Has STATE ATTORNEY Alvin Bragg ever *had* access to National Security secrets?

They (MAGAts) DON’T BELIEVE IT when they’re told about it. It’s going to have to happen to them personally for them to wake up. By then it might be too late. Are we great again?

Senator, if you’re too old and weak to fight this admins fascist plans, we totally understand. You don’t have to resign completely, just step back as min ldr and let someone else take the reins. Seems like almost anyone would do a better job of maintaining party unity.

Is it a coincidence that both assholes being quoted are Dicks?

Complete and utter boycott. Let him talk to his simps while you hold an event of your own with the press. That would have been cool.

Chauvin was sentenced in federal court of violating George Floyd’s civil rights. Trump COULD pardon him on that, but there’s still the matter of his murder conviction in Minnesota State Court. He’s not going anywhere.

You seem to be blocked on Meta sites… might want to look into that.

No “appointees in the foreign policy sphere”?? Are you KIDDING ME?? No more confirmations of fucking ANYONE! Pull the E-brake, stop ALL business in congress until there’s an end to this bullshit! Fuck!!!

I would give my left foot for just one of those reporters calling him out on his bullshit to his face. “Mr President, you’re aware that you sound incredibly stupid right now, aren’t you?”, “Mr President, you are so full of shit I can smell it from here”. Just ONE reporter to call bullshit. ONE! One?

Murray is my Senator and I LOVE that she’s getting down and dirty with these fascist fucks! Nicely done, Patty! Keep it up!

Throw yourself on the gears, Senator. This country needs FIGHTERS, not talkers. No cooperation with R’s/MAGAts!

Your job now, Senator, is to resist trump and maga at every turn. No bipartisanship, no compromises. You throw your body on the gears.

Even malicious compliance is still compliance. Just a thought.

Nice job, Senator. Now, as your constituent, I want to hear your name ring out… loud! I want to hear what you’re doing EVERYDAY to gum up the trump machine. Nothing else is acceptable, and primaries exist for a reason.

In the meantime, there’s a proposed Meta/Facebook blackout for 1/20-1/26. Log out and leave it alone for a week. Let Zuck know what we think. It’s small in the grand scheme, but it’s something.

Is it alright if I take this moment to express my appreciation for your work writing “We wish to inform you…”? Its effect on me was transformative. I have given away many copies since I first read it in 2005. No other piece of media has had a greater impact on my psyche and outlook. Thank you, sir.

I hope it comes back. It may have been a dance trend app upon arrival, but it became a tool for the masses. Not just for celebrities, politicians or they hollowed out legacy media. For everyday people.

You may not have liked TikTok, or even used it, but its loss is being felt by more than half of your fellow citizens, while you sit by and say “meh” to the government and their corporate overlords making arbitrary and shady decisions about what we can say and consume. So me🧵

Vital channel of communication and commerce that the tech bros can’t even halfway imitate. Whole communities were silenced because the billionaires weren’t making ALL the money. While congresspeople who voted yea are buying Meta stock and daydreaming about what they’ll do with all their new dough 🧵

Political movements have easily and firmly taken root. Nationwide discussions on current events and thoughtful insights about a multitude of topics occur daily. This wasn’t “just another app”, this was a direct threat to Musk, Meta and MAGA. This ban is absolutely an attempt to stamp out a🧵

170 MILLION Americans are on TikTok. Tens (hundreds?) of thousands of Americans earn their living there. There are better communities and channels of communication than anywhere else. But Zuck and Musk are salty about it, so TikTok “needs to get banned”. Horseshit.

Hahahaha!!! You think FB and Twitter haven’t been used to dismantle democracy?

That’s good news, Senator, it really is… think we could have been more forceful about it, sooner, and louder. May have saved thousands of Gazan citizens lives (and maybe even saved us from another four years of MAGA). Just a thought.

This may be one of the most important films of the past few years. Utterly compelling, expertly crafted, it’s a vision of a future we can see from here. 10/10 would recommend.

I think two things can be true at the same time. This is Bannon’s “flood the zone with shit” strategy.

Hey Glenn? Why the quotation marks around the word terrorism. Terrorism is exactly what it was.
