Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

I will say it again: If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

Today is Day 12. Still 0 deals.

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: "There will be no unilateral reduction in tariffs against China." As predicted, it was yet another pump and dump on the stock market. Endless market manipulation.

a gen x classic rewritten for the times🥲

Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Another day, another Trump executive order—this time, it’s a full-blown attack on education: 
• Rolling back protections against unfair school punishments for Black & Brown kids
• Threatening DEI in higher ed
• Targeting foreign funding
• Floating vague concepts of a plan for HBCUs

“Pro-life”

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

That Trump, such a kidder. And China just came out and said Trump lied. They haven't been negotiating tarriffs with Trump like Trump said.

The Trump DOJ canceled grants for gun violence prevention, opioid addiction treatment, and victim advocacy—because saving lives doesn’t “align” with their priorities. These are the same folks claiming to make our streets safer.

The orange felon is now wanting to reduce tariffs on China after China retaliated not only by placing tariffs on the United States but by making deals with other countries to counter his MAGA trade war tariffs. Great businessman my ass, more like demented fraudster con artist.

The “but her emails” crowd are now cheering on drunken rapist idiot Pete Hegseth for sending out classified military intel on Signal Chat not once but twice and not just to a reporter but to his wife and brother. He should be in jail, not running the Pentagon.

As Trump nears 100 days in office, our country has never been in a more frail and fragile state. I look at Trump, his team of crooks & crackpots and urge Americans to start fighting back against this fascist regime. Watch here: youtu.be/Xx77sBrbCzk

No script. No filter. Just me and Jimmy Kimmel keeping it all the way real. Tune in tonight! #Kimmel

Let’s be real: the cost of living is out of control. People are living paycheck to paycheck. Rent is sky high. And folks are choosing between medication and meals—just trying to survive. Meanwhile, billionaires aren’t paying taxes and are getting richer by the day.

Research suggests that suicide rate among LGBTQ people are significantly higher than the general population. THIS IS EVIL.

“ICE Ambushed Mohsen Mahdawi in a 'Trap' and Had a 'Clear Plan to Ship Him to Louisiana'” The Palestinian Columbia student’s legal team says Mahdawi signed a pledge to defend the Constitution, reports Prem Thakker for Zeteo, and then ICE showed up.

The blunt truth, you can't wish this destruction of our freedom away. You don't have a choice. You either stand up to protect the Constitution, Human Rights, and Civil Rights or when you decide to rejoin society  none of your rights will be here for you to own.

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

It’s not the poor. It never has been.

I need to make dinner. Again. Every night. Dinner. Who came up with that?

The stock market lost $1.4 trillion in value today. Another day in Trump’s America.

History always has a lesson.

WATCH — @carolecadwalla.bsky.social : “The Russian and American presidents are now speaking the same words. Telling the same lies. We are watching the collapse of the international world order in real time… it is already later than we think.”

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." —Louis Brandeis

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

Thanks to @meidastouch.bsky.social for sharing stories of the resistance on both sides of the border. #elbowsup

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

We don't have kings in this country.

Over 1,000 international students had their legal status snatched by the Trump admin—no warning, no hearing, no due process. This ain’t immigration policy. It’s a power trip.

Most school shooters don’t get guns from strangers. They get them from home. We can change that—by locking up firearms and demanding safe storage. Because one locked gun could save a life. #ProtectOurChildren Do you own a gun? ✅ Lock It Up. ✅ Store Ammo Separately.
