YES! Exactly this!

This is how you normalize authoritarianism.

U.S. ambassador pushes back against Canada’s travel advice “We welcome Canadians to come in and invest, to spend their hard-earned Canadian dollars at U.S. businesses,” U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra *** DO NOT TRAVAL TO THE USA or BUY AMERICAN PRODUCTS #MOG8 #ElbowsUp www.cp24.com/news/canada/...

Excellent question.

Your oath is to the Constitution. The President violates the Constitution. If he orders you to violate the Constitution… Your oath remains to the Constitution.

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

#AbolishICE Public safety alert: If you are family with a detained loved one, do not go to 300 N Los Angeles if ICE says they will let you see your loved one. It is a set up and they are detaining families.

No. Absolutely not. He's a nazi. He smashed the federal government and stole our data. He put USAID and USIP in a wood chipper, leaving hundreds of thousands of children to die. He's not welcome in any party I belong to. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Dear Dems, Get your shit together. Do more of the Town Halls and explain to people who voted for this "Big Beautiful Bill" and how it will impact them. Don't just focus on what the rich will gain, but talk more (in detail) what the poor and middle-class will lose. You can do this!

ATTENTION WORLD LEADERS: You are under no obligation to accept an invitation to the White House. You are not at his beck and call. By now, he only wants to see you if he feels like crapping on you. If he wants to meet you, he can come to you. Thank you for your attention to this matter

Some great advice on protesting

Every time I get an email from James Carville asking for more money for the Democratic Party, I remind myself that Chuck Schumer still hasn’t stepped aside. So no.

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

You can't report on this garbage without informing readers of the literal identical policy under Hitler. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...

It's ok. We get it...

The abolish ICE crowd has never been more vindicated

This is despicable. ICE is out of control.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Y'all are going to be begging for DEI to come back. Because this is peak whiteness right now, and it's looking pretty damn inept.

So many hundreds of thousands of words of ink, so many countless hours wasted, explaining how this man was secretly savvy, and it turns out he’s just dumb as a rock, clueless about basic economics, and driven by a malicious paranoia that conniving foreigners are ripping us off

If dems ever do retake power & don't change elected membership by at least 90%, I think we all need to prepare ourselves for them to continue to fail to meet the moment. I don't think the current crop is going to understand that the entire world will not just pretend like nothing has happened

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

To be clear: every Press Secretary spins narratives for their administration. This isn’t that. It’s a flat out lie. Leavitt knows it, every journalist in that room knows it, and any American citizen with a half-functioning brain should know it too.

Why do we want a guy who’s rockets constantly explode to fix our government?

Democrats! Now's your chance to head to these places and host some town halls.

Democrats should be out in force in red states and districts every second they aren’t in session…

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

AOC needs to primary Chuck Schumer

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

This is what throwing sand in the gears looks like… More of this, please.

I'm already really tired of my timeline being full of people disparaging winter, so, fellow winter lovers, let's share how wonderous this season is. These photos were from one winter day along the Straight of Juan de Fuca.
