100% agree on the damage. Disagree it will take that long to repair. We can repair most of it in a year or 2. Regaining the trust will take longer though.

If only Congress had the power of the purse.

California: vote!

I gotta tip my hat to Apple for relentlessly boasting it has new colors for its iPhone, as if that is a reason to upgrade to a new $1,500 device.

Fair point

What is #TeslaTakedown and why do we do it?
The richest man in the world is a White Christian Nationalist who actively subverts our democracy for his own corrupt delusions. #musk #gibney

For me it’s as simple as this.

Democrats are so scared, so resistant, to call for Trump's immediate impeachment - because they don't want to upset anything to do with the upcoming midterm election.

But it is this very fearfulness by which Democrats have lost the faith of the American people long ago.

ICE has been going hard in CA for sure. And for sure, Trump is going to try to steal the midterms. But not by suppression. He'll simply round up the ballots (illegally), refuse to certify, etc. PS - Becerra not the governor... yet. I sure hope he's a fighter. He doesn't seem like one....

In March 2001, both Buddhas of Bamiyan were destroyed by the Taliban following an order given on February 26, 2001, by Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar, to destroy all the statues in Afghanistan "so no one can worship or respect them in the future".

Yes, there is a surge in CA. But no - i do not attribute machiavellian planning with it. Suppress the vote? In a deep blue state? That would be an arguable claim in a purple state. No,this is more just a result of the 75 billion given to ICE. Honestly, ICE never stopped in CA.It's been bad all year

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.

I would go public every day with my hair on fire that our country is being destroyed by a corrupt tyrant. I would publicly lobby the House to invoke Rule IX and file impeachment. What would you expect a senator to do if an authoritarian was making a naked grab to destroy the Republic?Tweet n sleep?

Hmmm... so... are you going to do anything about it besides tweet?
