Terry Moran and Jim Acosta should start the own news network with some other journalist and resistors

The lack of total outrage at the indictment of Congresswoman McIvey is truly frightening. Hakeem Jeffries ought to be causing high holy hell over this. She is indicted because she is Black. Half of the GOP caucus engaged in sedition and Garland felt arresting a member of congress went too far.

Angus: Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesnโ€™t believe in liberal democracyโ€”he doesnโ€™t believe in the rule of law. Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada. He is welcoming Vladimir Putinโ€™s sock puppet.

Sometimes I think the โ€œthis is just a distractionโ€ crowd just canโ€™t handle the chaos, and thatโ€™s their way of cooping. But this is our reality. All of it. We donโ€™t get to pick one crisis at a time. Walk and chew gum.

Gavin Newsom - If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. #cdnpoli

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

I couldn't agree more. Heartbreaking

Vermont: this is Annie! She's young, pretty, and incredibly friendly - the type that normally gets snapped up within a few days at the shelter. She's been passed over for weeks, though, because she has FIV and people are scared off by misconceptions.๐Ÿงต www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

July 4th will be our freedom from the budget that is being pushed through with harassment, intimidation, threats and bullying from 47 who calls himself a leader. The impacts are huge for the American people and our assignment is to protect all humanity! We need to stay focused and unite !

The second-generation German immigrant in the White House probably doesn't know that Mexicans have been in the United States in Texas and California for way more generations than his family has. #OnYourSide

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what itโ€™s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us โ€” not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

Everyday Americans need access to more affordable housing. Teachers, law enforcement, veterans, hospitality workers, CNAs, seniors, young adults. We need to build and preserve affordable housing now. #AffordableHousing #housingcrisis #housing

i just watched a clip of stephen miller talking to hannity from a few days ago and my god is that guy a stone cold freak. like, everything about him is profoundly off-putting, like a bug in an eggar suit

At times like these, I would rather be snuggled in a hobbit home like place like this.

Engaging the base is how you persuade the middle. When you have a left flank carrying what isn't yet a "popular" position, you move people toward you by making it seem more and more the norm.

I remember them being used and directly fired at me! All this talk of rubber bullets and baton rounds is brining up all sorts of memories of my Derry childhood under military occupation.
