Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

He walks among giants… of perversion and inhumanity.

“Do not mock us.”

Everyone’s gonna be wide awake at his funeral. If only because they’ll play Kool & The Gang’s “Celebration” at full volume.

Trump signed an executive order letting educators physically discipline kids—and this school principal’s response is perfect: “No. We’re not going to be doing that. It feels like a set up.” Because it is.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.

Yep

Repost if these are your sentiments about the most hated person -- and barely even a person -- in the entire world! #SendMuskToMarsOnAOneWayTrip

"My cars are wildly unpopular right now! What is the one spokesperson I could pick to make them look even less cool?"

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

There’s been a great many capitalist dystopian books and art, but most failed to imagine something as grim and pathetic as the President of the United States hawking his oligarchical puppet master’s shitty cars on the White House lawn.

Lincoln talked about a government of the people, by the people, for the people. Today, with Trump as our president, we have a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires.

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants." In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

Tell me, what would #Trump do differently if he was a #Putin puppet/Russian agent?

It's infuriating that the lives of tens of millions of people here and around the world are in the tiny hands of a vile, gutless, draft-dodging predator/felon who has never had a noble instinct in his life. I'll never forgive the people who voted for him.

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

A post office, at the heart of every rural town in the U.S. A place to do business, chat with neighbors, send gifts, and sell cookies. How sad it will be when many are closed.

And... Why should the Blue states send their money to a corrupt government that is just going to give it to the billionaires. Fck that. Time to hold on to our money. Let the Red states figure it out.

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

Here’s a description of the rejected ad. Does anyone have the actual copy? It should be disseminated widely.

It seems to me that no matter what the ostensible goals of any particular action by Trump/Musk is it must do at least one of these things: 1. Assert dominance. 2. Instill fear. 3. Inflict pain. 4. Deliver cruelty. 5. Cause hardship.

This is a level of coolness never before witnessed.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Eagles fans at the Super Bowl, you know what you must do: Boo the shit out of that flaming asshole Trump. #superbowl

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

I'm sorry but the Dems are ridiculously bad at their Hegspeth questions. IMO, if you want to prove someone is incompetent, you ask them the hardest strategic questions they will have to know to succeed at the job

Here’s some more from the great Elizabeth Warren. She is slaying him.

Sheesh! I hope the #Eagles consider a new kicker in the offseason.

I'm not one to brag about following a healthy dietary regimen, but today I wore gluten-free jeans and a no-MSG shirt.
