The protest in my hometown is the largest I've ever seen here, and it fills my heart with pride. At a time when it can be so hard to keep my head up, it truly gives me hope for our people. Free Americans will not so easily bend to fascist rule ❤️🇺🇲

Fuck everybody involved in me understanding this post

When I come to power, my first order of business will be to spatter mustard all over the oval office. The balance must be restored.

Kinda wild that the SEC couldn't prosecute serious cryptoscams to begin with, and then along comes $Trump and $Melania coin, GOVERNMENT SPONSORED cryptoscams, and still the SEC remains so fucking toothless that I ain't heard a peep about that shit in months

I remember when mentally wrestling with my lack of doodle jump skills and the shame of failing to pass my own high score was the biggest drive to self-improvement and determination I had Now all I do is brainstorm ways to combat authoritarians who weaponize social media to destabilize democracy

I'm trying to maintain space in my heart at least for recognizing the humanity and redeemability of people who voted for this, mostly because I don't like what not doing so has done to me. But I really struggle to understand how anybody didn't see he was full of shit from the very beginning.

Dr. Oz, famous for shilling whatever ineffective miracle product as long as he gets a bag for it, in charge of Medicaid and Medicare. As if insurance companies and their legal murder aren't a hot button issue right now. Can't see That going wrong 🤦‍♀️

Reminder: Trump bankrupted every business he ever owned. And he’s lying about the tariffs and about the data that brought him to this decision straight up lying. But because there’s no more news services reporting the truth his followers listens to, they believe him.

sorry i got really worked up bc i saw the news it wont happen again

I was thinking that none of those numbers made sense, but holy fuck this is insane

It's really disconcerting to read through a single wikipedia article and get the vague sense that I now possess more knowledge on a subject than an elected official seems to have. In any other timeline I would dismiss that as ego talking, but now I'm not so sure, and that's a depressing thought.

Finally we will be liberated from the tyranny of disposable income and a functioning economy

Making food more expensive in the midst of a mounting social and economic crisis, jeez if only we had some sort of historical context to refer back to 🤔

🇺🇸👀 The US tariffs list does not include: 🇷🇺Russia, 🇧🇾Belarus, 🇰🇵North Korea, 🇨🇦Canada and 🇲🇽Mexico

Sushi rolls? Mmm feel free to roll me to the bedroom cus I'll call you umami 🤤🥵

They should still pursue criminal charges against Elon in Wisconsin for illegally trying to bribe voters.

FACT: You don't destroy the CDC unless you want people to die in large numbers.

MUSTAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRDDDDDDDD

Sure hope Cory Booker breaks Strom Thurmonds record. A black Stanford grad Senator breaking the anti-civil rights act filibuster by Thurmond is a sweet part of the arc of the moral universe.

Is it rude to point out that Cory Booker has better grammar and diction after being awake and speaking for 24 hours than Trump Ever has. 😎

"You can't lead the people if you can't love the people." Now THAT'S a tattoo idea 🔥

"You can't lead the people if you can't love the people." We're all with you, @booker.senate.gov

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Cory Booker is speaking for all Amercians, and it's beautiful to witness a representative with not just a spine, but the heart to back it up 🇺🇲❤️

🇺🇸 Cory Booker is now into his 20th hour of urging Americans to get into "good trouble ... necessary trouble." 🇺🇸 “This is not right or left, it is right or wrong,” he said but an hour ago. “This is not a partisan moment, it is a moral moment. Where do you stand?” 🇺🇸 With YOU, my very good man. ✊🏼

what gets me about this is Congress could step in at any moment and stop the president from committing hegemonic and economic suicide and causing Smoot-Hawley 2.0, but the electoral base of the GOP is so committed to the death drive they don't care

I need some godamn mac and cheese, stupid politics getting me all hungry n shit

Efuckingxactly. Turning our full attention to the poverty and suffering of our people is the only way we begin to heal the wounds the ruling class have inflicted, the pain of which so often makes us lash out against our fellow Americans. They have weaponized our anguish, our anger, to divide us.

You're right, retaliatory violence doesn't stop violence. Not in the short term. But guess what. When cruelty and hatred are the only languages you choose to respect, don't be surprised when desperate people begin to speak in the only terms you care to understand. An ugly, brutal truth of life.

Some people say to me, "You hate rich people." I always reply with the truth. "Not as much as they hate you."

This administration KNOWS what they're doing. They KNOW that we won't take any of this lightly. They're foaming at the mouth for the chance to violently crack down on any form of dissent, including sending everyone they arrest to work camps. Due process is an obstacle to them. Not a right.

In seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangioni, they will, in turn, be signing their own. Seriously, there's not a chance in hell this is going to end without the loss of more than just one life. And they know it. They just don't care. So long as they get to stifle dissent, and murder opposition.

Caught some of Fox News at a family member's house, and it cannot be overstated how much we need something like the fairness doctrine back. Stations like that actively choose to engage in malicious, insincere, fictitious, divisive rehtortic. They are a legitimately destructive cancer on our society.

THIS COURAGE BEGETS COURAGE.
