They’re not banning books because they’re dangerous—They’re banning them because they expose the truth. 📚 Erased tells the history they tried to bury—& now they’re coming for it. If it’s “too dangerous to teach,” you need to read it. ⚠️Read it before they ban it for good: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

🔥 DAMN! — @benniegthompson to @kristinoem: “I’m glad you found time among your many photo ops and costume changes to testify.”

"In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration." ultimateclassicrock.com/bruce-spring...

hundreds of thousands of citizens simultaneously protesting- CNN MSNBC Huffpost- zip. So much for the liberal media. "In February more than 2,085 protests took place nationwide, [but] there has been less frequent media coverage of protests" #handsoff www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I rarely agree with T-Rump but the penguins have been very unfair to us. Very unfair.

I would just like to say again that Canada is a GODDAMN DELIGHT as a neighbor and we should wake up every day and be grateful that our longest border with such a gem

This is an interesting development ….

The royal prerogative is a monarchist concept which was deliberately repudiated by the Constitution, a fact discussed and elaborated at some length at the convention and in the ratification debates.

I’ve been calling them that for a minute.

You don’t cross the Jesuits. They’ll literally argue you to hell and back. #fafo #nonazis #resist

Hi, I'm God. I categorically reject Donold's request for Me to 'bless America.' I will not be doing that until he is long gone. Fuck you, Donold.

The plot thickens: "Defense Department’s inspector general had opened a probe of the matter sometime during 2024. The Air Force and the Pentagon Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security also launched reviews in November." #itsacoup #nonazis #politics #musk #savedemocracy

"The comments also highlight how Musk’s allies are treating the federal government as a private company that needs to cut costs to please shareholders." The gov't IT depts have told DOGE what they want to do is illegal. So any later "we didn't know" is BS. #muskcoup #nogaslighting #savedemocracy

He got rolled. #trumptarriffs #resists #nogaslighting

Stop asking "Where are the Democrats?" The real question is "Where are the Republicans?!" as Musk illegally acquires personal info - including bank account info - on tens of millions of Americans. Why aren't they being held accountable for letting this happen? #itsacoup #resist

well, the founders’ nightmare of a foreign born subversive with no inherent loyalty to america grabbing power now looks very relevant. however they didn’t predict he would be a dope fiend too

You know, if a small percentage of the US Electorate were just fine with a woman President, I'd be sitting here on a Saturday morning, enjoying my coffee, and not Doom Scrolling wondering what on earth is going on

Tennessee is a bellwether. We need to stop this. Now.

Why is that not the headline on every news channel @maddow.msnbc.com

You want to know how a democracy dies? It starts with locking out the people who know how to make it work. This isn’t a glitch—it’s a calculated attack on the foundations of government 🤬🖕🏼🤬🖕🏼🤬🖕🏼🤬🖕🏼🤬🖕🏼 #DemocracyNotDictatorship

@thepeskyfly.bsky.social / this is concerning. Have you heard anything?

The winner of the 2024 election was apathy. (Assuming these stats are correct.) #notamandate #resist

"This is something new: A president shutting down his own government, just to see what would happen. Now he knows."

We need to get louder, and Louder, AND LOUDER. @aoc.bsky.social - call for a national strike. We need tens of millions in the streets, coast-to-coast. #resist

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

"the Gospel of Jesus … looks very different from the gospel of Trump...An apple tree doesn’t need a sign to tell you what it is. If it isn’t like Jesus, it isn’t Christianity." Bishop Budde rattled them. #teambudde

If Steve Bannon thinks you are "malign influence who should go back to the country of '[your] birth" - damn. You really are a Nazi piece of trash.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Food for thought.
