The irony of people using Hanukkah to call for ceasefire or peace is not lost on people who know the history of the holiday.

The central issue here is that Ken Paxton and Republicans everywhere want to force this woman to carry a nonviable pregnancy that threatens her fertility and her life as a punishment. There's is literally no other reason to do this. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/08/texas-abortion-lawsuit-ken-paxton/

You don't have to like Biden or Dems, you just have to vote blue to defend democracy against fascism or you'll never vote again.

@maxkennerly

⬆️ I don't know where you get the idea that MOST of the #Democratic leadership believes the highest priority right now is "providing political cover to #Netanyahu's campaign to raze #Gaza."

Do you have any sources to back up your claim?

Fuck Ken Paxton.

Put him in jail already - he was indicted 8 years ago on felony fraud charges.

Yeah, but Hunter Biden. I mean I know Republicans are insane, hateful cultists who will bring about an end to democracy and destroy America, but... Hunter Biden.

The atmosphere was full of anticipation.

Dozens of Ukrainians have come to this festive event, and among them, you can hear a lot of English from the foreigners scattered throughout the crowd.

Everyone has their cameras ready to capture the moment of the grand opening.

Kate Cox "needs an abortion." Ken Paxton will do anything to stop her.

I'm surprised that so many people don't know this.

Through the merger of right wing politics, white evangelical christianity, dark money, and voter suppression, the U.S. is haplessly flailing its way toward a theocratic takeover of the U.S. Government. The extremist right is so good at this insider threat mode and the center & left are largely defenseless against it. They seem afraid to play when their rules have been discarded. Christianity is today precisely the #natsec threat that its adherents tried to label Islam with some 20 years ago.

That this guy gets to decide whether you can get a potentially life saving abortion is the most ridiculous and unreasonable thing I’ve ever heard.

Don't forget these warriors:

Unit 585- composed mainly of Israeli Arabs☪️ 🇮🇱

#Theists:
“#God is beyond our comprehension; he works in mysterious ways." Then how can you claim to know what he wants?

Not only is the United States war budget larger than the next 10 countries COMBINED — not only is the US military the largest institutional emitter of greenhouse gas POLLUTION in the history of the world — but the Pentagon cannot even properly account for all its bloated spending!
______________________________

The Pentagon just failed its audit — again. For the sixth time in a row, the agency that accounts for half the money Congress approves each year can’t figure out what it did with all that money.

The Pentagon has *never* passed an audit. Until 2018, it had never even completed one.

No other federal agency could get away with this. There would be congressional hearings. There would be public outrage.

Cheating and proud enough of it that Casey spills the #desantis plans

UPDATE: see Casey’s "clarification" in comments below. 😬

Least we forget. The grift is alive and Russian money is still flowing, influencing and corrupting - little mike johnson absolutely loves working for his boss Putin.
