The constitution's design does not grant the president a kinglike ability to take the country to war by himself, lest he do so for self-serving reasons. That is the entire purpose of dividing that authority between POTUS and Congress. Guess what just happened? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
The overdue firing of Kristi Noem will have no bearing on the continued plans for unwanted warehousing of human beings across the country.
The spotlight should focus on these warehouses (de facto concentration camps) during Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing.

Sierra Nevada mountains just north of LA, CA, USA. Jagged snow covered peaks rise above green trees and a yellowish plain. A small blue lake peeks around a bend.

Please, I urge you to spend 45 minutes listening to these brave women who expose how ICE and Customs and Border Patrol exist to torture, terrorize, and kill, and how they operate with impunity.
Now, they're coming after American citizens.

Everyone is pretty familiar with the Emmett Till lynching in 1955.
Everyone is pretty familiar with the Little Rock Nine in 1957.
But have you heard about Wrightsville, Arkansas in 1959?
You probably didnt, because it barely became public until 2018

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
Preparing food for the community kitchen
Don't forget that we have a *weekly* #Community #Kitchen event every Friday evening from 5-7pm at the Ken Kennett Centre on Justins Avenue.
Chefs prepare fresh food that would otherwise be wasted, and you pay what you feel the meal is worth. Bring a doggy bag too take extras home!
Senator Kevin Cramer says the U.S. has a “biblical responsibility to Israel.”
That’s the logic behind the U.S. war on Iran.
Can anything get more religious fanatism than this?
Absolute insanity 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Forcibly displaced Lebanese are now gathering along the sea; they have nowhere to go; Israel has announced its intent to make conditions that render civilian life unsustainable. A second genocide. Now in Lebanon.

A six-year-old girl was fatally shot in the head while left unattended in a car in Michigan. Four other children under the age of 12 were in the car with her.
No child should ever have access to an unsecured gun. This never should have happened.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
This is the reality. Covid can cause blood clots. Why aren’t most of our press talking about this? All they are talking about is the initial infection and NOT the post infection risks. Tired of the gaslighting.

The Federal Book Ban bill uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books.
Federal control over local policy - and federal control of reading, writing, and publishing - is unacceptable.

There is a saying in the backwoods where I grew up that what the devil throws over his shoulder comes back between his feet.
We may not live to see it, we may not recognize it when it happens, but it will happen, for the universe keeps an impeccably balanced ledger.
