Guys it’s easy to say Dick Cheney should’ve been prosecuted for war crimes. But you’re forgetting one thing. If we start prosecuting people for war crimes, people in the future might get scared about doing war crimes and hesitate before committing war crimes!

I want to be clear Gavin Newsom didn’t push Prop 50 on us, he gave us a choice, unlike the good people of Texas who lost their representation without a choice.

We chose 50. It’s over country and we’re not going to let fascism win without one hell of a fight.

There was a concerted effort to ensure no one was held accountable in any way for the Iraq War and torture. That’s the reason most young people don’t know who Cheney is.

My brilliant friend @hebagowayed.bsky.social:

"What is troubling to me as we look into the possibilities of the Zohran mayorship, is not just these old white men’s sense of entitlement to power; but that their open racism, like that of the president’s, is not disqualifying."

Zohran Mamdani’s Campaign and the Radical Idea that Muslims are Human - The Rumpus

It is against this background of a country that has reduced Muslims into a dark, foreign, terrorist “other,” that Mamdani ran a campaign that centers the affordability of the city for all who live wit...

So Mississippi, Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia are now blue states? Good to know, Mikey!

Can't denounce racism when you yourself are Islamophobic. That's the bottom line re: both Gillibrand, Schumer and many other Democrats.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children:

I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob boss’s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

But at least the rich got their tax cuts, right @MarshaBlackburn? With Inequality at gilded age levels.
