Apparently, the story of the woman who knocked down a drone with a jar of veggies is true. Her name is Olena, and contrary to popular belief, it was NOT a jar of pickles, but pickled tomatoes and plums, that she threw at it. She and her husband then went to pick up the shards.

Trauma porn is not helpful to marginalized communities, and some want to profit off of it. Letโs do the right thing and hold those in power accountable for their egregious actions whenever, wherever and whoever is doing it.

Dems should NOT cut a deal with McCarthy. Dems have more leverage than he does, and the fact that 19 to 20 Republicans oppose McCarthy is proof positive of his weak position.
Hold the line, and keep voting for Jeffries.
For the folks yelling โDems should cut a deal with McCarthy!โ Please tell me: How can House Democrats assure that McCarthy, if elected, will hold up his end of the bargain??
A significant # of R members have given him the proverbial finger for 48 hrs. He doesnโt have control!

The President is well within his authority to ensure that not just domestic, but international, law is upheld.
Freedom of navigation is a right enjoyed by ALL nations in the world, and Houthis attacking their shipping is a violation of that right.

Antisemitism.

And as far as wanting someone younger, fortunately, Vice President, Kamala Devi Harris exists.
@dpas2009
if biden gets re-elected he will be 85-86 after his term, id much rather a younger president. age isnโt terrible but someone in their 80s like biden has some cognitive issues. Biden has done his part and will probably continue to do his part that does not mean i have to love him

There's nothing to contextualize about forced internment of Asian Americans and turning back Jewish people escaping the Nazis based on nothing more than racist and antisemitic intent, respectively. It is wrong, regardless of the time period, and it IS that simple.

Voting is the single greatest thing anyone can do to ensure that we still have a democracy. Voting Democratic in every election is the key to progress.
To quote President Obama: Don't boo, VOTE!
Liberals who don't show up to vote and then complain about Democratic leadership is like blaming your neighbor for having nothing to eat because you chose not to buy food.

I agree. Most people want someone who has done and who will do the work on their behalf to better their lives and progress the country forward. No one gets 100% of what they want in politics, but as long as something meaningful gets done, then that is what counts.
The key to candidates winning is 2022 is being a Biden Harris Democrat. I donโt care what polling says about Biden, Dem voters want someone who can get things done in Congress and will work. Prove you can do the work.
The whole outside of the establishment talk is foolishness.

I strongly and fully condemn BOTH antisemitism AND Islamophobia in the U.S. and the world writ large. Both Jews and Muslims deserve to live peacefully and prosperously without fear of terror or hatred seeking to divide both communities.
I am pro-peace and anti-terror.
PERIOD.
Hey folks? One can call out Islamaphobia without dismissing antisemitism and vice versa. Both are a huge issue in US. Im really sickened to see some Jews upset Biden is calling out Islamaphobia AS WELL as antisemitism. Marginalized groups all need protection

The irony of a Republican denying that slavery was the cause of the Civil War while the Republican Party was formed to fight against expanding slavery.
TRULY A DOWNFALL, INDEED.
This shows that Nikki Hayley is not ready for prime time. It also demonstrates her unfitness for the presidency, Moreover it illustrates how far gone the GOP has devolved - indeed now Republicans from the party of Lincoln are too afraid to say the word โslavery. โ
