No taxation without representation!

Congratulations, Madame President!

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?

Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

3 Scenarios for a Post Martial Law Tyrannical America We should choose the 3rd one

Three scenarios. There are more of course, but he’s right about the only real leverage we have.

El Taco Loco!

Nobody here but them chickens.

Yep. One side wants to give others rights, including those who want to live by conservative values. The other side wants to take rights away, and force everyone to live by conservative values.

Being careful is not a burden - it’s a responsibility. Mature humans carry responsibility lightly.

Keep documenting the lies. The truth is priceless.

This third party is also socially progressive. Diversity, equity, and inclusion everywhere you turn. All the rights for all the people. I think this party would be undefeated. So who should our candidate be?

This list is not exhaustive. I mean traditional Departments that we’ve had. Staffed at an appropriate level. Not bloated. Not niche. Just programs that ensure all Americans have a basic quality of life, and that serve all Americans.

Here’s my idea. We form a third party. This party is for moderate government - that is, government that is the right size to serve people in traditional areas: housing, healthcare including mental health, environmental health, national defense, and disaster preparedness and relief.

We are back in the age of Robber Barons - 100 years on.

Trump’s sanctions on ICC halt tribunal's work, staffers claim According to ICC staff members, sanctions imposed by the Trump administration have made it near impossible for the tribunal to conduct basic tasks, let alone seek justice for victims of war crimes.

Kind of a breathtaking array of issues here. But threatening American employees of the ICC with arrest if they return home, just because they work there? We all need to oppose those kind of nazi tactics.

Staying tuned…

Shelled, salted pistachios. It’s cheating really.

Mountains. They have been the sites of spiritual pilgrimage since forever.

Peter Pan. He had all the fun.

Cereal is only soup when it’s gotten soggy. Then it’s cold, soggy soup, unfit for human consumption. The solution of course is not to use any. So yes, milk is gravy.

High quality education - the kind that opens mind and helps people to think critically.

Star Wars. Episode IV blew us all away when it was first released. We had never seen anything like it before.

Trump is now whining about the "rigged election" during the White House National Day of Prayer event

How do you get whining from this? I get a confession. Second one I’ve heard from his mouth.

They pushed us across an invisible line. They’ve never seen pissed off liberals in fight mode before. They were the overconfident bully, but their comeuppance is here!

Hell no! We are going to win overwhelmingly and they will be trying to pretend they weren’t really THAT supportive.
