Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”

“At a conference in Algiers, diplomats and leaders convened to advance an African Union resolution passed at a meeting earlier this year calling for justice and reparations for victims of colonialism.”

Colonialism still shapes our present. Colonial states need to make reparations for their harms.

Mark Kelly: "When I heard the secretary say that they're gonna pause immigration from third world countries, I take that as a message that they don't want brown people coming to the US. And I find that disturbing."

The Govt of Venezuela has formally submitted a letter to OPEC claiming that the USA under Trump is attempting to seize their oil reserves through military force.

This is criminal. It is another war as Americans starve.

Dems need to demand GOP answer why they continue to stand by a fascist.

I’ll tell you why the right wing is going nowhere. They have the most powerful megaphones on the planet: Faux News, Untruth Social & formerly Twitter. They are masters at propaganda and have been winning the (dis)information war for a decade. Their brainwashing program is top-notch.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

We cannot let this be normal. A sitting United States President has called for ‘death’ to sitting Members of Congress.

Those who he targets — veterans, intelligence community, federal workers — must stand up and fight.

Some in the Democratic Party want to you think we must choose between social justice and economic populism.

Rubbish.

The only path forward is embracing both.
