Man, how quickly we forget. I forgot all about Tuberville's disrespect of our armed forces.
I concur with the "sand in the gears", just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

That came out totally wrong, I am not advocating for any illegal activities at this time. I believe in the courts, and I hope they are able to keep him at bay. Meanwhile, as long as it's legal, we should be doing whatever we can to keep him restrained.

Also, I understand your ire, I feel the same way. If I had the ability, or access, to other members of the Senate (or even the President) I would let them have an earful, I'm certain I'd end up on the news. I'm way past the point of believing anyone should show any lawful restraint.

I know what unanimous consent is, but why do you want her to quit voting for it? I imagine it's an attempt to slow-roll any Republican nomination but is there something else I am missing?

I don't have many regrets in life, but donating to you is definitely one of them.

A lot of people are saying "Idiocracy" is turning into a documentary, sorry I think "Soylent Green" would be much closer to describing the direction we're headed.

I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

It's kind of hard to know where to go next when the experts aren't leading. Bernie and AOC, but we need more voices from leadership. Things are so messed up right now I don't even know who to donate to.

Definitely. In Dayton, Ohio. Please remind everyone to keep it peaceful.

Great tips for anyone planning on attending protests this Saturday.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isnโ€™t a race to the bottom. Itโ€™s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

It was this level of intelligence that lost us the war on drugs.

Hate to admit that I dropped X, but I still have discussions with GROK. In all reality, GROK doesnโ€™t appear to be to enamored with Elon.

I just donโ€™t see him having the โ€œcultโ€ following that Trump does. It all depends whether the Republican lawmakers would fall in behind him. Neither Vance nor Miller understand leadership.

I understand. It goes against everything I believe in to wish someone goes home to meet their maker, but each morning I look for that "Breaking News".

About a month ago I quit X and the Nextdoor app at the same time, I really think that they were affecting my mental health. I did keep GROK as a standalone app since I enjoy having long "discussions" with it. I've found if I ask the right questions, I can get answers that appear honest and accurate

The law requires hospitals treat undocumented and uninsured persons, that's the law. When they don't get paid by Medicaid those become "uncompensated care". Guess who eventually pays for those?

Iโ€™m really shocked at how blatant racism has become, theyโ€™re not even attempting to hide it.

They are putting a time limit on the exemptions, 12 months in any 24-month period. So even more so it seems aimed at a specific group of soldiers. This policy would basically limit 60% of black men to a two-year term.

The real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

Luckily, they are also going after food delivery guys. We all really needed to have something worth laughing at.

Hey, letโ€™s stop saying โ€œwe might not have an election in 2028โ€ and start saying, โ€œIf Trump thinks weโ€™re not having an election in 2028, then heโ€™s mistaken about how this works.โ€

Seems like that is what I was taught in school 60 years ago.

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen.

Where the fuck are the Republicans in congress? We are at a point where no one can claim that they donโ€™t know what is going on
