K. L. Schneider (the constitution is antifascist)

Zoning maps are moral documents.

This is the man who desecrated a military cemetery that is the final resting place of more than 1100 US service members, by taking VIP snorkeling outing around the wreckage of the USS Arizona. May he rot in Hell. But first, he needs to be fired.

The catalogue in this piece is worth reading in sequence. Charles Kushner in Paris: convicted felon, pardoned, father of Trump's son-in-law. Refused two French government summons - a standard diplomatic protocol. France banned him from meeting any government official. Ruth Ben-Ghiat: he "was put there as a (pardoned) felon to symbolize the death of democratic notions of diplomacy." Tom Rose in Warsaw: cut off communications with the speaker of the Polish Parliament because the speaker said Trump didn't deserve a Nobel Prize. Polish Prime Minister Tusk: "allies should respect, not lecture, each other." Mike Huckabee in Jerusalem: told Tucker Carlson on television that it would "be fine if they took it all" - meaning Israel taking control of the entire Middle East from the Nile to the Euphrates. He later called it "hyperbolic." The region lit up with fury. The US embassy issued a cleanup statement. Matthew Whitaker at NATO: no foreign policy experience. Kimberly Guilfoyle in Athens. Herschel Walker in the Bahamas. The piece's closing: General Caine reportedly expressed concern about going to war with Iran while the country's alliances are not in order. He may have been thinking about "the crew of bumblers and hangers-on" sent to represent America around the world.

It's a critique of every US Administration going back to 1993. Richard Nixon is the only President who actually understood the importance of Ukraine. See his 1994 letter to President Clinton.

@er227022738 @AdamKinzinger Was genuinely curious—news to me. But not surprising.

@leaferi @AdamKinzinger Fuck off

They’re literally helping Russia on purpose

You know President Trump could have ended Ukraine war by now with how bad Russias economy has been. All Trump had to do was put max pressure on Russia and its allies constantly adding more and more. This would have saved countless innocent lives. Instead President Trump has stopped weapons and aid to Ukraine in turn helping Putin and Russia. Trump has refused to put any real pressure on Putin his whole term. Matter of fact Trump has lifted sanctions on Russia again aiding Russia who is our enemy. This shows the character and immoral attitude of our current adminstration. Whats also insane about all this is this is the behavior of the man who literally bragged his whole campaign about ending the war in 24 hours. Instead Trump verbally attacks Ukraine wanting them to give in on concessions. Ukraine is our ally btw. Trump then compliments and talks kindly of our enemy Russia. Whats even more disturbing the morons know only way to end the war is getting Putin and Russia to stop. Pressuring Ukraine does nothing to end the war which makes all this even more appalling. Mr. President and staff just so you know Russia is and has been our enemy. Ukraine is our ally. You all must not have gotten the memo. PASS H.R. 2913 SANCTION RUSSIA AND ITS ALLIES NOW!! PLEASE REPOST

@AdamKinzinger This Russia

@AdamKinzinger 💯. Truth is staring us in the face. #TrumpRussiaFascism

@er227022738 @AdamKinzinger Is that so?

@AdamKinzinger Kegsbreath's personal phone number was found on some interesting phones.

@AdamKinzinger @LisaOKC And crippling US military preparedness.

I wasn’t aware of this story when first posted in 2017 by a ‘famous Saudi whistleblower.’ Someone thought it interesting enough to immediately email Epstein about it. Have to say, it wouldn’t surprise me to have it confirmed that Trump took a $1 Billion bribe in cash from MBS.

@ManiamAkash Yes.

At some point the US will have to reckon with the fact they horribly mistreated an ally they actually needed to learn from.

