When any elected official calls for the death of their political opponents, they must to be removed from office IMMEDIATELY and prosecuted for making a credible violent threat.

Finding out that some trumplicans MIGHT have a moral line in the sand they won't cross is the most surprising thing to happen in the last 48 hours.

In honor of the tr8tors:

Happy Holloween, y'all!

For those of you who haven't studied the Roman Republic, it's a really bad idea to have a powerful military dependent on wealthy individuals for their pay and not the government.

While objectively terrible, destroying the physical building of the Whitehouse is the least terrible thing this administration has done since inauguration. It's also consistent with everything else he's done, so not exactly surprising.

Here's a good and worthy cause: the legal defense of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

It's especially important now, as the US government wants to deport Abrego Garcia to Uganda - a place he is not from - in order to make their whole judicial embarrassment disappear. I just donated, and so can you.

I like the tacit admission by this monotheist that the god Pazuzu is both older and also real.

Very in line with, "...no gods BEFORE me [after is fine]."

Gov. Hochul has a solution: if they gerrymander, we counter-gerry.

We could save what's left of our government.

Absolutely vile.

Congresswoman tracks down U.S. citizen children detained at Ferndale facility The kids and their mother have been held at the facility for nearly two weeks without any contact with legal representation or charges being filed, their lawyer says.

Waiting around for the critical mass to figure out this is intrinsically evil and deleterious to democratic government/civil liberties, is like watching people diametrically opposed to giving the "push" door a little nudge to see if the sign is really true for them as well.

Keep pulling, I guess.

The future owner would become a trillionaire in two weeks.

The fam spent Independence Day in Boston touring important historical places. My favorite by far: the USS Constitution. The USN runs the ship and they allowed me to go into the bilge to touch the original 227 year old keel!!!!!

Congratulations on fifty years!

Happy Independence Day from the Old State House in Boston, MA. The Declaration of Independence was publicly read from the balcony (for the 249th time) moments after I took this photo.

True patriotism calls us to demand more from our country, greater liberty, and a better future together, always.

This has been the saddest and most disappointing "I told you so." I'm so tired of being right about these monstrous people.

I'm starting a new political party. It's called Unity, and our platform is political and economic democracy.

Unity electeds who later refuse the party platform will be asked to resign their political position and won't be allowed to run as Unity candidates in future. Because we have standards.

I don't know who made this, but it's fine art.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

The Iranians I've met over the years are decent people, kind, with a profound sense of hospitality. One Iranian woman I met (working retail) once brought me tea and cookies while I worked because we made small talk about snacks.

I'm a no on the whole unnecessary war thing.

But I'm genuinely curious - has anyone met an actual Iranian?

Living in Annapolis be like:

Generalissimo Happy Meal.

If basic morality won't sway you to do the right thing re: immigration, consider the objective facts. Whether you're looking at economic or demographic data, the only thing that's clear is that the US desperately needs more people.

WE NEED IMMIGRANTS.

We don't need racist assholes, though.

I constantly veer between, "I must watch every single minute of this fucked up historic tragedy unfold," and, "I can't watch one more minute so I'm going to preserve my mental health by doing some useless *hobby* activities."

Yes, the city should do more to help our houseless neighbors.

I'd love to see the city hire social workers to work on this, develop a nutrition plan, set up accessible community showers, provide weather appropriate clothing, and make public transport free for families experiencing houselessness.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but if you think active duty military should be deployed against American citizens who are legitimately protesting illegal ICE activity, you're a gullible fucking moron who's not smart enough to comprehend the very obvious moral and ethical ramifications.

The more I read about the Ukranian drone attack in Russia, the more it sounds like Pearl Harbor meets Agincourt...but on a larger scale, somehow.

Ukraine is pioneering the next generation of warfare and it doesn't seem like anyone else has taken enough notice.

A few pictures can't explain how it felt to stand there in that ~200 year old structure. I couldn't get over how small it was, even after the expansions. It was a nothing room that generations of people lived in.

This is what plantations really look like.

It's a Memorial, not a wedding venue.

The glass window is modern. The original 1' x 3' window (no glass) is above the visible window. You can see the original framing, hidden but still there if you know how to find it. 19/
