Finally! Justice for 1.

Felon 47 doesn't actually believe in Christianity, it's just another marketing tool. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

It's not complicated people!

Yesssssss Canadians come through! There is hope for us yet!

In America, no one gives you a strange look for saying you're a Christian. But if you say you're an atheist or a Muslim? That's when they lose their minds.

Add your name to the petition to say NO to Tony Hinchcliffe's offensive comedy special with Netflix! sign.moveon.org/petitions/no...

Somehow this isn't the top story on the New York Times. Heck, it isn't even on *the front page* anymore. Trump is trying to stop his political opponents from running campaigns. There couldn't be a bigger threat to our democracy.

And a couple of days ago... It's no fucking joke. Time to study the resistance on Handmaid's Tale. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/u...

I'm SCREAMING mad this morning! Ladies get your Handmaid's garb ready. We are here. Holy f'ing shite! I'm screaming mad this morning. Better get your Handmaid's garb ladies. We are here! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...

And now this... I'm ashamed. Not my president. www.npr.org/2025/04/18/n...

I have no love for the catholic church, but I do for this man. The first voice of reason and genuine compassion in my lifetime. He opened my mother's eyes to inclusion and for that I am grateful.

Something to think about as we redesign the broken Democratic Party.

This.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

WTF?

The time is now. We cannot stay silent. Thank you for standing up. I am humbled.

Make sense of this mess: We’re shunning skilled immigrants —while dumbing down schools by banning books & defunding education. And the grand plan for the workplace is a bro-club of white men hoarding power. So when does “greatness” kick in? Because all I’m seeing is regression wrapped in a flag.

Deregulation list is called the kill list. But what's really being killed is us. We are SO fckd! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

Kudos to Maine Governor, Janet Mills! More guts than most of those bootlicking white men!

Way to go Harvard! Finally a large institution with the guts to say NO!

Just wait, it won't be long before it's your friend, neighbor, co-worker.

Time for North Carolina voters to call Chuck!

ALL WORDS...I sure hope not. Just DO IT.

WTF is wrong with people? So many mistakes made over decades.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

WHY even have ELECTIONS? It took 5 months, multiple lawsuits, and an assist from his Republican pals on the North Carolina Court of Appeals, but it looks like Jefferson Griffin has successfully managed to steal a state supreme court seat from Justice Allison Riggs www.publicnotice.co/p/jefferson-...

First they came for the people from Maryland...

Time to get busy people! Yesterday we ripped off the band-aid. Now we start the surgery!

Si' senora! #handsoff

Such a great day!

Good thing Noem wants to get rid of FEMA. Nobody needs it, and storms don't do damage. Thank the billionaires for screwing Americans.

Organized religion is a scam designed to control the masses. I'd live to know the ratio of church leaders who have committed sex crimes to trans ppl who have. I'm gonna take a WAG and say 100 to 0.999. www.propublica.org/article/scot...
