Such a hypocrite.

Same

I’ve said this for years: imagine where humans would be today without organized religion. They are the real evil in our world.

When you realize that what you were taught in school was selected so it wouldn't inconvenience you.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

It’s despicable that people with their faces covered are allowed to arrest anyone they want without ever identifying themselves. That should be a crime.

🤨

Ok. But here’s the thing: Juneteenth is not about freedom being won, it’s about freedom being ENFORCED. The heroes of Juneteenth are the Union Soldiers who went from plantation to plantation looking slaveholders in the face & saying: fuck with us if you dare. Freedom is not won, it is SEIZED

Live in such a way that you trigger white Christian nationalists.

True

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

Time for a General Strike! “Two Week” Trump is trying to get rid of holidays for working class people. He’s cost the US economy trillions of dollars in losses in the last 6 months and financially ruined millions of hardworking families. #3E #generalstrike

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Question: When are we going to call the white man who clearly plotted and schemed an act of violence, and shot two Minnesota law makers and their spouses out of political hatred a terrorist?

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Please note that the Black folks are sitting this one out. It’s not that we don’t love our country. It’s that this fight is not of our making, and our PRESENCE would agitate the police to shoot. We did all the heavy lifting to perfect and preserve democracy domestically for the last 100 years.

What radicalized you?

in addition to being brazenly unprincipled, this is evidence that the conservatives KNOW trump is a mad king, but still want to imbue him with royal authority — against the well-documented history and tradition of the united states — out of their blinkered devotion to a narrow ideological project

the tariff dance will continue as long as there is $$$ to be stolen

We tried to warn you. Project 2025.

The direct and indirect (time doctors and nurses spend on paperwork) administrative costs of US healthcare are 25-30%. The administrative costs of Japan's healthcare is 1-2%. We need to make the economic case for Medicare for All.

Fun fact: telling a university to cancel visas because you don’t like what they teach is fascism

Imagine how we would view this if it was happening in another country

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

You sure? Coz non-official acts of corruption are not immune from prosecution.

Baby, we were BORN TO RUN!...

CNN sucks.

judaism, as I learned it as a kid, doesn't have heaven or hell; the punishment for being a shitty person is that you're a shitty person and you're stuck with yourself and no one loves you and you have to be you. I will be honest, that is not currently enough for me. I need some people to suffer.

very cool that for ten years people at the heights of political commentary insisted to the point of rage that the paramount threat to free speech was “censorious” college students

A Friendly Reminder.

They are all fucking trash.

🤬🤬🤬

I don’t know whether to 🤣🤣🤣 or 😭😭😭.

🤷🏼‍♂️

Fuck these ChristoFascist, weak white men who - if Hegseth is to be believed - can’t get through their day with help from Sky Daddy. And, in Hegseth’s case, copious amounts of alcohol.

There is no rational basis for Trump's attacks on Harvard (a private university). His latest will strike fear into the hearts of young international students. I was once in their shoes, and can imagine their feelings. Congress: Come get your boy. He's attacking your country.
