I would never ask someone to do anything I wouldn't do myself, especially if it involves pain. So here is a picture of me donating platelets.

If you are able to, please consider donating whole blood, plasma, or platelets. You just might save a life.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.

How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?

They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

Notice that MAGA never refers to Putin as a “warmonger.” You know, the guy who started the war, bombs civilian population centers daily, & refuses to sign a ceasefire. Nope, according to MAGA, Putin isn’t the warmonger - it’s the people who support Ukraine’s refusal to surrender.

This is your gentle reminder that Russia committed multiple acts of war and terrorism on election day and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it.

Trump filling charges against Kelly for literally upholding his oath of office and reminding others of their duty.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

I haven't seen any MSM outlet point out that Trump also swore to defend our Constitution.

Not surprising given they never point out when he violates it on a weekly, if not daily basis.

I think being tried by a jury of your peers is quite important actually.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

#GrumpyPolitics Telling troops that they must not follow unlawful orders is not sedition. It is not undermining the President.

Unless the President is giving unlawful orders and knows it. In which case, he might throw a tantrum.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:

“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”

That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

Aa handful of complicit sycophants does not count as "many great legal scholars." Also, they urged people to disobey illegal orders, which is part of their training and required by law.

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.

That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
