This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

Oh also - lawyers aren’t allowed to tell jurors this so i do:

“Jury nullification” is a fancy phrase that just means, “This jury decided not to convict and there’s nothing anyone can do about that.”

If we think a law is unjust or unjustly enforced, we can just not convict. We don’t need a reason.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

This person took this when they called the race

if knowingly starving millions of americans while he builds a gilded ballroom isn't cause for revolution then i'm not sure what is

Treating the Declaration of Independence’s list of grievances like a to do list.

"He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people."

"For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate …".

Nothing bad can happen it can only good happen

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

it was fascist to throw japenese-americans in internment camps? yeah right, i bet you think it's gay to get your dick sucked by a man

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

adulthood is like you wake up and someone is like “that will be $500”

Another way of looking at it

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

This is great. I wish I knew him.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Jeff Bezos was worth $194 billion at the end of 2024.

He’s currently worth $231.5 billion as of today.

headline of my handbasket post from monday "The is simply too much shit"

feeling this again today

Everyone could use a reminder that the idea behind our system of government is that we cede some of our power to it in exchange for it working on our behalf. When it stops doing that it becomes illegitimate and must be changed. The idea that the people can "betray" a government organ is perverse
