Just look at #JoniErnst, an entitled, rich, white politician coldly telling the crowd it's okay to end health coverage for millions, starve families, and kill people to fund #TaxCuts for her obscenely-rich donors. She shows utter contempt for her constituents. #CampaignFinanceReform #Resist

Apparently my word of the day is "misapprehension". I think it captures the pathos of this moment, with the right combination of disbelief, ignorance, and willful denial. #Resist

Congratulations! You can safely set aside any misapprehension you may have had as to whether the United States is being run by a #Fascist regime. Nativist. Natalist. Racist. Corrupt. Lawless. This checks all the boxes. How can people not see this?! #Resist www.thehandbasket.co/p/state-depa...

Funny.. I was under the misapprehension that courts were supposed to act to prevent irreparable harm to the plaintiffs. Getting deported seems like irreparable harm to me. #ThisIsJustWrong #Resist www.themirror.com/news/politic...

It's too bad I didn't catch the #TACO trend yesterday, when my local shop had their weekly special on al pastor tacos. With all these taco references, I predict a spike in Mexican food sales this week. #Resist

#BLOTUS is a weak, thin-skinned, man-child who can't handle hurt feelings. Man up or get out of the game! You don't control the zeitgeist, and you brought this on yourself. Maybe, if you weren't so stupid and destructive, you wouldn't have earned the #TACO moniker. #Resist #IdiotInChief

Hey, #TeslaTakedown! #Elon has so many unsold #Cybertrucks, his minions have no place to put them. BWAHAHA! Keep it up! #Resist www.carscoops.com/2025/05/detr...

The pressure is on #ICE to accelerate #deportations and #renditions. #BLOTUS knows he's failing, and time is running out. The courts are blocking him at every turn. If you think they were lawless before, just wait. A predator is most dangerous when cornered. #Resist #Justice

We're the Missouri Supreme Court. We dictate morality here. We determine who has rights, even if it overrides the will of the people. Because the voters clearly don't know what is right for themselves! And women can't be trusted to make such an important decision on their own. #Shame #Resist

We're edging closer to the inevitable confrontation with the courts. At some point, #BLOTUS will run out of room to dance, and outright defy an order. I so wish the wheels of #justice would keep pace with the challenges, but #SCOTUS keeps avoiding and delaying to buy him time. #shame #resist

I'm not a big #CBS supporter these days, but Scott Pelley is clearly speaking the absolute truth. #MAGA hates it when you call them out, so it's imperative that we do, every chance we get. #Resist #TruthToPower www.thedailybeast.com/maga-erupts-...

The pardon power was granted by our founders to rectify injustices. Now, it's used to normalize corruption, and achieve cynical, politically expedient goals. #ThisIsJustWrong #Resist #Shame abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

Compare Bruce's appreciation of the sacrifice made by veterans and their families, with the incoherent, disrespectful, narcissistic ramblings of the #DraftDodgerinChief at #WestPoint. He calls them "suckers" for dying while defending the American values he spits on everyday. #Resist #Shame

I love how the #NYT calls corruption "monetization". I think they meant to say, "The Trump Administration is the Most Corrupt In American History" FTFY. #Resist As Trumps Monetize Presidency, Profits Outstrip Protests www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/u...

If you want to know what this administration is all about, just watch the look of horror on Karoline Leavitt's face as she gesticulates wildly to get the black man away from her. #Racism #Resist www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopl...

The Fascists are attacking universities. They want to force Harvard to capitulate to the regime. The White House actually said they had turned “their once-great institution into a hot-bed of anti-American, anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist agitators". Sounds like a dictator to me. Dark times. #Resist

I never expected the Federal government would be so evil, stupid, greedy, and cruel. The GOP is unconcerned about the harm it is doing to the future of the country, and the well-being of its people. They think they are insulated from consequences. We will change that. #Resist #TCITP #accountability

#TeslaTakedown is doing its part to further unhinge #Elon! That's a cause I can get behind! Reporting for duty! #Resist www.thedailybeast.com/elon-musk-la...

This is a very dark day for America, but we will not capitulate. The power ultimately rests with the people. Never forget that. #Resist

Can these provisions possibly pass Constitutional muster?! Call your Congressional representative and tell all your friends and family.

How GOP elected officials can screw over millions of their constituents by cutting essential services to fund a tax cut for the incredibly wealthy is completely beyond me. It's heartbreaking. I wish I had any confidence there was a bulwark to stop this in the Senate. #Resist #ThisIsJustWrong

#Moody's downgrade of America's credit rating will make the economic consequences of the incredibly destructive and irresponsible #GOPbudget so much worse. It amplifies their utter disregard for the welfare of the citizens they purport to represent. #Resist #SaveMedicaid

It's as if they want people to die unnecessarily. I can't wait to put the clowns in prison. What a clusterfuck! #Resist #COVID #MAHA F.D.A. Poised to Restrict Access to Covid Vaccines www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/h...

Did you know the latest GOP budget reconciliation bill curtails the court's ability to enforce contempt proceedings? They added it at midnight on Sunday, so no one would notice. I have to wonder what other gems are hidden within. Thanks #MuellerSheWrote! #StopTheGrift #evil #Resist #SaveMedicare

Hey, #Lyndhurst #TeslaTakedown you made the #RachelMaddow show! You're famous!💪 Can I get your autograph? #Resist

#BLOTUS is using the #Springsteen/ #Swift stupidity to distract everyone from the GOP #budget, a grift of colossal proportions, the greatest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich in American history. Don't let them distract you. #Resist www.alternet.org/trump-econom...

What a fantastic idea!

Up is down. A lie is truth. It's so utterly Orwellian. And most Americans are not paying any attention. They have no idea what's going on. Literally. No idea. It's terrifying. #Resist #EconomicJustice

Those pesky body parts impeding blunt objects... 🙄 What's sickening about comparing ICE with the Gestapo is the accuracy. Masked government agents that refuses to identify themselves ARE secret police. People don't see the parallels because we're in America. #Resist #Can'tHappenHere #DueProcess
