Much needed urgency from @thefarce.org: "We must demand that the Republicans in Congress do what they don’t want to do most: their job. We must demand that the president’s war of choice in Venezuela be fully debated in both houses of Congress before it’s too late."

Trump's illegal war on Venezuela is a sneak attack on our freedom
We must force to Congress debate and vote on it.

Welp, I said this case could move offstage soon, and it's already gone, at least for now. But it's still true that the Comey case was beyond weak, and Trump's most important nominees told senators whoppers to get their jobs while they were under oath. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

In earlier years, one organization in America, the people that called themselves Republicans, were noble, supporting equality of all people. Now they have twisted & turned themselves into haters of different tints (& gender) and to believe they're right to imprison & harm "others."

Important that we remember that the president of the United States works for the American people, as Rep. Jamie Raskin says, not the opposite. Important that this president recognizes that sooner rather than later. But is it too late?

It seems that too many have forgotten the murders and devastation of World War 2. It lasted for a lifetime for some, killed millions,destroyed cities & more. and left orphans. Why are some being so ignorant and lenient about what's happeinng in our own government and about Ukraine now?

Isn't it wonderful how ingenious and imaginative Americans are at protesting this administration's bullying and undemocratic techniques? Like buying ICE scrapers from a certain well-known home-suppy store and then lining up to return them?!!!

When people claim liberal arts education is unnecessary, I remind them how often we hear/see: “This isn’t the America I know”.
And I remind them that with liberal arts education, they would know what America is as well as how, why, and when we got here. But that’s also why many want it eliminated.
