Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Totally incapable of dealing with the posthumous lionization of Dick Cheney. He was a monster. Now he's dead.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. Itโs astoundingly anti-Christ.

Q: "What's your reaction to Jesus telling you that you must *give* to the poor, not take away from the poor?"

I Talked to a Trump Voter for Two Hours. Hereโs What Happened.
The protest was "No Kings", but our conversation was the change.
Can one conversation really change anything? How do you reach someone whose worldview feels miles apart from your ownโor whoโs convinced secret cabals & shadow governments control everything? Whatโs the point of talking to people whose beliefs seem impossible to move?

In this video, I talk about how important local independent media has been in surfacing ICE abuse.
I should have included public defenders in there, too, bc with their help, these cases are crumbling.

As absurd as this quid pro quo headline is on its face, Zelensky has got the orange felon's number, who might be just vain enough to overlook the utter contempt that motivates this particular gambit. Of course, if T**** bites, Vlad will call it an act of direct hostility.
