I've said this before, but: I know what you think about the Supreme Court majority's motivations. And I have my own opinion. But I don't know what they tell themselves.

We have a literal global terrorist regime in place here and the most obvious sign is that the Congress won’t impeach any of the traitorous war criminals in the executive branch. Another sign is that the judicial branch granted immunity to the lead insurrectionist and continue to rule in his favor.

I usually adopt a family through a local grassroots organization, but this year I don’t think it’s gonna work for our family however, the post office has this portal. When children write letters, they gather them up and post them. You can adopt and send them gifts

Talked to a couple friends this week and we’re all talking about how we just can’t get into the spirit. Everything just feels so heavy. Parental guilt because we have kids and isn’t it up to us to create magic this season? How is everyone dealing with the heavy and the stress?

So any thoughts on troops resisting action in Venezuela? Feels like illegal orders to me. When will Congress act to stop this distraction war from happening?

An easy way to let your representatives know to push a vote for the ACA. Less than 2 minutes and I was done. Follow up with a phone call because those make an impact too.
Just imagine Mike Johnson’s face when we get this done.

You know what’s more embarrassing? They keep getting away with it. They are using the constitution to wipe their asses and there’s no accountability from anyone in power. Isn’t this a violation of the 1st amendment? And the free press just rolls with it. Doesn’t push back when their own are bullied.
The White House website just keeps going downhill. It’s an embarrassment.

It's absolutely the Democrats' fault. You can be annoyed with those who didn't vote, but Dems would have won had they given a shit about genocide and offered anything better than "we're not Trump, Trump bad" and "look, we're so right wing we'll include Chaney and have a Republican in the cabinet".

Absolutely. Not supporting genocide is a pretty low bar, and yet here we are. What does America stand for if not that?
We have a lot of Dems, both in office & voters, who don’t believe in democracy. They feel that 3rd party votes are going to hurt their chances so they dissuade people & shame them for exercising their right to vote. Instead, they COULD demand that the Dem leadership stop supporting genocide. Yep.

If we don’t hold this regime accountable for the horrors and injustices they have inflicted on country then what does America even stand for? What did we fight for in WWII?
Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
Prosecute her and everyone involved.

Volunteered at a local food bank distribution tonight. We ran out of food boxes, but there were plenty of vegetables. Lots of families with babies, elderly, & young people. I don’t think it’s a lack of resources, I think they didn’t expect the numbers that showed up to this particular location.

As recently as April of this year (a year and half into the genocide), Kelly voted to give Israel $2 billion worth of US weapons. Only these 15 Senators (all Democrats) voted for the discharge motion sponsored by Bernie Sanders aiming to stop the sale.
