Tentacles of haphazard branches spring from a garry oak tree just outside my window. This old gnarly tree is covered in moss and just beginning to bud. Sunset unfolds beyond the branches bringing soft pastels with the tiniest touch of blue

I really feel, all the GOP should be held accountable for kingdingalings πŸ‘ΉπŸŠπŸ’©πŸ€‘πŸ‘ crimes. They all are allowing him to commit these crimes. They're supposed to monitor, & prevent this kinda shite from happening.

If the government dropped a bomb that took my kid from me, I wouldn’t be thinking about politics or strategy. I’d be thinking about who did it, and how far I’d have to go to make them feel what I felt. People act surprised when the world gets more dangerous, but this is exactly how it happens.

Yeah I stop reading after someone says "I supported/voted for trump".
I don't need to know anything more about you, I offer no forgiveness or absolution, I grant you no support, no comfort, no cup of tea and a cookie.
You sort your damned self out!

The US has perfected its propaganda. To the point that people can't tell what is and isn't propaganda.

There is NOTHING glorious about war!

There is blood, smell of death, disease, rape & pillage, moans of pain, & confusion

Nothing can prepare you for the first assault. The sounds of screaming from lost limbs, lost companions, & yet our president, who has never gone to war, persists

Neither have I

Every time some right wing fucker talks about migrants who commit crimes, I go ask them why they're not commenting on the crimes that Jan6ers have gone onto commit (two have been arrested this week). This guy features prominently.

I’m in Canada, so can’t feel everything you are feeling. Yes, Trump has attacked us too, but the hurt is small by comparison. You need to know,though, that the vast majority of Canadians are on your side, supporting you in whatever small way that we can.

Jimmy Carter says a full investigation would show Trump lost in 2016 'He was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf,' Carter said.

These are war crimes, violations of the Geneva Conventions.

Increasingly I think we should turn the whole Trump cabinet over to the ICC to be tried at The Hague.

2 years from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now, and 20 years from now, Americans are going to be subject to attacks here and all over the world because of what Trump is doing right now.

The economic story just changed dramatically.

Payrolls fell -92k in Feb. Jan growth was revised down by -4k to +126k. And Dec revisions subtracted -64k to -17k.

Unemployment rate up a tick to 4.4%.

Recession questions are back on the menu
