Hillary wasn’t in my top three favorite democratic candidates in ‘16
Joe and Kamala weren’t in my three top favorite Democratic candidates in ‘20

So please don’t ask me to vote for a middle of the road Democratic candidate in the primaries in ‘28 just because they’re “safe“

Former ICE agent:

On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Don’t support anyone who isn’t interested in justice and only “wants to unite.” There can be no harmony without justice.

The Epstein horrors continue to be made public and yet only one prosecution.
The rich and the powerful hide in the shadows… Epstein is old news though.
What horror replaced his island or his ranch in New Mexico or his townhouse in New York?
How many children are being abused or killed today?

James Talarico: “This is the party that ran against cancel culture, and now they are trying to control what we watch, what we say, and what we read.

This is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture — the kind that comes from the top."

*Dream*
Donald Trump golfing. Silent crowds on either side of the fairway.
He starts to swing, but a child appears in front of him…
She asks.
“Do you remember me”
“Do you remember what you did to me”

The crowd silent. Eyes on the president as a trickle of urine runs down his leg.

“For profit detention centers” tells you everything you need to know about them and how they’re run.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.

She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

Surrounded by loved ones.
Not figuratively, but literally.
Her room overflowing.
People in doorways.
Surrounded by love.

There were tears, hugs, a prayer,
Stories told, sweet laughter soothed us.
She would have loved to have been there,
And of course she was.

RIP Charlie Faye
