Facts Not Fakes

War, at its most profitable, is always the goal they don't tell you about. ~AdminMatt

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Is this really where we are? A sitting member of Congress going after fellow members like this is wild.

The fake sympathy paired with a swipe at two Muslim colleagues is straight-up Islamophobic garbage.

What a useless hemorrhoid.
Because calling her an a-hole would be too generous, as a-holes actually have useful functions.

So news comes out that the DoJ tried to hide 60 pages of the Epstein files which detail Trump’s assault on a 13yo girl. To distract from that, he bombed a girl’s school and murdered 90+ school girls.

My law firm is currently litigating 86 voting and election cases in 41 states. I expect several more to be filed this week. Here are the states where we are currently most active:

These children have never known a life outside of war. Even at this young age, they honor the memory of Ukraine's fallen defenders with a moment of silence.

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities.

I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

As it relates to current news,

I don’t know what to say.

Keep screaming. Keep fighting.

Protect your loved ones. Protect humanity.

Vote. Vote. Vote.

Refuse to roll over. Refuse to give up.

They cannot win. They simply cannot.

Exactly.
I want to know what secret deals Trump and Kushner made with Netanyahu.
And I think many of the people in the US would be somewhat relieved that certain admin people, including their leader, were taken out, while at the same time be enraged that another country would do that to our nation.

Your fear is correct.
I see Congresspeople and others talking about war gaming actions Trump might take, and how they will respond, and I keep screaming to myself, “Once he’s done it, it will be too late! You all have to plan to PREVENT whatever evils he plans, and do it NOW.”

In 2017 when sending pissy postcards to Trump’s White House was a thing, I was making postcards for my group to use that were old Trump tweets marked up with my comments in red.
Many of them were EXACTLY the same as those now being thrown around by pundits.
We tried to warn people.

I hope for the same.
The sooner the better.

Exactly.
When I heard him say that this morning, my first and only thought was, “So is that why he started bombing Iran? To get Senate Dems to approve funding for DHS and ICE?”

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Yep.
Back in the old days, I always questioned that “America is the greatest nation” stuff… who said so? Did they take a poll? Was there a world championship we won?
But these days, I know we are the punchline to every geopolitical joke.

YES!
Love Sen. Kelly too.
I donate far more to Ukrainian causes than to political campaigns here in the US.
BUT:
Voices matter too and cost little (a stamp for a letter, gas to go knock on doors for a campaign or a visit local congressional offices if possible, etc.) to nothing, except our time.

I’m not always right, but when I am it’s usually all of the time.

‼️‼️‼️ Renee Good did NOT deserve to have her brains blown out in front of her dog for not complying with armed vigilantes who were terrorizing HER community.

You simply arrest, fine and release.

YOU DO NOT MURDER!
ARREST ICE AGENT ROSS NOW ‼️‼️‼️

Donald Trump has launched more military attacks at more countries than any other president this century. An yet, the simple-minded fool is *obsessed* with getting a shiny Peace Prize.

And you wonder why he would never let us see any of his report cards.

This man is as dumb as a bag of bricks with a hole in it.

And he has absolutely no endgame in mind for the Forever War he just got us into.
