And they do.

Look at what Pelosi, Clyburn, & Hoyer, Dem leaders in The House did with supporting an anti-choice, anti-queer, NRA bootlicker Rep. Henry Cuellar. The dude's a corrupt scumbag who Trump pardoned & STILL serving because they supported him over his progressive female challenger. /2

tiny kingdoms of wealth, with increasing pockets of deep poverty in the midst of a middle class that was being broken &destroyed. Rev Jackson did warn us - the US will become 1990's CT if we don't tackle inequality & poverty. Clear and correct, He got little coverage.

RIP Rev Jesse Jackson-
I met him in Hartford and in TN. He was friendly and accessible.- in 1991 Reverend Jackson marched from Bridgeport to Hartford, two of the poorest cities in America, highlighting that neighboring Greenwich, home to the then President Bush was one of the richest -

How many Dems have died in office in last terms to disastrous ends-votes lost, programs cut? She is 82, not strong- not out in the community - rarely open office hours- the hubris knowing she is running down- then the added disrespect to her constituents and the bad take on ICE R needs to go!

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered β€œhighly trained.”

The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

πŸ•ŠοΈ WALK FOR PEACE IN COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA
A Day to Remember on the Gervais Street Bridge
Yesterday, thousands of people in Columbia, SC walked together with the SaαΉ…gha across the Gervais Street Bridge β€” transforming an ordinary morning into a moving river of compassion and unity.
Families, elders, children, students, faith leaders, and community members from every background joined with open hearts. The sound of footsteps, the stillness of reverence, and the collective goodwill created a moment Columbia will remember for years to come.

The venerable monks offer their deepest gratitude to everyone who walked, waved, supported, or simply paused to send wishes of peace for the journey.
May this spirit of kindness continue to flow through South Carolina and across the nation.
πŸ™ Thank you, Columbia.

Truly amazing how many people in this bastion of the bible-belt to see the venerable monks from Texas on their Walk for Peace.

Let's get one thing crystal clear. You know they are lying. "She had been harassing the agents all day" IT WAS 9:30 AM. She had just dropped off her child. No mother has time for serious prolonged agitation before 10 am. If you don't believe the videos and witnesses, believe that, not the bullshit

Impeachment is a Duty The importance of telling a consistent and accurate story on matters of fire.

Impeachment isn't a tactic, and it's not a matter of practicality.

It's an unambiguous duty. You don't do it because it's smart, you do it because that is what you swore to do.

Yeah, what kind of democratic socialist shops w/ a brand that (checks notes) owns their supply chain, reduces their carbon footprint, & teaches workers how to handcraft quality goods for a fair wage. Why isn't she wearing $40 pleather boots glued together by slaves who sleep on the factory floor?

Imagine if in 2026 we decided everyone should have access to:

Housing
Food
Clean water
Childcare
Healthcare
Paid time off
Education

We can choose to make it happen.

We can stop blaming people for being sick, poor or marginalized & start demanding more from the elite.

Nursing homes are about to get a lot worse, thanks to Trump and RFK Jr. We can debate tax policy. We can debate spending priorities. But protecting the elderly should not be a debate at all.

First they decided to strip nursing of its β€œprofessional” designation.

Now they’re removing a requirement that ensured nursing homes receiving Medicare or Medicaid funding had an RN available 24/7.

This regime doesn’t care about the elderly & disabled.

This policy change will kill people.

My dog and two cats love to throw up on the floor and they represent 60% of the household. As a leader I can't just ignore public opinion so I also throw up on the floor sometimes to stay popular

Bishop Romero:
Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all. Peace is dynamism.
Peace is generosity.
It is right & it is duty.

20 people have died in Ice Detention. That's more people than have died in Detention for 8 years.

Thread.
There is nothing more ridiculous than people basing their identity and self-esteem on the random chance of their birth and genealogy. The first person of my name to come to America came here from London in 1635 as an indentured servant. We continued to be poor for the next 390 years.

What a world to go to bed thinking about one mass shooting and wake up to news of another, a targeted hate crime, at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. And also in the video where an actual hero, Ahmed al Ahmed chooses not to kill one of the terrorists.
