and don't ever give up! We got this! We're on the right side of this fight, the right side of history, and together, we got this! ✊
When it comes to standing up to attacks on our people and our democracy, my advice is this:

Don't try to do everything. Find one thing you can do to mitigate the harms. If everyone does that, we'll get through this.

Hi @jaybird54.bsky.social & @sedahr.bsky.social!
This Peppermint Martini looks fun and yummy! I don't know what goes around the rim, but I was thinking maybe a powdered sugar paste of some sort? Anyway, though you never seem to be at loss for ideas, I saw this and thought I'd give ya one more!
How pretty and festive!

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

What’s disappointing is this: Trump commuted his 7-year sentence for fraud and identity theft, giving him a second chance he never earned. The judge who sentenced him noted his total lack of remorse — and he’s proving that judge right all over again.

The president is mentally unwell and just says things. He is going to arrest Biden for perjury! He is going to invade Nigeria! He is going to abolish income tax!

The press just ignores this because it isn't serious. But it robs the public of a chance to see how broken everything is.
This seems like the kind of declaration by a U.S. president that should be mentioned *somewhere* on the front page of CNN or the NY Times, but the fact that it isn't (as of right now) tells us so much both about how this president is covered and the credibility of the U.S. government.
Might be kicking off.

True story.
Fascinating how quickly the "war on terrorism" has now become the "war on narcoterrorism."

Media did nothing to hold accountable the administrations who ignited and perpetuated the made up "war on terror" and now they sit as complicit stenographers for the made up "war on narcoterror." What a shame

It isn’t about drugs.

Trump pardoned a guy yesterday who helped import hundreds of tons of drugs into America.

IT IS ABOUT…

1. His abysmal polling numbers
2. Epstein distraction
3. Cost of living crisis
4. Failing economy

He is going to war because HE IS IN TROUBLE.

Last week, 3 of 176 states opposed the UN resolution reaffirming the absolute prohibition of torture: the US/Israel/Argentina.

My shame at being associated with the Trump admin weighs heavy, reminding me to put my best foot forward every single day.

She was 20, just out of her teens, with her whole life ahead of her. Another tragic consequence of elevating an ignorant, arrogant, heartless conman to the pinnacle of power. We've seen it with COVID, and countless debacles since - abysmal ROI - all cost/no benefit. What are we doing, America? 💔😡
