I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

This made me weep. Where are our leaders? What is the plan to put an end to this and so many crimes? When are you going to tell us your PLAN @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov @tomperriello.bsky.social or are you just going to dither hoping for a good '28 election result?

Not just impeachable. Impeachment, both pres. and agency heads, is the only option. It's impeachment or nothing. Courts won't stop it. Other tools are impotent. Put them on trial the only way you can. Even if you can't get 2/3, use process as punishment. Make it miserable and costly. It can be done.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

Impeach. Remove, indict, prosecute and imprison FIRST. We let them get away with pardoning Nixon which allowed Republicans to save face and remain in office. That's how we got here.

Anyone think a tall arch loaded with sniper gear and munitions is actually an armory w/ a defensive position built on top of it? Trump/Whitehouse anticipating invasion from hostile ground forces? Like the one he turned loose on the Capitol? Growing paranoia in advance of the next election maybe? 🤨

I will, quite coincidentally, be fasting on Yom Kippur. Something I've not done for almost 40 years. It so happens I have a colonoscopy Monday morning. I will fast AND atone this year. (I usually observe the atonement but not the fast)

Hegseth eliminated the reviews and approvals designed to prevent civilian casualties, to avoid culpability for war crimes, figuring "hey, we thought the [boat / school / whatever] was a legitimate target" would be a viable excuse. This can't be allowed.. He must be criminally prosecuted.

Very little has changed since 1969 except I'm taller than my sisters now and have been for decades. Pretty sure this is a visit to Monticello in Charlottesville. @tjsleakyroof.bsky.social Pretty much same haircut and all :D but my skin is not nearly this smooth and supple any more.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

If you know anyone... Family, friend, ANYONE in Tennessee make sure they are registered to vote BEFORE October 5. And if they're already registered, they should confirm it before that date. And then they MUST cast a ballot on or before Nov 3rd. All hands on deck!

Vote early. In person. Don't risk a mail in ballot or precinct intimidation by ICE or anyone else. Early, in person voting starts September 18th in Virginia. If you can, contact your local party committee and ask if you can volunteer as an election observer.
