"Veteran's Against Fascism," including disabled veterans, were arrested inside of the Capitol building today as they staged a protest against Trump's war in Iran.
This is Trump's America.
@LakotaMan1 We accuse Russia of spending millions/billions on the war in Ukraine instead of their people, and now the USA is doing the same damn thing in Iran. Shake my head.
Obama on Jesse Jackson: "The message he sent to a 22 year old child of a single mother with a funny name, an outsider, was that maybe there wasn't any place, any room, where we didn't belong"
@LakotaMan1@LakotaMan1 while I appreciate your apology-and it is important-we collectively need to find other words to describe female public servants so that the c word is never used as it seeps as acceptable into the consciousness of those who read the post.
I try not to make political posts. I really do. But I'm watching the @HillaryClinton testimony right now, and it's one of those moments where something just hits you in a way you can't scroll past.
Watching her answer questions, make her points with precision and composure, command the room with the kind of quiet competence that used to be the baseline for public service... it's a painful reminder. This country had a chance to choose a fundamentally different path, and we didn't take it.
You don't have to agree with every policy position she ever held. That's not the point. The point is that we were offered serious, prepared, deeply knowledgeable leadership, and we said no thanks. That's the American tragedy. Not a partisan one. A civic one.
Okay. Back to not making political posts. https://t.co/B112Nef9Md
