I want to make something clear-
I am VERY liberal.
I am NOT a #democrat. I am independent, as I feel both sides have failed me.
I speak out so much against #trump and #maga as they simply represent the opposite of what I want and need from this country, I am #disabled and need my benefits as I heal from a ton of problems before I work again.
It's shameful they seem above the #law and want complete power, and I don't want to live in an #oligarchy like Russia.
So I SPEAK.
The bipartisan letter, signed by 17 lawmakers & organized by Representative Greg Landsman, #Democrat of Ohio, said that “the #ForeignAid freeze has jeopardized, & may ultimately eliminate, our informational support of #Ukraine on this front.”
The #State Dept & the Yale center “had been preserving evidence of #abducted #children from Ukraine it had identified, to be shared w/ #Europol & the govt of Ukraine to secure their return,” the letter says.
We need leadership in the #Senate to meet the moment and #ChuckSchumer is not it. As a lifelong #Democrat I’m calling for Sen Schumer to step down and allow someone else to lead. We need a fighter that understands the threat we are facing.
@alexlunaview
I'm CONSTANTLY horrified & bemused by the same people who screamed "Read the Constitution!" every time a #Democrat was in the WH so CLEARLY never did so themselves.
#TheFoundingFathers SO strongly believed EVERY HUMAN BEING HAS BASIC INALIENABLE RIGHTS, that the right to #DueProcess does NOT apply only to "citizens".
THE ENTIRE REASON for having a prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (#Gitmo) was b/c if the prisoners were on U.S. soil, they'd have a right to a fair & speedy trial.
Fuck #CNN and fuck their #Democrat poll.
#Dems don't run shit.
Why aren't they polling #GOP #Republicans?
During the lead up to #election2024 I remember there being lots of ostensibly #Democrat supporters both here and places like Facebook who were very vocal about finding it hard to support Biden/Harris mostly because they were not being strongly critical over Gaza.
What has happened to those people?
Were they real or were they bots/trolls?
If they were real people, are they happy with the outcome? Are they happy with Trump/Musk in power?
I wish I'd noted the account names so I could check back.
Anyone know what happened to those folk. Are they happy? How did they vote?
As a #Hawaii #Democrat, I am nauseated that one of my senators, #BrianSchatz, joined #Schumer in the Capitulation Caucus. https://www.commondreams.org/news/senator-chuck-schumer?utm_source=Common+Dreams&utm_campaign=18e0e3a772-Top+News%3A+Fri.+3%2F14%2F25&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-3b949b3e19-600541243
If you have a minute, call your #Democrat #senators and tell them you won't contribute another dime to them or the #DNC until #ChuckSchumer steps down or is forced out as senate minority leader. The way he has caved to the MAGA Republicans and the #OrangeFelon is unacceptable!
#Schumer isn't leading anyone, just standing around with his hands in his pockets as America burns.
>> One thing to keep in mind in terms of shutdown or dirty CR is that our courts will shut down if the government shuts down I hope you are all aware of.
Yes, and the courts are already under #fascist control — any doubt about #SCOTUS?
#Democrats need to #fight. #fightBack.
There is going to be #trauma anyway — #Republican-inflicted or #Democrat-inflicted.
"MOVE FAST and BREAK THINGS" because the other side is breaking things faster, and you can't stop them. #GoBallistic.
On Chuck Schumer’s cowardice in advancing the MAGA budget
I just sent the following to Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla (both D-CA Senate). Please consider contacting them as well.
"Chuck Schumer must be removed as the Senate Democratic Leader. We must have a leader with the strength and courage to stand up to Trump and the MAGA GOP. Schumer’s decision to support advancing the Trump budget is shameful and a disgrace to the Democratic party. Listen to AOC. She is the base and the future of the Democratic Party. It’s unfortunate that she’s not in the Senate.”
>> I know that you think that you know better than does anyone else already. My point is that I do not know better than everyone else so am not prepared to assert that I do.
You have a pattern of not comprehending, and then distorting my posts, when I believe my English is fairly correct, fluent, and unambiguous 
I'm just not in a cult where I shut my eyes, ears, and nose 
I've been a lifelong #Democrat supporter, but recoil at their betrayal now.
@heidilifeldman That #Schumer -- arguably the #Democrat with the most potential leverage right now -- totally fails to grasp the situation is disheartening as hell. He needs to go.
Yes. My father was a #conservative #Republican. He died while #Reagan was in the White House. My mother was a #Democrat. It was my dad who took me to political events when I was in high school.
He expected electeds to do their jobs. That is, represent the voters who put them there. This why I can legitimately name things Republicans supported that were actually good for people.
- Exploring cloud seeding to combat drought as an alternative to
rerouting or damming waterways.
- Ethanol in gasoline. The idea was it burned cleaner and would be a way to use agricultural overproduction as well as use waste from food crops.
- Universal Basic Income. Nixon supported UBI, but his crookedness tainted the idea.
In the late 1970s, the #FBI ran an operation called Abscam, targeting corruption. The Republican rep for my dad's district not only turned down the bribe, he reported it to the FBI.
These assclowns are not conservative. Move fast and break shit is the exact opposite of conserving. Redundancy is conservative; efficiency is not.
@virtualbri @palin I’d have a really hard time choosing between Katie and #Kamala if I lived in the Golden State. Right now, it pains me to say, anyone is better than who’s in there now. No, wait a minute, I didn’t mean that, I meant any #Democrat would be better.
