Pity the nation whose people are sheep, and whose shepherds mislead them.
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced...
— oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away.
My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty.
~ Ferlinghetti

You warmongering bastard. So you conspired with bibi to get the orange fuckface to finally get behind the absolute lies that have been coming out of your mouths for over 30 fucking years. Feel accomplished finally lindsey? bibi? Only took one or two other dumbasses to buy it this time. Fuck you.
Red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus), male & female. In Ohio these beautiful birds are a harbinger of spring, as they return to the swamps and roadsides in late February. The number of breeding pairs in North & Central America may exceed 250 million in peak years. #birds #photography 🦉
#ChristianZionism believes supporting Israel is divine mandate, driven by the myth that a Jewish Holy Land advances the return of Jesus. They do NOT love the Jewish people - they are a means to an end & if they don't convert after #Armageddon - oopsie, Hell for you guys!

Statement from Major General (Ret.) Paul D. Eaton, an Army commander during Operation Iraqi Freedom:
ohthatmomglow > Iran (on threads) - I remember when "While You Were Sleeping" was a cute 90's RomCom and not the start of WWIII.
Oh good, world peace canceled again
How many times have I heard this? 🙄😂📷 (Although I do love my stove, 😂😂😂) 📷#photography
Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.
This is my friend Matt's Emmy from 2011 which I now proudly accept. Thank you all for this great honor.