Good lord. Kevin O'Leary is despicable. "Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—former MTV The Real World cast member and current top regulator of America’s airline and automotive industries—just spent seven months crisscrossing the country with his wife, Fox and Friends co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy, and their nine children. He was filming a five-part YouTube docuseries called “The Great American Road Trip.” Duffy described it “wholesome,” “patriotic” and a “civic experience,” while Fox News put its best gloss on the boondoggle. We’re all old enough to remember the right-wing media machine blasting former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for taking paternity leave to be with his premature infant twins. The hypocrisy wasn’t the worst of it. There’s also the headspinning corporate sponsorship. The trip was funded by Toyota, United Airlines, Boeing and Shell—all regulated by Duffy’s own department. The nonprofit behind the production is run by a former lobbyist for the US Travel Association who previously worked in government relations at General Motors. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a complaint with the DOT Inspector General this week, alleging the arrangement may have violated federal gift and travel rules, which bar executive branch officers from accepting anything of value from entities their agency oversees. Then there’s the tone deaf timing. While Duffy filmed his family filling up their car’s gas tank on the public dime, TSA agents went without paychecks. United Airlines, one of the sponsors, has since raised checked baggage fees and warned of a 20 percent spike in summer fares. Duffy dismissed his critics as “the radical, miserable left.” But really, it’s everyone who isn’t in the MAGA cult."

Over 10 yrs ago my asthma inhaler went generic and became cheap. But the govt said the propellant was bad for the environment, mandated a new type, and I was back to buying branded for $$$$. Recently that new type went generic as well. Cheap again! Yay! Except now the govt says this propellant is *also* unsafe, and will be banning it, forcing everyone to buy a (patented of course) newer more expensive type yet again. Funny how the timing works that drugs become “unsafe/environmentally bad” juuuust as the pharmaceutical patents run out. Very curious, that.

From the article: Hack Albertson, a Marine veteran, is part of a select group from the Paralyzed Veterans of America trained to dive on the Arizona annually to check on the condition of the wreck. He said it was inappropriate for Patel and other political figures to snorkel or dive at the memorial. “It’s like having a bachelor party at a church. It’s hallowed ground,” he said. “It needs to be treated with the solemnity it deserves.” apnews.com/article/fbi-ka…

@RedPencilScript @OversightDems 1. News broke of Bannon & British right-wing founder of the Dignitatis Humanae Institute turning medieval Trisulti monastery into an academy for nationalist & identitarian populism. 2. It was the day after 3 laptops were dropped at a repair shop by man claiming to be Hunter Biden

There was/is a Dropbox account. When I tried to log in it said I need an invite for access. It still exists. @OversightDems #epsteinfiles

Kristof's piece was rigorous & human. It did not break news. Sexual torture of Palestinian detainees has been extensively documented. Israeli authorities know it bc they regularly receive complaints from @stoptorture_il -and close them wo concrete action stoptorture.org.il/wp-content/upl…

@SpencerHakimian @PrezLives2022 Amazing how much hate free speech though.

🚨WOW A Paid MAGA Influencer just DM’d me saying if I keep making jokes about Trump and little girls on my Instagram, they’re going to call my employer. Problem is. I own all the 6 companies I work for. Go ahead and call them!

@pamalamalamala2 @Ben_Inskeep We know the billions are diverting through defense dollar spending and Ai many things but weaponry too…. Forward operating bases of that kind, also? It’s not like national sovereignty is a barrier or a concern and with this honeypot of a regime in power??

@Ben_Inskeep Why are there so many data centers being built in the US? The US is quickly becoming a #PoliceState with #CitizenSurveillance being paid for with resources humans need to live and subsidized with YOUR taxpayer dollars. Tell Congress to pass AI moratorium act. #DontDieForAI

Amazon is asking permission to destroy 5 acres of wetlands and nearly 1 mile of streams as part of its resubmitted proposal to add 14 data center buildings at a third site at its sprawling New Carlisle, IN campus. Public comment is due June 12.

In court, this administration argued that veterans have the choice to give up their hard-earned benefits in exchange for their First Amendment rights. That’s un-American.
