Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2
I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year
Having difficult time doing that when my cancer treatment bills are coming in & my Congresswoman wants to cut my SS payment & Medicare coverage.
She's increased her wealth an average of $20M over her 2 terms while I keep going without a little more each month.
But, I am getting a little more pissed🤬
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?!
Are you fucking kidding me?!?
A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
Amazing turnout for today's...

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”
Microdose hope is my new favorite advice.

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."
Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

the Dems need to hold a press conference daily, as a form of shadow gov't, to keep the public informed. We know trump will gladly KILL ppl (see COVID), & dems must point out the methods he will use. Regrets later won't suffice, they must try to protect the public
If ONLY!
Unfortunately, regular people will be the ones wearing piss.
Park Rangers are completely appropriate resistance leaders.
Among other things, Trump’s latest unconstitutional move will pause research on cures for childhood cancer, close homeless shelters, halt food assistance, reduce safety from domestic violence, and shut down suicide hotlines.
People will die.
Is this what you “price of eggs” voters wanted?
If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy.
Or in prison.
Not the Secretary of Defense.
This is exactly the kind of experience MAGATs voted for!
Someone didn’t pay any attention in their basic Economics class
Aurouooooh!

Thank you, Canada. And we’re so sorry about him.
Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
If strategically denying care is a required strategy for health insurance sustainability, the business model may be need to be retired.
We can do better.
Other First world countries around the world have been doing it for decades.
