… I oscillate between feeling the need to speak out, worrying @ the consequences of doing so, & then worrying @ the consequences of not doing so. But not doing so is in itself a privilege. In our world, no one gets to choose to be apolitical, for silence is a political choice that speaks volumes.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

It’s becoming more & more clear as each day passes: the only ones w/ Tr*mp Derangement Syndrome are those who support him, having deluded themselves for 10 yrs That we were right @ everything That fearing the worst is not, in fact, hyperbolic at all but an informed response to a legitimate threat

Apparently, dictators aren’t only bad for democracy. They’re bad for the dollar. #GoWokeOrGoBroke

They are deporting legal immigrants with no criminal record. They will do the same to American citizens. They are liars and cannot be trusted. Period.

I also believe that the electoral college is the rotten foundation from which all other rot flows: Citizens United, stripping of women’s rights/ civil liberties, gerrymandering, gun reform, voting rights etc. No one wants to talk @ changing how the game is played, but the game is rotten to the core.

I have believed this for about ten years: Thé US is a nation of boiling frogs. And if the voting public draws the line at nothing, soon enough, the person those voters empower to lead the country will also: Draw. The. Line. At. Nothing.

If the gov’t mistakenly disappears the wrong person (though clearly gov’t couldn’t care less if “mistakes” are made), the court shrugs. Will the court allow for literally anyone on US soil to be disappeared? while gov’t goes “whoops” & does nothing to remedy the situation My, how the US has fallen

First, they come for Venezuelans, then they come for incarcerated US citizens, then they come for non-incarcerated citizens they don’t like. They are floating the idea of incarcerated US citizens next, to ship them to foreign prisons. Literally, no one is safe. And the courts won’t save you.

The biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency. And no one is talking about it.

Growing up in a democracy, you never think your government would someday have the ability to kidnap u & send u to a foreign prison w/ no due process. You never think the Supreme Court would allow such malevolent lawlessness. Anyone on US soil at risk for being disappeared- The Roberts court: “meh”

Good trouble

Love this one. ♥️♥️♥️

Beautiful.

One positive thing to take from the last few years of politics is that there almost certainly *isn't* a secret cabal of Illuminati running the world behind the scenes. And if there is, they're not very hands-on with it.

It has been wonderful to wake up and see all you beautiful, strong, passionate people fighting for your democracy.

So we’re left with: Go woke or go broke

Whenever a Democratic president takes over again, he/she needs to immediately reform the Supreme Court & then argue against the Citizens United Super PAC decision, as well as argue for personal contribution limits to your own campaign.

This.

My second penguin post. Because penguins are awesome. #TeamPenguin

At some point, not only are businesses going to stop coming to US, but some will decide to leave. Why put up with the daily whims of a dipshit dictator when you could go have your business in a country with a real democracy, steady leadership, rule of law and a vibrant economy?

I just heard someone say that he won on the power of empathy. Ummm… I’m sorry. What?!?!? He is, by definition, an empty void where empathy goes to die.

Wondering if Wall Street is finally realizing he just. doesn’t. give. a. shit.

This. America alone will not go as well as he thinks it will and soon, if not already, literally no one will want to do business with US let alone start a US company or “bring back manufacturing”. This line of thinking is simply absurd if the entire economy is shackled to the whims of one dude.

1000% this.

Perfect.💙

Happy birthday LA! I miss you to pieces ♥️💙💔

True, R’s used to like FreeTrade & natsec. But for decades now, the Democratic Party has been the party of economic growth & fiscal responsibility. The fact that this needs clarification is exactly why we find ourselves here: Obama fixed Bush economy Biden fixed Trump economy And on and on we go

Turns out, #Bidenomics wasn’t so bad…

My extreme irritation at the but-the-eggs voters- (ya know, the ones who aren’t MAGA but just wanted the dude who has never set foot in a grocery store and never bought groceries in his life- to lower their egg prices) I find my *irritation with them growing by the day. Is it just me, or…???

Funny that POTUS has very little ability to lower the price of eggs. He could, however, exacerbate the problem by: 1) firing health/science experts dealing w/ bird flu 2) tariff the shit out of everything, thereby tanking the economy. He could, hypothetically, do that. Funny. But no one’s laughing.
