β€œThe president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt.

And that’s wrong.

These are questions we were asking in the 70s and everyone thought (and still thinks) I'm crazy for asking them here in TX.

And, the assault on the Voting Rights Act continues, this time from the Department of Justice itself. A huge irony, considering that DoJ was created in the first place to protect individual rights after the Civil War.

My allergies decline to participate in this trend. Have any of you pulled up even 5 year old carpet?! Disgusting!

I said a similar thing when I was testifying to our State house of reps when they passed SNAP restrictions but chose not to pass a health baseline study in food deserts. The cruelty is the only point.

I said, 'get them while you can' the other day and was accused of being hyperbolic. I don't know why my Cassandra-esque powers only seem to work outside of my love life, but they haven't been wrong yet.

With changes and uncertainty coming the Federal level, here’s a breakdown about what this all means for #vaccine coverage in Washington state. TLDR; if you’re on a state regulated plan, your insurance must cover these vaccines as preventative services through 2026. medium.com/commissioner...

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income.

A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income.

Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.

That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The attack on free speech is incredibly disturbing. The founders knew the importance of it which is why it’s in the first amendment.

Everything happening now from governors demanding ppl be fired to the President shutting down tv shows is a shredding of the first amendment.

You can substitute tax breaks or health care for speech and it still works.

He deserves zero fucks but he does deserve to be removed from office, found guilty of waste, fraud and abuse, and can then stumble ineptly right off a cliff.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

None of the last 31 political attacks was by anyone from 'the Left'. Not one. We can count them. The script written for Donald Trump which he read stiltedly straight after Charlie Kirk was shot declared assassinations in the USA were caused by β€œthe radical Left”. He said: β€œFor years, those on…
