Walz: When did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? Government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest.

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

I have to assume that Kristi Noem had $3,000 in cash because she had just sold children to a human trafficking ring, and it would have been $10,000 but she had just made a drop for some Fentanyl that she was on her way to pick up.

"We're not evil, we're incompetent"* is one hell of a defense. *They're both.

The Harvard debacle shows once again that these people are not only pathetic and incompetent liars, but also that they are totally beatable

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

RFK Jr. is going to burn in Hell for what he said this week about autistic children. I mean, he was already going, but now we are building yet another special place in Hell just for him.

I say the words knowing they don’t understand all of them, but it doesn’t matter because saying the words is the most important part.

The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal’s ‘Protect The Dolls’ T-shirt raises tens of thousands for trans charity #TLOU

It’s time, isn’t it?! 👇 Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien." Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway. This is Fascism.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Dear World Leaders, If ANY of you see this: DO NOT SEND YOUR COUNTRY TO OUR OLYMPICS! You may find some of your athletes have gone missing. Just don't do it. America is not a safe place for anyone who isn't white.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

God wept.

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

The USA is so fucked.

This is what happens when people speak up.

Timeline cleanse 🌞

Social Security. That's when the dam breaks. The right-wing in America is so extreme, so zealous, so morally bankrupt and greedy that they'll gut SS and Medicaid even though they know it'll destroy their base. People won't truly wake up until those checks don't come. A lot of pain, sadly.

Vaccines save lives

Moskowitz: As far as Pam Bondi is concerned—you know, don’t touch a Tesla. Why? Are the Epstein files in the Tesla?

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

IS AMERICA GREAT AGAIN YET????

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Gosh

As an Australian watching the US from the outside I think that all social media will be policed or shut down before too long. I urge all in the resistance to make other arrangements, to protest sooner rather than later. Set up other means of communication while you still can.

Donald and Ivana Trump in Moscow, 1987.

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

WHO DID THIS!

Happy Birthday to the leader of the free world. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Gavin Newsom is a straight up guy.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman
