Using "Department of War" to describe "Department of Defense" is like dead naming a trans person. Progressives SHOULD NOT be using "Department of War" EVER obviously.

Zohran Mamdani is the most Christ-like candidate I have ever seen.

Not the preacher. Not the intellect. Not the mogul. Not the operative.

The MUSLIM servant of the people.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) declaring he won't call the House of Representatives into session until JANUARY at the earliest, means this isn't a shut-down.
This is a #RepublicanCOUP.

Be careful, T-Rump might slap a 10% tariff on you for quoting Reagan.

Pretty sure even on Jefferson's KINDEST days he never considered Sally Hemings his partner or equal. White Racists might choose a "brown" wife BECAUSE OF the natural sense of righteous dominion they hold in their minds over people of color.

White Americans already know it's ok to be racist JD Vance, and apparently it's ok to marry a woman in brown skin, and be a racist, more it's ok, to have brown skin children and still be racist, have sex with POC, and be racist, and marry people of POC, and be racist, bc racism is a mental illness

I DON'T want T-Rump to die in office because that would rob me of GLORIOUS day when all but smattering of GOP cultists begin to turn COMPLETELY on T-Rump & OPENLY claim they were "ALWAYS opposed to T-Rump & thought he was delusionally deranged but weren't in a position to challenge his authority".

The current homepage of USDA. This is deeply and profoundly fucked up. And illegal. People need to go to jail.

ANY non-MAGA person, especially ANY Progressive, Liberal or Moderate who adopts or in ANY way amplifies the phrase "Department of War" is a fecking useless cunt.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Mockler: I’m 23 years old, and Gen Zers have spent all of our formative years living in a political system that’s purely dysfunctional. People in my generation see the president posting memes online rather than actually negotiating with the other side.

For those in the back row it WOULDN'T MATTER if these small boats had signs that said "cocaine shipment" while towing banners that said "Fuck the USA and Trump" AND "Death to America" it would STILL be 100% illegal to summarily execute the operators on the vessels in international waters.
