Congratulations. You harassed a married staffer until she submitted to your perversions leading to her suicide and still kept your job because the Republican Party stands for nothing except the acquisition of power. Congrats, Tony. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Democrats are a failed party. I do not think either party should exist at this point. I would be happy if two new parties arose to counter both the Dems and the GOP. The GOP is a party of abusers, the Dems are enablers, and this dynamic has been in place for the entire 21st century. The Democratic leadership is behaving no differently than they did before, which is the problem. It is the level of threat that has changed: failed democracy became fledgling fascism became an autocratic mafia state, and all the while, Dems collaborated with internal enemies and continue to protect them. Their refusal to focus on election integrity β€” a problem which dates back decades! β€” and instead fundraise off our fear is a key example of their failure.

Secretary Hegseth announced this afternoon that DOD will cease ALL graduate study by military personnel at universities including MIT, all the Ivies, Stanford, etc because such schools teach "the enemy's wicked ideology" to officers.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)

These are not serious people or good faith actors.

Tell Your Representative: No War With Iran | Indivisible Demand your Representative do everything in their power to stop Trump’s military escalation in Iran

FIFA Peace Prize winner Trump is threatening another devastating war of choice in the Middle East over a nuclear program he claims to have obliterated last year.

Don’t let your elected officials dodge responsibility for what’s next. The Constitution puts the power to declare war in Congress’ hands.

They killed him. Border Patrol killed Nural Shah Alam. Add him to the ever growing list of innocent people ICE and Border Patrol have killed. The border patrol agents who dumped him out in the cold should be on trial for murder.

It’s about the public finally getting to see them.
