When I had a violent stalker who would graphically describe how he would have me gang raped, puncture my organs and and break all my bones, I was told the police "couldn't do anything". Consider this a reminder that they absolutely ✨can✨ do something. They just don't care about YOU.

Every time the government shuts down some self proclaimed leftists say it's actually good on anti-imperialism grounds, and I just want to remind everyone that (a) Veterans benefits get cut off, but the military is still funded, and (b) PEOPLE WHO NEED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS DIE WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS.

The one nonnegotiable thing for Donald Trump is election denialism. Every person who works for him must be an election denier, whether it is at DOJ, the FBI, in the White House or at the RNC.

An important must read. "Alongside neo-Nazis staging marches, militia groups on the border have promised to lend their support over to sheriffs. It’s hard to tell the vigilantes from the law enforcement. But then again, in Trump’s America, isn’t that the point?"

With Trump’s attacks on the press back in the news, just a reminder (especially to younger voters who may not remember) that there were repeated attempts to intimidate journalists during his first term, including his WH decision to seize my press pass. I wrote about it in my book. a.co/d/gfqPCoU

On CBS News website, the clipping below. The passive & unexplicit conclusions leave some (magats) to think that the trump tariffs will be paid by foreign nations. Every single economist has stated- CONSUMERS PAY THE TARIFF/TAX trump's so confident of added tax revenue? Then pass the budget!

This is fucking insane. So much of the foundational idea of the internet was permanent easy and cheap archival work, and that's just gone. There's now a war over the past to fund a market boom in a single tech product that's likely important but wildly overvalued. www.indignity.net/the-washingt...

Millionaires and billionaires would be perfectly FINE not getting salary for 33 days, or even 333 days. The average American, folks like you and me working paycheck to paycheck, would not. Do NOT let billionaires make decisions for US. PASS IT ON.

Bringing my pinned Tweet along with me as I migrate here because this still matters & because we cannot normalize what Trump intends to do to DOJ. Justice should never be a political tool for presidents & their pals.

I understand the confusion and anger from Democrats right now. However, one thing that would be super counterproductive is forming a strategy going forward that ignores the 3 groups who voted correctly: Black people, Jewish people, and the LGBTQ community. Don't abandon our base to win bigots.

U.S. renters spent an extra $3.8 billion last year because of pricing algorithms used by landlords, according to a new analysis from the White House. The biggest culprit is RealPage, a company that allegedly uses software to help big landlords illegally collude and set prices.

The tactic is more than a little sophomoric, but Trump is sophomoric. Last time, when we said it was Bannon pulling Trump’s strings, Trump ousted Bannon. Nobody pulls Trump’s strings.

There is no joy in taking health insurance coverage away from any of our constituents, including trans children of active duty service members here in Virginia. You can’t support our troops by making it harder for families to afford medically necessary health care prescribed by their doctors.
