Happy Birthday to #KendrickLamar YOU are the gift

oh hey welcome to your trial, blackshirts

Always read Heather www.facebook.com/share/p/19do...

I can save Republicans a lot of time here-you don’t need to persuade us that Abrego Garcia is a “bad guy.” We don’t care. Our constitution doesn’t say we get to disappear ppl just bc we don’t like what they’ve done. If it did, none of the Trump Administration would still be here.

What is so miraculous about Senator Cory Booker in this moment is not the just the length of time he has held the floor, but the strength, clarity and coherence of his arguments at this stage. He is still arguing the case for saving democracy. He is doing it clearly. 🔥🔥🔥

I am part of that 25%. Share this if you are. We think sometimes that we alone can’t make a difference but we’re not alone.

For SoCal friends, Here is a list of resources for shelter, animal boarding, free items, and distribution hubs. These places can also use donations (e.g., food, water, masks, and blankets). Please consider donating if you can. For more info, visit Instagram: mutualaidla

Pretty much sums it up.

Sorta says it all

Something I’ve stressed in talks and interviews since the election is that we will not have restored the peaceful transfer of power in the U.S. until a Republican president willingly hands power to a Democratic president.

This woman. Aspire to be like her.

Saw this and felt instantly compelled to share it. Yes, all you complainers, this is about YOU. We get the government that you vote for. And if you don't vote, we get the government right-wingers vote for. Because THEY always show up & don't play games with their votes.

Elon Musk: Doing to congress what he does to tesla drivers: trapping us inside and setting us on fire.

Trying to lower grocery prices by making part of the industrial farming chain significantly more expensive to operate shows how Trump is playing 5D chess but doesn't understand any of the rules and is just chewing on the pieces and groping the queen.

In other words, a supermajority of two thirds do not say Covid-19 response was overblown. The role of media ladies and gentlemen. #covid #covidcanada

If we did a fraction of the research into our candidates for elected office as we did for our fantasy football teams, we would have the government we desperately need.

Vaccines allowed people like MTG and RFK Jr. to grow up healthy and become people who doubt the efficacy of vaccines

One of my immediate thoughts about HBO not renewing Sesame Street is that we live in a moment where being kind is an inherently political act.

Everyone in this picture would be able to walk if the polio vaccine had existed in time for them.

yes yes the problem is clearly Hollywood, very astute

Dear Kristen Weller and all other press, when they say we deleted evidence, refer them to this…. It’s all the evidence: www.govinfo.gov/collection/j...

Wowsa. Journalist @janemayer.bsky.social, who broke the story on Hegseth in the @newyorker.com just said on @maddowblog.bsky.social that since the story broke, her phone has been ringing off the hook with more people calling who witnessed Hegseth’s extreme drunkenness.

Beware of the people who spent the last several years mocking Hunter Biden’s addiction issues who are now virtue signaling about Pete Hegseth’s alcohol issues.

Weird they were unable to run this before the election www.wsj.com/economy/u-s-...

Saying “I promise not to drink on the job” because you have a record of drinking on the job, should be disqualifying as fuck for ANY job, let alone the Secretary of Defense. Why didn’t he also say, “I promise not to sexually assault any women on the job.” Is sexual assault not as disqualifying?

There is no common ground with Republicans. Their president-elect is a convicted felon & rapist who openly seeks revenge, gathers like-minded people around him, and wants to stay in power forever. We don’t need quiet politeness. We need angry, loud, and visible Democrats. Every. Damn. Day.

Both Texas and Georgia are destroying evidence of all maternal mortality, blocking proof that women are dying from abortion bans. This story has a lot more going on than you think. Especially since Republicans are lying about the public cases. www.salon.com/2024/12/02/d...

I still occasionally pop in to The Bad Place to see what the screaming is about. Posted this just now. Sums up my feelings about that whole deal
