We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Local media reporting that the victims appear to be two Democratic state lawmakers and a spouse. No word on injuries. This is really, really dark news to wake up to.

To be clear, to the people who used to profess they were the small government conservatives- Medical boards determined ethics and best practices. Sports? Tournaments and leagues determined eligibility of Trans athletes. School boards determined curriculum, your community chose books.

How should we as a country address declining faculties in politicians? I know there's a push for age and term limits, but i have an idea- A credentialing exam. We do this for teachers (praxis) and even the postal workers take a civil servants exam. You want to run for legislatures?

First, I think Biden should have stepped away and let Harris drive in 23. I thought this at the time. I think it would have likely helped. But, as we may recall, things were popping at that time and stability of leadership likely would have argued for him staying the course.

I suspect there's a serious issue with the neurodivergent:neuro typical conversation. Normal, is what is not disruptive to the systems built. Even if, the stats showed this was 50:50 distributed? What works for those who wanted to stagnate would be those prone to accept the systems they are

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

He feels entitled. He feels entitled to that fancy, gaudy gift from Qatar. Like he felt entitled to cameos, in home alone. He felt entitled to his reality show, and ratings. 1/7

DOGE IS HACKING THE US GOVERNMENT—building a ‘master database’ of our sensitive info from the IRS, Social Security, HHS & voter rolls. No oversight. No safeguards. Just a surveillance machine waiting to be weaponized. They claim it’s about “efficiency” and tracking immigrants. It’s about control.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Here's your conspiracy theory... (Since they're so freaking popular.) The weather events will continue to get magnified. Because of climate change. And the corporations who are responsible? Will continue to push that "weather modification narrative " to avoid culpability and consequences.

Rubio’s position seems to be: - We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us. - Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges. - After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.

Yes it's a long form video. Yes it's worth the time. #taxwealthnotwork Is a great messaging strategy. We need to work towards this here in the US. And we need to be very aware of the messaging reasons from the other side.
