Can we please stop with the "why aren't Americans doing anything" Discourse that I keep seeing? I'm not even talking about people in other countries. I'm talking about my fellow USians who I see every day On Here bemoaning how we aren't protesting. 1. PROTESTS ARE LITERALLY HAPPENING EVERY DAY.

I’m a poor-ass teacher. I’ve been paying my student loans for 18 years on IDR. If this goes away, I’ll be effed. Eat the rich.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Thiel, Musk and other billionaire oligarchs are absolutely banking on there not being an after Trump. They hope to implode civil society so much in four years that it's open to elite capture. They are absolutely counting on there not being effective democracy in four years time, if not sooner.

The most powerful military in the world led by a Fox News alcoholic rapist on his third marriage who thinks the Geneva Convention is no longer valid and war crimes are no big deal. Did I mention he was fired from two veterans organizations for financial mismanagement? What could go wrong?

Every year, I take students to DC for an 8th gr. trip. We always visit the Holocaust Museum and though I've been there many times, I still find myself stopping to read these words. Since my first trip 15 yrs ago, I couldn't have imagined it would be relevant to my life in America. But here we are!

They threatened to seize university endowments BEFORE the election. Universities said nothing. They threatened to cut off research funding BEFORE the election. Academics said nothing. Congratulations on remaining apolitical & above the fray. Don’t say you weren’t warned BEFORE the election.

More good news for those looking to exit Meta’s social app ecosystem. An independent dev is building a photo-sharing app for #Bluesky called Flashes. It's powered by the same tech that underpins Bluesky, the AT Protocol, and has been built using code from the devs earlier Bluesky client, Skeets.

One of the biggest reasons they won’t age well is because they’re sweaty and desperate. These aren’t the moves of a string player who’s confident in their products, whose users are wowed by what they’re putting out. It’s flop-sweat energy, hoping that sucking up to the teacher will curve your grade.

Anyone who says there wasn’t enough water in the reservoirs to fight the California wildfires NEEDS to watch this & help stop misinformation. Can we please get back to uniting as a country when there are catastrophic disasters? Lying only disrupts efforts to help people in need. youtu.be/OsuBmAVqR7I

Muslims don’t recognize Jews as God's chosen people, Jews don’t recognize Jesus as the Messiah, Protestants don’t recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world, and Evangelicals don’t recognize each other at Hooters.

Yes, it MATTERS that the FELON was tried by a jury of his peers, found GUILTY of 34 counts of business fraud, sentenced, & CONVICTED!!! The felon won’t always be POTUS! He doesn’t have absolute immunity for all conduct! He’s engaged in criminality & turpitude! Every bit of accountability matters!

Only 9 Democrats voted against advancing the Laken Riley Act: Booker Hirono Kim Markey Merkley Sanders Schatz Smith Warren The Democrats could have blocked the 60 votes needed to advance. They didn't. They are already caving. Thank the 9, and yell at the rest.
