So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

Palantir (the extremely creepy surveillance company co-founded by Peter Thiel in 2003) has a stock market valuation that climbed from $50 billion a year ago to approaching $300 billion today — worth more than Verizon or Disney. Think of it as Blackwater but with computers instead of guns & armor.

The legal basis for Trump’s mass deportations is entirely a lie.

Once again… Way too many orange demon voters (mostly WP) assumed the world would bend to their whims. No. They didn’t realize most minorities are built to thrive in economic struggles & folks loathe the orange demon. Buckle up America! We’re in for some rough times thehill.com/newsletters/...

Still funny the trump presidency is exactly what republicans and the press claimed the Biden presidency was

I’m old enough to remember when conservatives got mad because they thought women were having babies to get cash

Why Abrego Garcia? Why now? Here’s why. Trump’s deportation numbers are actually less than Biden’s, even with all this noise. The high profile cruelty and defiance of court orders is a distraction tactic to cover up his low deportation numbers. With Trump it’s always a sleight of hand Ponzi scheme.

Phoenix Ikner: I am a white supremacist. I love Donald Trump. I hate Black and brown people. Trump says universities are liberal propaganda machines. I’m convinced white people are under attack. Corporate Media: He had such a rough childhood and we just cannot fathom his motivation??? 😑

Today is Day 9. 0 deals.

China raises tariffs on US goods to 125% as Xi urges EU to resist Trump ‘bullying’

“Facing pressure to scrub its website of diversity and inclusion references, a Japanese American National Museum leader says the museum will ‘scrub nothing.’” 🔥

So what’s the plan Protestors? Y’all had your day yesterday What’s next? This isn’t a one day performative action to make yourselves feel better This is a life long political engagement So again I ask, WHAT’S THE PLAN? What’s next?

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Cory wasn't allowed a bathroom break??!?¿ 😲😱

so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, “Fuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite

Worst timeline ever

We are seeing why DEI is so important and why incompetent, mediocre white men (and white women who are worse) needed to destroy it.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

The last two days of congressional hearings really underscore the degree to which Democrtas ability to "do something" is extremely constrained by not being able to hold these kinds of hearings.

ABC News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CBS News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." MSNBC: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CNN: "An unthinkable breach of national security." Fox News: "We've all texted the wrong person before."

People are desperate for Harris to give a speech that they can not watch, pick apart from sound bites and distortions and then say I shouldn’t have voted for her. That’s what y’all want. Just say that.

The removal of the Black Lives Matter mural in Washington, DC and the deletion of webpages focusing on African American history at Arlington National Cemetery is part of the same project.

“The lethally complex issues we now face are the result of one man’s personality disorder and continuous criminality - and a coterie of billionaires willing to exploit his toxic malignancy for their own benefit.”

White folks in America have never faced an existential threat. And it shows. We're just running around, shrieking at mostly Black people to save us from ourselves YET AGAIN, when all we've ever done as a demographic is fuck over everyone else to maintain white supremacy & our privilege.

Y’all want Hakeem Jeffries to be the “angry black man” He’s not going to do it. He knows he can’t. Just like president Obama, to succeed in leadership in white america he has to stay cool calm and collected and keep doing the work. Yell all YOU want. He’s not going to yell.

Guess who’s going to evade blame These Corporations better step the fuck up and call out Trump

White Dems are so fucking tiring. Its the same bullshit for the last 10 yrs All I keep seeing this week is Bernie or AOC cast as saviors of party. FOH Those two have done Jack shit combined in last 10 yrs. The only thing they’ve done is push people away from the DEM Party Get a new fucking script

The moron is delaying the tariff for US automakers becasue he's just making this shit up as he goes along.

if you like something that target or amazon carries and you still want that product, go to the manufacturer's website and see if you can order it directly from them. it's saved me from giving either of them money, and it's equally as convenient as using the target or amazon apps.

The strong economy the media relentlessly shit on while Biden was President is now at legitimate risk of sliding into the recession they claimed was going to happen any moment while he was President but isn't giving it nearly the same amount of coverage 🙃

Trump ran the most openly fascist campaign i've ever seen and spent literally an entire week making shit up about Haitians being dog eating vermin who should be deported. if you voted for the guy, the most charitable anyone can be is "openly White supremacist hatred is not a dealbreaker for you"!

Once again, y’all have demonstrated a deep and abiding refusal to even try to listen to what Black Americans are telling you. Which is why it’s up to the whites.

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

Marco Rubio just sat there like a useless sack of shit. What a global embarrassment.

What a shitshow
