Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."
RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
Of course they are
Everyone should read Trump’s long word salad quoted in full by @hcrichardson.bsky.social when he was asked why the government has not been able to help get Americans out of the war zone.
Joe Biden was forced out of the presidency for less.
I guess we are just paying these people to fly around making workout videos and attending sporting events.

Four years have passed since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia was supposed to win in three days. Instead, Ukraine reinvented modern warfare, built a drone industry, and can destroy a thousand Russian soldiers in a day. Ukraine can win.

In today’s Letter, @hcrichardson.bsky.social makes it clear that ignorance is no longer an option. After Renee and Alex you’re either for a law based constitutional republic, or you’re not. The time to choose has passed.
We are now 36 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files
National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.
Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)
Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

It’s because they’re taking advantage of his illness to make themselves rich
We now have a full-blown European-American crisis, and for no reason that the president is able to articulate
On January 16, 1919, the U.S. Congress ratified the 18th amendment prohibiting alcohol's sale, distribution, and production. The 21st amendment ended Prohibition as evidenced in the gleeful 1933 title, "Cocktail Parade." #TGIF #Trusty #digitallibraries buff.ly/saL2pOe
This is what criminals & soon-to-be-sanctioned dictators do: set up a cozy personal nest egg in a country that won't extradite them & has no agreements that would compel them to enforce other countries' sanctions.
That's why sanctioned Russian oligarchs made a beeline for the UAE in 2022.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.
U.S. pals:
Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army.
There are better charities out there. Much better.
