Darrell Issa has fled the #CA48 race.

He knew he couldn’t beat Ammar Campa-Najjar.

Now #CA48 is one of the most critical seats to #FlipBlue.

Our March goal: $25,000 in small-dollar donations from the #Bluesky community.

Chip in $10, $25, $36, $50, $100

6 Americans came home in transfer cases yesterday.
No war declaration. No congressional vote. No plan.
Just a β€˜Peace President’ who launched Operation Epic Fury and told us more deaths are β€˜likely.’ Congress cannot stay silent.

Trump can’t expect Europe’s help dealing with Iran while disengaging from Europe and abandoning Ukraine.

You can’t demand European solidarity in the Middle East while leaving us alone against Russian aggression.

It goes both ways

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.

Fox News: studies show it’s increased R vote shares, shifted votes to right, and killed people during Pandemic. 13% of people (or 1 in 8) say it’s their main news source. 22% of 65πŸ”Ίrely on it.

Ban propaganda.

Since the beginning of the war in Iran, Trump and his regime have carefully pretended to ignore American casualties, as if lives were interchangeable pawns. Their cynicism seeps through every statement, while the media looks the other way.

Let’s be clear: Fox News covered last year’s dignified transfer footage with graphics to shield Trump from criticism for wearing a baseball cap during yesterday’s ceremony. Disrespecting the very families the moment was meant to honor.

That was to lift the siege of Sarajevo, I am referring to Vojislav Kostunica and the formation of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia and the overthrow of Miloőević himself in October 2000, yes there were NATO strikes the year before, but the butcher still hung on to power. I was in uni at the time.

I have been to the region several times and am well read on the history of the ex-Yugoslavia. There is a Serbo-Croat language, but no Serbo-Croat people. Just as Trump reminds me so much of Miloőević, his downfall contains so many universal lessons for the world. We are human, not exceptional.

Look up the makeup of the coalition that finally bought down Slobodan Miloőević, we will need one just as broad to take down the GOP. That will include conservatives as well as socialists.

100% this. The house is on fire right now and the only thing that matters is putting it out. I don’t give a damn for purity tests right now, or even policy debates. The Democrats are not fascists, that is all that matters right now.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia.

U.S. Bishops Take On Trump At the Supreme Court: β€œProtect God-Given Human Dignity” The U.S. bishops have filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court calling Trump’s birthright citizenship order β€œimmoral” and unconstitutional β€” a consequential legal action without recent parallel.

Pope Leo is a LEADER.
US Catholic bishops file brief w/ the court,calling Trump’s order on birthright citizenship β€œantithetical to church’s teaching”.
The Church speaks with one voice on fundamental human dignity.
β€œChildren do nothing wrong by being born in the US.”

This is immoral.

Trump officials gutted USAID and cut off food aid to refugees. Clinics closed. Warnings poured in and were ignored. Rations collapsed. Children starved to death.

πŸ‘‰πŸΎAgency staffers even celebrated the cuts with a sheet cake while lifesaving programs were being shut down.πŸ‘ˆπŸΎ

The fact Trump is saying he will not obey the Supreme Courts ruling, he will be imposing more tariffs says it all, "again". It proves "again" when the next election happens, he will not honor the results of the elections, unless he wins.
