Way long time liberal Democrat. Retired IT professional. Big time fan of Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell. Still love Seinfeld, which I say is a show about everything.

Apparently, Russia just broke the fake energy ceasefire that Trump claimed to have brokered, by striking Kharkiv’s TEC-5 a Combined Heat and Power Plant, the 2nd largest in Ukraine 🇺🇦 using several Banderol Small Cruise Missiles….

Russian bot traffic on the Internet appears to have PLUMMETED following reports of a Ukrainian strike on a Yandex data center. Republicans now panicking that Ukraine’s strikes are disrupting bot operations ahead of the U.S. midterms? The potential political implications are enormous. ~ Meidas Touch

The first time President Obama met with his US Attorneys, he told us, “I appointed you but you don’t serve me. You serve the American people. And I expect you to act with independence & integrity.” None of us ever forgot that.

Putin’s reward for bombing hospitals, schools, apartment buildings, public parks and museums and killing children is to get invited to the G20 Summit by Marco Rubio.

The patriarchy and sexism at the core of Christian nationalism now show up in openly misogynistic ways in our politics. As Christians, we must reject this culture of dehumanization and confront the increasing acceptance of violent hatred for women.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Sure, Donald Trump floated letting Iran wipe out Los Angeles and San Diego, but Kamala had an awkward laugh once, so really it’s impossible to choose.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.
