Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

Obama should be the leader of the Democratic Party. Not the next Presidential nominee: the party’s leader.

We need to separate those two roles and have a strong party leadership capable of coordinating across admins and he is one of very few ppl who could possibly make that happen in our system.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

I saw the article and he was also held that entire time without ever being charged. Palestinian "prisoners" are hostages, their abuse is legitimized by lies.

Al Jazeera is doing videos of the Palestinian releases and they're heart wrenching. One man was detained for over a year and was released to find out that Israel had killed his two kids. The youngest was three. Her birthday would've been on Saturday. He'd made a small bracelet for her in prison.

I just feel y’all need to be aware of that the membership of Young Republicans is currently attacking the few Republicans who have condemned the group chat.

These aren’t a few “bad apples.” This is who Young Republicans are. “I love Hitler” is the future of the GOP.

"I think the Democratic base feels like there is a disconnect. We hear you, when you did your 25-hour speech, I was like go Cory, I love this, that is amazing.

And then there's a photo shoot with you with Benjamin Netanyahu, and I was just like, what in the actual fuck? It was heartbreaking."

"What do you have to say about the capitulation that you participated in?"

Cory Booker clearly wasn't expecting the pushback he got from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

The military personnel involved have followed illegal orders. They need to understand there will be consequences.

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

Like those cybersecurity videos I was mandated to watch by Corporate. No fast-forward. Video stopped if the browser lost “focus”. And a stupid little quiz every five minutes.

The precursor of the Presidential Medal of Freedom was the Congressional Medal of Freedom, which was established in 1945 to honor civilians who aided the fight against fascism in WWII.
