In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Somehow I feel less safe with SpaceX engineers in charge of anything, than just having no FAA. Is their goal just to kill as many Americans as possible?

Have you ever read something more disturbing?

@hrc.org You better be careful, the #LGBTQIA+ community is watching closely. If you don’t defend the rights of all of us, including trans people, you don’t defend any of our rights—and you, as an org, will lose our support as well. Change your name, or get back in the game. This is bullshit.

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Such a succinct outline of why it makes more sense for blue states to secede than for red states.

It never ceases to amaze me, and piss me off, that almost the entire world has some form of universal healthcare—even Russia and China. The United States is singular in its need to capitalize on and profit off of absolutely everything.

I actually know quite a few men who took on their spouses name as well. This doesn’t just disenfranchise women. Gay men, men who hyphenated their last name, men who took their wife’s name rather than the other way around, and people who simply chose to change their name on their own will be affected

We have a literal child in the White House. Expelling people for saying the word “felon” is actually insane.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

As a person of deep empathy, it feels like I've been physically beaten—assaulted by the conditioning of a society drowning in cruelty. It literally incapacitated me for months. I speak near-Kantian truth, seek understanding, and devote life to enlightened ideals. America's leaders are intolerable.
