Alaska Airlines Junior Captain Violet welcomes you to flight 839, with non-stop service from Seattle to Lihue, Kauai. @AlaskaAir#AlaskaAirlinesIsTheBest
Mahalo for helping Violet here to Kauai where she can help take care of her kupuna! Aloha 'Oe!
Process the fact that—as of yesterday—if a tourist so much as dips a finger in the Reflecting Pool Trump ruined they get detained for an hour by multiple federal agencies
This is the police state Republicans hysterically warned of for decades, and now that it's here they love it
Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview
Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.
Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.
Welker: Do you have evidence?
Trump: All I have to do is look.
Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow
Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.
Ooooof.
We really need to take this to heart.
While many of us are aware, too many wear blinders.
Shame on those - and the rest of us for allowing this.
Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Everyone COPY this video, share it far and wide. Paramount Skydance billionaire baby David Ellison can’t handle that Stephen Colbert is getting millions of views . @Youtube we will cancel our subscription as we did when we dumped @paramountplus.
For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath.
They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction.
So let’s stop the games.
If you want this fight, @RepJamesComer, let’s have it—in public.
You love to talk about transparency. There’s nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on.
We will be there.
The message they are sending is it is totally ok to execute American citizens. You are a member of the secret police and you will face zero consequences for any of your actions. I’m sure this will turn out well.
@charise_lee That appears to be a violent (attempted) car jacking.
Citizens should take appropriate actions: calling 911, ensuring ample multi-viewpoint video, and identification of the perpetrator(s).
ICE should not be doing any of this.
Epstein files are 30+ days overdue.
@PressSec History provides us important perspective:
Nazi women including concentration camp guards and staff were hanged after World War II when convicted of... crimes against humanity. That included propagandists.
DJT is 79, and he won't live forever. There will be trials.
@DHSgov Now that the facts have been established by several contemporaneous videos that clearly show your statement is a lie, when will you retract this and issue a statement that you were wrong?
We need to start calling ICE what it is, and how it is operating.
ICE-IS not making any city safer.
ICE-IS against freedom of speech.
ICE-IS against free expression of different beliefs.
ICE-IS Trump-MAGA's version of the ISIS terrorist organisation.
@WhiteHouse Are we feeling safer?
NO.
Is the economy better?
NO.
Is the rest of the world in shock how rapidly the USA has fallen?
YES.
Will this era be remembered as dark times for the USA?
YES.
RESIGN.
Q: With ICE taking people off the streets with no oversight and absolute impunity, what do you think the chances are that they are also involved in sex trafficking?
Well?
@OccupyDemocrats Q: With ICE taking people off the streets with no oversight and absolute impunity, what do you think the chances are that they are also involved in sex trafficking?
Well?
"If these guys weren't here, none of these people would be here."
Isn't that the truth. DJT's administration is terrorizing their own citizens to justify its own increasingly menacing actions.
Proximate causality. They have created the circumstances.
