We've started getting accustomed to these outrages. Which only paves the road for more Constitutional abuses.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

Maduro accuses WH of seeking regime change, stating the U.S. has sent in covert operations via the CIA under the guise of fighting drugs. He's declared “maximum preparedness” in response to the U.S. military presence in the Caribbean, and warned of serious national mobilization if attacked.

Our confirmed count stands at 8.1 million participants worldwide for yesterday’s No Kings protest. Thank you to everyone who helped verify the numbers through our submission website. While some MAGAs attempted to submit false or misleading data (such as reporting “one person” for major cities)

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him:
...l ran into everybody in NY. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew
-- O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house."

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

It was perfectly safe for the Marines to fire artillery shells over I-5 because the US military never has training accidents.

A world in flight!
I thought about how people seem to be so alone, and how some wish they could just fly away from all of this madness that’s going on. Just remember you’re not alone, and we need all of you, and we are not defeated.
You are special and loved!
