As I look back on my teen years (60 years ago), I believe every book I read other than the Bible, has found their way to the banned book lists.

I will certainly ensure that my grandchildren read those books.

O my, an Insurrection . . . an invasion, liberal thugs in battle gear marching to intimidate everyone . . . look at how scared the onlookers are, frightened, cowering, gnashing of teeth, rending of garments, neighborhoods burning, glass breaking, plywood going on windows, looting.

Trump is nuts

The problem with expecting rank and file military to refuse illegal orders (such as refusing to target civilians in Venezuelan waters) is that the chain of command has to first decide that their units will not comply.

Not surprised that Vance lies as easily as he does . . . he has, in the past, suggested that immigrants were eating pets, while he had intimate relations with the couch.

Jan 6, 2021 - the date of Donald Trump's insurrection against the US is an event he now blames on Biden's FBI.

Biden began his term as president on Jan 20,2021.

On Jan 6, to the extent that he ever was, Trump was still in office.

Unfortunately, although it looks hopeful that the Israel/Palestine conflict may be over and although there is a pause, it has yet to be concluded. Nevertheless, one can agree . . . Trump is a bully.

Trump is considering the Insurrection Act enroute to martial law because non-existent riots in Portland and Chicago are swirling around in his imagination. He is divorced from reality.

We the People are tiring of these senseless shenanigans.

You know a lot of attention has been put on #RFKJr,
#RussellVought & the #GOP Congress on the mess we’re facing but it’s time for #JohnRoberts and his court to take equal blame for the lawless destruction of public health. They are political actors here, no longer can hide behind their robes.

Universality -beginning with universal, unconditional Basic Income, Healthcare and Education- is the foundation for a PEOPLE FIRST society. A society that views the fundamental needs of humanity as the central responsibility of governance. Not corporations, not religions, *people*.

Chump And ICE want us to Retaliate So They Can Declare
Martial Law.........

Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Speaker Johnson is making the wrong call by keeping Congress in recess. It proves only one thing . . . republicans are afraid to govern, and even their constituents can see their intransigence

Me to @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the Comey and James and (probably imminent) Bolton prosecutions

"It doesn’t matter what your politics are. If you say he’s stupid, which he is, if you say he is wrong, which he is, if you say he’s a criminal or sleezy, which he is ... then you’re his enemy.”

What’s happening in America certainly has a lot of parallels to what happened in Germany in the 1930s.

I am not saying that Trump is Hitler, but fascism usually follows the same path at least to some extent.

The warning signs are here.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Americans can't get free health Insurance . . . and some idiots think immigrants can.

Typical of a government who gives no shits about its hard working employees.

1. Shut down the government and don’t even bother to try to work with Dems to figure out a compromise.
2. Threaten for a week to fire employees. Enjoy our trauma.
2. Fire us.

Speaker Mike Johnson won’t swear in Adelita Grijalva — despite her winning her congressional election in Arizona — because they know she’ll be the final vote to release the Epstein files.

Innocent people wouldn't do everything in their power to hide the Epstein files.

The question is: Who opened that account?

Follow the money.

Dear Speaker Mike Johnson,

We the PEOPLE think Congress, especially those of us you TARGET, should have WORK REQUIREMENTS. Since you have sent everyone home since 9/19 (last time House was in session) it should be retroactive for any member NOT in the chamber.

Fondly,
AMERICA

PS YOU WORK FOR US!😡
