The MAGA Republicans are criminals, pedophiles, killers, drug dealers, rapists and deplorables. Some may be ok.

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

"The most ubiquitous form of American culture nowadays is not jazz programming going out on shortwave radio across Eurasia, but the social-media platforms that pump conspiracy theories, extremism, advertising, pornography, and spam into every corner of the globe."

"We always think about America’s postwar role in Europe as an act of great generosity, the defense of allies from Soviet aggression. But by putting democracy at the center of our international identity, we also helped strengthen our own political system"

The Beacon of Democracy Goes Dark

For nearly 250 years, America promoted freedom and equality abroad, even when it failed to live up to those ideals itself. Not anymore.

Today I'm thinking about power - who's always had it, and who's just sitting down at the table.

It's long overdue for a Native woman to serve in the US Senate. If you agree with me, will you pitch in $10 here to help send me there? secure.actblue.com/donate/pf-so...

These are critical losses. You can't just hire to replace the knowledge and experience base. It could take decades to rebuild these agencies.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

We are spending 170 billion dollars on ICE to brutalize communities and traumatize children for life.

This is being done in your name, with your tax dollars, on our watch. Don’t look away.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.
