Who’s gonna protect the VBM Voting rights for deployed troops. Especially those in the Middle East corridor! In the past Trump has implied troops don’t need to vote. But is the Postmaster gonna really deny veterans a voice? How low the Repubs go! Deployed vets deserve to be heard most of all!

Lots of people hate cyclists. But here in the US, that translates to violence again and again towards cyclists. It's a collective psychological disorder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... ‘Our hearts are crushed’: Hannah Rapp’s violent death sparks outpouring of grief

Such an odd editorial choice to make light of the Iran War right now. Truth be told, the NYT makes one odd choice after another in the last several years.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

The NYT has crafted a lengthy investigation into Epstein's entire 'career' path. From twisting relationships during his time at Bear Sterns to moving up the elitist ladder until he absconded with enough wealth to build his pedo nirvana. My question to the NYT is simple. Will it get published?

Is the US lost? Maybe. The US has clearly let money influence law to the extent this horrendous and socially damaging conduct is allowed to exist unchecked. It's the kind of behavior that ruins communities. Why is it legal? Are we so enamoured by capitalism that we are blind to its shortcomings?
