Turkey is bombing the shit out of the Kurds.
Our President is a lawless monster who only cares about himself and his interests.

The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

This is really evil.
So, Lindsay- what do you think about impeachment now?
Are you going to do anything besides yammer?
So much for Dump’s threats. He was rolled alright – no doubt about it.
Now everyone knows the U.S. cannot be trusted from one administration to another. Ever again. THANKS MAGATS! You must be so proud.
I am not knowledgeable about this treaty – but it sounds really ominous:
He’s trying to pull of the “Open Skies” treaty – apparently another gift to Putin.
It’s horrible. It’s an agreement that allows countries to fly over each others territory without being shot down. Russia wants to get rid of it.

That is very bad news.
God help us all.
Just found this thread on your twitter feed. It’s horrific!!!
Trump and Giuliani have been blackmailing Ukraine since 2016 in cahoots with Manafort.

Diplomats leaking emails to NYT.
I’m looking for the responses today by the Dem Candidates… if you see any could you please add them to thread. This is the only one I can find so far.
It’s possible candidates are doing other things than tweeting today.

This is far from the first time the US has betrayed the Kurds. Kissinger famously did it.
The Intercept: THE U.S. IS NOW BETRAYING THE KURDS FOR THE EIGHTH TIME

I had to shut off MSNBC. I can’t watch them trying to defend Matt Lauer.
Yeah. That’s ridiculous.
Well, this was a chicken I wasn’t expected to come home to roost ….

That link leads to a “protected status.” What does it actually say?
I can’t see their tweets either.
Neither can I.
Thanks for posting the quote. That’s quite something. I’m now expecting Stephen Miller to have the worst case of sudden resignation ever.
(Jeeeesus. These people.)
Oops. Stephen Moore. (Whatever. Right?)

Bit of horn-tooting here: I’ve been saying for years we have to define free speech correctly if we want democracy to survive. Now that it’s in the ICU, lots of people are waking up to that fact.
Speech is communication. But we’ve let words be used as weapons way too often. We’ve let people bring assault rifles to the marketplace of ideas. Not too surprisingly, it’s working out badly.
And it’s unnecessary. In most cases, it’s not that hard to distinguish the attempt to communicate an idea from trying to bamboozle people.
Admittedly, if we shut a lot of the latter down, it would cut into Big Tech’s profits.
Anybody having the uncomfortable feeling that Trump is going to burn down the planet before he is through?
I feel it stronger every day now.
I try to fight that feeling everyvtime I wake up to the latest news from whatever he’s done …
And when trying to sleep at night. I keep having bad dreams and wake up drained.
Yes Pat, it is why I can’t read or watch any news for the past several weeks. I spend a few minutes on Twitter and want to vomit. Shutting down and out of everything is my only way now to be able to function.
I retweeted some cartoons on my twitter if ya need any for later on!!!
Putin’s got that self-satisfied smirk about his puppet. Trump’s patting Putin on the arm, but Putin knows who’s boss and it ain’t Donald.

Damn. It’s not real.

There’s an argument to be made there for that … no idea who in our government would make it or follow through with it
That’s the problem, isn’t it?
Agent Orange doesn’t know or care. He talked to Putin without adult supervision at the G20, got his marching orders, and here we are.
Never forget that hundreds of thousands of new refugees streaming toward Europe is *also* Putin’s agenda. Some people always get resentful, so the countries get destabilized, which increases extremism, which causes more destabilization, etc., etc.
Putin is plenty smart enough to see the downstream consequences, and he’s all for it.
Man oh man, did the US ever make a giant vast enormous miscalculation supporting Yeltsin instead of Gorbachev. Sure, the USSR became weak and fell apart. But so did everybody else.
Just saw the bit about the Dump saying he doesn’t care about tens of thousands of escaped Isis-ees because they’re all going to Europe.
I feel like shouting, “What did I just say a second ago?”
The other thing I just said a while ago, “God help us all.”
Yeah. Maybe he wants terrorists attacks as a reason to never leave office. I’m beginning to think that might be about an right assessment given his love of conspiracies.
Never did understood why the US didn’t support Gorbachev.
Appalling. WTF did he think would happen? He believes dictators instead of US foreign service and intelligence professionals.
Ergodan laughs at Trump telling him “bad idea.”

Just a note about we were told about this…
Our rightful President!
And no one then did anything except be shocked. I imagine there are dozens of other corruption cases we don’t yet know about.
yeah but we got whistle blowers now like crazy … look at the new one today at the OMB
