This is an appropriate time to remind folks that the judiciary was never going to save us. They are a useful tool to slow down the march of the fascists and buy us time. But they were never never never going to save us. We, The American People, will save us. Stop waiting for a rescue. Get to work.

as a gay Catholic I think we need like a 300 year ban on Catholic Supreme Court justices

We can't let Trump's aggressive rhetoric towards Iran distract us from the fact that his budget will destroy Medicaid.

MAGAs: Why won’t Muslims just assimilate to our country!?! Muslims: [Get elected to office] MAGAs: …Wait not like that

The Medicaid cuts in Trump's Tax Scam will be disastrous for millions of Americans, even if they aren't on Medicaid. Many hospitals that rely on Medicaid funding will be forced to close if the GOP’s dangerous bill passes.

They call it "plastic surgery" because it makes your skin look like Seran Wrap.

One thing is for certain after this week: Local cops in sanctuary cities—Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York—are working in lock step with DHS and ICE.

Pretty clearly setting the stage to use the Insurrection Act to crack down on domestic protests within the US.

Bernie, you rascal! You’re spot on here.

How do any of these people think this could ever be successful or beneficial?

The opposite of "woke" is sociopathy.

Every real patriot who finds themselves in a confrontation with these brownshirts needs to start SNATCHING MASKS. Remove their anonymity and expose these terrorists. SNATCH THE MASKS

Billionairism and the blind, zealous worship of wealth have stolen America's Greatness from us. It has turned our Shining City on the Hill into a slumlord oligarch's tenement for lobbyists and feckless status-addicts.

Wtf is Newsom thinking? An "asset test" of $2000 to qualify for medicaid? According to Zillow, Redfin, and Rentometer, the average cost for a 2b unit in California is $2200-$3500/mo. So, under Gavin's plan, IF YOU CAN PAY YOUR RENT IN CALIFORNIA, YOU WILL NEVER QUALIFY FOR MEDI-CAL. Shut it down

What media you support is a statement of your priorities and your values. If you think Trump needs to work more effectively with a GOP Congress, support The Washington Post. If you believe we must fight for our democracy, then consider becoming a Democracy Docket subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

There you have it EVERYONE! The GENOCIDE has begun. Just like Putin did in Russia , Trump is now following in his footsteps. No more Medicaid, Medicare and or Social security. I never voted for the Anti-Christ & his minions. He really pulled the wool over the MAGAS eyes.

Israel is using starvation as a weapon — not to win the war, but to stretch it. By blocking aid and delaying ceasefires, it turns hunger into a tool of control, coercion, and slow annihilation. Cartoon by Carlos Latuff.

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

We have all been reduced to merely bearing witness to the most extreme barbarity and genocide of Palestinians. The helplessness I feel is maddening. There is no Superman coming…💔😭

Harvard University launched FREE college course online for every US Citizen. Highlighting basic U.S. Government, understanding the Constitution, and How to recognize a Dictatorship takeover. HARVARD = 1 TRUMP = 0

Um, yes we do. And just to be clear, we ALSO want social safety nets, basic medical care that's free at the point of service, expanded labor rights, and consumer protections--just to correct some of the big GOP assumptions.

Killing poors who don't have their own private jets is no longer a crime. Boeing could have just started selling health insurance if it had a taste for state sanctioned murder. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

To make sure that at least one person puts the biggest presidential grift and conflict of interest in US history in front of the Fox audience for 60 seconds, which will be the only truth they hear about it all week.

Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it

A main problem is that conservatives worship and venerate inflicting suffering on those who can't defend themselves, with such conscience-schocking confidence that draws minds devoid of introspection, empathy, and rational thought. Machiavelli's "The Prince" wasn't a playbook--it was a warning.

Jeffries on the $5m payout to Ashli Babbitt's family: "This settlement is just an extension of what they've previously done, which is to pardon violent felons who violently attacked the Capitol on January 6, including police officers."

If foreign countries pay tariffs, why does every American retailer have to raise prices to stay in business?

Again it's worth pointing out that the ideal 'MAGA economy' is *literally* centrally planned, authoritarian communism. The state dictates where you work, what you buy, and which opinions will get you exiled without due process. This is Trump's America.

“In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it.” - 1984, George Orwell

I'd like to call this a cynical viewpoint but can't, because this was a primary focus of Tapper and CNN for days So here's a thought Maybe-just maybe-news anchors shouldn't be allowed to set an agenda in order to sell their own books Especially when democracy is literally crumbling at our feet

These people are the fucking worst.

The U.S. government’s racist ethic cleansing policy now openly centers whiteness as a prerequisite for entry. The admission of Afrikaners under “cultural assimilability” is not just preference - it’s a project of demographic engineering rooted in settler colonial logic.

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE
