Optimistic realist. Humanity gets twisted into evil shapes by trauma, but we can recover, be better, & extend our recovery to others & the planet.

He sounds very liberal to me. He's not from a rich family. He talks about taking on a broken, corrupt system; about solidly funded public schools in ALL areas, not just wealthy zip codes. He is for taxing the rich & big companies & says he wants to fundamentally change our politics.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

How being a teacher spurred James Talarico’s Senate bid Talarico’s two years as a public school teacher is central to his Democratic Senate campaign after shaping his policy goals and driving his political rise through the Texas House.

This is obviously written by a fan, but again, if he is who he seems to be, he sounds okay to me. A lot of the bills he's co-written revolve around education & children's rights to education & support. I like that.

I don't have a horse in the game, either. I love Jasmine Crockett. I don't like that she takes money from AIPAC, but I would vote for her anyway.

I guess time will tell, but I hope Talarico is who he says he is.

Stop supporting genocide. It's not that hard. Many intelligent &, as I said, former Zionists (and wonderful people - I'm a big fan of Gabor MatΓ©) can do that. Why can't you?

After the stroke he definitely needed to resign

He's moved to the right so much it proves that being a conservative involves brain damage

Maybe I'm kirking out but the unreality of this war is wild. People posting that thousands of Kurds are fighting the regime for the CIA, while the Kurds say it isn't happening. Every video of a missile attack I just have to assume is AI whether it is real or not.

A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime

Trump never had a plan for the more than 1 million Americans in the Middle East, but if you’re a MAGA minion, his White House swoops in to save you.

I'll just looked again, & I don't seem to see any evidence of that.

We're fighting to stop a genocide. Slanders against our movements are a distraction. - JVP As the largest anti-Zionist Jewish organization in the world, we unequivocally reject the conflation of antisemitism with anti-Zionism and reaffirm in the strongest terms that there is no place for an...

Are you suggesting Einstein would have approved of the genocide being carried out by Netanyahu? I don't think so!

So Jewish friends who used to Zionists but are disgusted by the apartied state & fascists currently in power are anti-Semites? BS!

Me too. Ironically, I seem to retain more information, especially in nonfiction. While I generally was good at retaining information, I would struggle to remember the author & title. With audiobooks, I don't find this to be an issue.

I’m gonna say this and I’m gonna be very ugly about this. This stupid idiot needs to not even put Winston Churchill in his mouth. This is an embarrassment and an insult to people that live in Britain.. Winston Churchill is a better man than this piece of shit we have for president

LIEU: Did Amalia commit a crime?

NOEM: She did not. She's with her family

LIEU: The reason she's with her family is because she almost died in ICE detention until folks brought a lawsuit forcing her release

I was just looking at the audiobook editions. I was always a big reader, & was a total snob. A friend kept suggesting audiobooks to me, but I wouldn't even try them. Then, about 20 years ago, when I was swamped & exhausted & couldn't find time to read, I 'discovered' them. Now I'm addicted to them.

And, the β€œblanket” that she forgot on the plane, Corey fired the pilot. Turns out it wasn’t a β€œblanket” it was a bag of sex toys. It’s in an upcoming book β€œLeaked”.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Georgia says Elon Musk’s America PAC violated election law It’s only voter fraud when the other guy does it.

I DON'T believe millions of people voted for this shit. Musk needs to be investigated.
