Thank you to your dad for his service. My dad was also a Pearl Harbor survivor stationed on the USS Pennsylvania. He would also be horrified by what is happening in our country.

Standing up to a wannabe dictator is patriotic.

Protecting health care for Americans is patriotic.

Defending workers who make our country run is patriotic.

Saying no to troops occupying our cities is patriotic.

Peacefully protesting to protect our democracy is patriotic.
The daily misinformation post from Rep Young Kim (CA-40). Blaming the Democrats for what is going to become a life or death problem when those that are already food insecure lose their SNAP benefits. How is it ok to withhold food assistance from the truly needy?
Bullshit. If his lips are moving, the lies are pouring out.
As the daughter of a deceased veteran, career Naval officer, and Pearl Harbor survivor, I often think about how much my dad would hate what is happening to our country.

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.
I saw a huge swath of humanity in once deep red, now purple Orange County, CA. It was a party atmosphere with people dancing and blowing off some steam. Great speakers, music, and collection of food and basic necessities for those in need in our community.
His β€œI’m lying through my teeth” tells are stammering, lip licking, and excessive blinking. All on full display in this interview. His repetition of the β€œunified government” line just means he does that the Felon tells him to do.
Going to one in the morning and another in the afternoon!
No Kings this Saturday. Let’s all stand together in opposition to the Felon and his gang in what ever way you can. Protest, donate, post on social media.
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
Damn right and I am one of them! Find a protest near you and show up! Don’t be afraid. That’s what they want: fear and acceptance of their authoritarianism.
Mike Johnson is falsely generalizing the β€œNo Kings” protestors as extremists to justify crackdowns. The truth is, they’re patriots.

These protestors don’t β€œhate America.” They oppose an authoritarian president who tramples on the freedoms and principles America was founded on.
Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."
I agree. He’s on the crazy train.
Many people are saying heroin, brain worms, swimming in sewage, and eating roadkill cause insanity.
β€œDo your best while you are still on this planet Earth.” Jane Goodall, you did your best! Thank you.
Please watch her final words to us all. They are beautiful and have given me a grounding sort of hope. Maybe they’ll help you too.
Bless Dr. Jane Goodall’s Final Message To Humanity
In which she tells us who she'd launch into space.

Yes, 100%. Please read the whole thread.
The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels.

Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism.

Thanks for including me! Keep up the good fight! πŸ’™
This is the root of so many of our problems.
Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
Sadly this is the world we are living in currently.

I trust medical experts and scientists over a heroin addict.

This should not be a controversial position.
The texts do seem to be awfully convenient and the dialogue a bit unbelievable.
THREAD: THE TEXTS: I’m not ready to comment on the veracity of the alleged texts sent from the shooter to his roommate, but if the FBI fabricated them because they have marching orders to pin this on the LGBTQ community or "antifa", then the shooter is going to walk free. 1/
That could be true but regardless of why he voted to approve RFK Jr., he violated his Hippocratic oath as a physician.

Trump's DOJ deleted a study about the rise of far right violence in America.

Meanwhile, Trump baselessly smears so-called "far left" critics and threatens to unleash the government on them.

Make no mistake: Trump's sole focus is suppressing dissent & consolidating more power.
Sen. Cassidy was lied to by RFK Jr and wasn’t smart enough to realize it at the time.
So disheartening to see the GOP senators trying to discredit Dr. Monarez to score political points and putting our children and all of us at risk to support an unqualified HHS Secretary. They should ALL be calling for him to be fired immediately.
