Wait! What? 🤦🏽♂️
This is just butt ugly. An affront to the entire city and country
So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?
If you are a United States servicemember and you are concerned about illegal or immoral orders, or you simply need clarity on your rights and duties, a counselor at the GI Rights Network can help. 877-447-4487 girightshotline.org/en/military-...
In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.
Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.
Thank you. Now, wrangle all your fellow Representatives to speak out in one unified voice “Hell No!” & then personally call the entire chain of command that this is a war crime & crime against humanity. They will be culpable if they follow his insane order.
The President just threatened genocide.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law.
Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.
If Trump bombs power plants in Iran, the humanitarian crisis will be horrific. Experts tell me to expect water shortages, closed hospitals, many deaths.
“We’ve never had a US president so proudly promise to commit war crimes," Sen Chris Murphy says. 1/

We are in a major crisis. If the Republican leadership does not want to call Congress back into session, the Democrats should come back to Washington and do something now to stop this maniac. Staying home and waiting for next week to do something about it is pathetic.

Claude Malhuret says what the majority of the world is thinking
I was delighted to discover that I share a common ancestor with John Lithgow, making him my 8th cousin.
I’m even more delighted to discover that we share the same contempt for tRump.
He made this for No Kings.

Omg! Huge shoutout to San Francisco, CA! Ocean Beach, you crushed it! 🌊
Lucifer has a point
You need to know about the SAVE Act, which recently passed in the House.
So here's a crash course from reporter Ari Berman on how the sweeping voter restriction bill could disenfranchise millions of Americans
Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind."
This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students.

Heads are going to explode 💥
Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

I remember years and years back, my dad was "invited" by a university in another country to come and assess their geology program. Ultimately, after discussing with a couple people who knew the country (and with my mom), he decided to decline the invitation.
The country, at the time, was known for
Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested.
While a $300 million ballroom is constructed and a trash documentary released.
Are you paying attention @budzinski.house.gov ? Get on board with these proposals. You have a primary coming up & I’ll gladly look elsewhere if you don’t
Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.
They are the gestapo. Fuck ICE.
“Please get the truth out about our son.”
Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.
They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.
Black and white portrait of a mature woman with dark hair pulled back in a low bun, wearing a dark suit with a white collared shirt and tie, looking slightly to the side.
Courage isn’t always loud — but sometimes staying silent is impossible. Zofia Kossak‑Szczucka was a Polish Catholic writer and resistance fighter who risked everything to help Jews survive the Holocaust.

No. It’s the beginning, middle & end.
So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.
Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.
