In case anyone needed reassurance that saying "no" to fascist, totalitarian regimes is patriotic.

Somehow not a shocker coming from someone who shot her puppy.

Seriously! This is morally repugnant, and if I were a white south African I would be insulted (but I think class privilege and racism might blunt their feelings except those of entitlement)

The cognitive dissonance required to support the government saying both “Forget vaccines, you just need fresh, healthy food” and “We’re firing all the food inspectors” is truly staggering.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

This is devastating on so many levels. The MAGA anti science trend will cripple US competitiveness. The deletion of data and ending important research and publication means we will be flying blind into an increasingly uncertain future.

Trump is abandoning his base. Does anyone else see this as both no surprise, and a sign of things to come? 'Struck by disaster? No help for you!' And that won't be the worst of it. I know, FAFO. But it continues to astonish me that so many people (~77M) voted for this and couldn't see it coming.

I want to see what this means. F47 and company won't obey. What will you do? Wave a court order around and shout? So what? How will the rule of law prevail?

If the proposed cuts in the Republican budget are confirmed, we will see all of these awful things happen. Starvation. Illness and death will be boundless in the US all at the hand of the Republican party. Call your representatives. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

My two cents...There are two general kinds of Americans. 1. Those who think what is hurtful to themselves would be hurtful to others & align their moral compass according. 2. Those who want to be reassured that their place in a hierarchy won't be threatened & if it is, lash out accordingly.

Spears vs. Pillows. My experience of the April 5 protest I attended was that it was a pillow fight. Fluffy, soft, unfocused, and not very impactful. By contrast, the MAGA horde carries spears. I don't agree with them, but their messages are pointed, focused and impactful. Where are our spears?

This is - as I understand it - against the law... very very against the law. We are in deeper dookey than we think if our nation's top law enforcement agency can flagrantly break the law with impunity.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Lithuanians in Vilnius paid more respects to the 4 American troops who died in Lithuania than Donald Trump…who ran off to go golfing.

The White House admits they sent an innocent father of three to the prison in El Salvador but they are still fighting to make sure he doesn’t come home. The definition of evil.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.
