I'm working on a book about how the 2004 Howard Dean scream is to blame for all our problems while simultaneously ignoring the criminal fascist currently in the White House. Anyone have Jake Tapper's publisher's number?

Since our legacy media couldn’t care less, and our current President is a galactic piece of shit: we have to remind ourselves that Putin has been committing war crimes, including the mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children. So, you know, this is that reminder.

I am not expecting much but if it somehow works out that Trump can't accept the Qatari Trump Sky Alpha airplane he's going to be madder than he has ever been about anything, and will remain so until the moment he dies. This is what it's all about for him.

Don’t let up, friends! Keep the pressure on! The best way to let your reps in DC know that you are upset about the budget reconciliation bill is to call and/or email on a weekly basis. KEEP GOING. Especially if you are in a red district. It’s the best tool we have rn, in addition to protesting!
