the left side of the image.

Clearly Trump lied when he said his $250 million ballroom wouldn’t “interfere” with the White House.

So who’s watching this mess; the White House Historical Association or the Office of the Curator? Because someone needs to make sure he’s not bulldozing history for a dance floor.

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.

Trump using a Chinese* excavator to destroy the White House is a bit on the nose as metaphors go.

*Volvo is owned by Geely Holding, a Chinese company.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Both can be symptoms of anemia. I'm not saying they definitely are for you, but it's worth getting a blood test for, because it can impact quality of life so much

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

14/ You say you hate empire, but you only ever mean one. You rage at U.S. hegemony while excusing Russian conquest. You romanticize “multipolarity,” as if choosing a different empire were the same as dismantling one.

2/ You’ve written dissertations on the crimes of the United States and Israel (as you should), but when the missiles fall on Kharkiv or Kyiv, you start rambling like broken records about “NATO provocation” and “proxy wars.”

1/ a letter to the western left -

I’d say we need to talk about your silence, but really, we need to talk about your noise.

Specifically, all the noise you make about empire, liberation, and solidarity, while finding a thousand reasons to avert your gaze from Russian imperialism.
