I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Great point.

JD Vance, a Yale Law graduate, doesn't understand Marbury v. Madison, the most famous case in Constitutional law, which established judicial review of the other two branches of government.

10 days in to the Trump Admin…and it’s chaos. Congressionally-approved funding for domestic & foreign aid has been FROZEN by Donald Trump. This includes money for fighting infectious diseases that could threaten Americans to global humanitarian aid like FOOD & WATER that saves countless lives.

WOW! @booker.senate.gov NAILED IT! "There can be no bystanders in this fight. It is time that we understand the only thing necessary for wrong to triumph is for right to do nothing, for right to be silent."

"complying in advance" includes saying "i'm against trumpism but i agree with keeping trans people out sports"

THIS RIGHT HERE‼️

As Elon Musk continues to talk about subsidies, let’s remember that he is the LARGEST GOVT SUBSIDIES RECIPIENT in the country!

This is how you do it...

I kept this screenshot assuming someday we might be asked to forget.

The U.S. Air Force will resume teaching about the nation's first Black pilots and the women pilots of World War II. This followed widespread public outcry over their earlier decision to stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen and the WASPs.

Fuckery Purging career agents & investigators to install loyalists 😒🤬 This is the real weaponization beginning not the projection of such that TFG claimed last week. Justice Department orders FBI purge, review of staff who touched Trump cases - The Washington Post apple.news/AMAMN0xy9QvG...

My statement on the FBI Purge that puts at risk the safety, well-being and national security of the American people.

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

a lot happened today, but it has not gone unnoticed that apparently someone has to be reminded of this 👀

THIS is 💯 how I feel. We can’t wait until the midterms to DO SOMETHING! The felon is destroying our country more and more each day, and our elected Dems need to speak up NOW. Please watch this video from Politics Girl. #Voices4Victory #LiveBlue youtube.com/shorts/zBYoY...

THIS is what every Democrat and Independent and reasonable person in office (or anywhere people listen to you) needs to hear and DO. 💯 🎯 by @politicsgirl.bsky.social

Today, @19thnews.org is celebrating its 5th anniversary! We’re marking this milestone by launching our first-ever endowment campaign to safeguard our organization for the long haul. 19thnews.org/2025/01/fift...

ATTN: This is most important court hearing to watch next week. The GOP does not want this case in federal court because they know a federal judge is not likely to toss out 60,000 lawful votes. Their plan is to have the partisan NC state Supreme Court decide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

And you haven’t heard about this, because Trump has banned ALL external communication from the CDC and FDA. They can no longer notify the public about any health crisis. www.cjonline.com/story/news/p...

Let's break down Trump's executive orders focused on destroying our environment. (1/9)

Just in case you were wondering! Lock in!

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

He’s LITERALLY not the President. Did you mean to thank President Joe Biden, who already said he wouldn’t enforce the ban, or is this all just preliminary pandering to the next boi, whose approval rating **before even taking office** is in the toilet? 🙄 #pandering #itsallBS

It's incredibly funny that DraftKings is legal but TikTok is not.

Under Biden, thousands of workers who experienced wage theft and other abuses have been granted protection from deportation and authorization to work so they can participate in labor investigations.

True this. The entire GOP is one big grift, top to bottom. They aren't even remotely interested in governing, and haven't been for at least 50 years.

It’s hard to create when every single headline is basically a reminder of how awful humanity is. But honestly, art matters more now than ever. At least that’s what I keep telling myself. 🥳

Get ‘em, Gavin! Great to see a Democratic leader take these miscreants and liars head on.

They’re banning TikTok not because it harvests data, the same way US social media does, but because they can’t influence it’s algorithm with congressional hearings or government contracts the way they do every other tech giant. That’s it.
