A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill 1/3

Fact.....

If Christian Nationalist parents are allowed to have their kids opt-out of any books that dare mention anyone gay, then all the other parents should be allowed to let their kids opt-out from the Ten Commandments.

Religion has become more about monitoring and judging other people than it is about being a decent person yourself.

Are people paying attention? Democratic lawmakers are being assainated The constitution is being hammered at Jailing perceived political enemies Masked bounty hunter posing as government agents Building concentration camps Due Process is Dead The Flame is smoking What else is on the list?

Zohran Mamdani won because people are sick of: 1. Calculate-and-play-it-safe Democrats; 2. Christian Nationalism; 3. Republican xenophobia and their ICE Gestapo; 4. MAGA’s islamophobia; and 5. Politicians who talk about culture wars instead of the issues that affect ordinary people.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

I mean she’s right. Where’s the lie?

I'm still not over yesterday's obscene SCOTUS decision that our government can deport people to prisons in countries they're not from. How is anyone walking around going about their day?

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

no accidents

Five things to remember about war:

Congress died the moment they allowed 147 insurrectionists to remain in office instead of expelling them and charging them with sedition. That’s just my opinion.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

A president bombing a foreign country without congressional approval is ILLEGAL.

The war in Iran is illegal under the UN Charter, under War Powers Act, and didn't even comply with National Security Act.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

Take note.

Caturday feels.

You have to fundamentally realise what is really going on in America. Democracy doesn’t work for the wealthy. They want to rule. Democracy doesn’t allow that. So destroy democracy by controlling what people see and hear. Particularly effective for non critical thinkers.

Politics isn't that hard. When you evaluate what a government is doing ask yourself, "how would I feel about this if the party I don't like was doing it?" If the answer is "pissed off" then regardless of the party doing it, speak up. "It's okay if my team is doing it." is gross. Stop that.

I was trying to stick to Canadian news today and some good vibes but this is too funny not to share. 😂😅🤣 🌮Taco In Chief 🌮 swings and misses. He’s definitely really bad at golfing 🤣🤣🤣
