It sure does take a lot of cops to protect Elon's feelings.

Thanks to President Biden, Trump inherited a strong, “envy of the world” economy. And, as we all know, Trump is very good at squandering an inheritance.

A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.

Attended a nearby protest on International Women’s Day

measles are great again 😢

A doctor has been serving one of Baltimore’s poorest neighborhoods for decades — and if his patients can’t pay, that’s OK with him. So when he was diagnosed with cancer, his community rallied to raise $100,000 for his treatments.

Some of us have been saying this since 2020 and even before: Dems should make corruption *the* central issue in US politics and public life and go on the offensive against GOP/MAGA/Trump transparent and hypocritical corruption and grifting. Most voters hate corruption.

One FULLY INTENDED effect of transphobia is to remove Black and other racialized women from the category of "women" and restrict womanhood to cis white conventionally attractive women who can bear children. It's all part of a white supremacist project.

Ironic how the applause lines don’t match the budget cuts.

America waking up to the fact that the biggest recipients of “DEI” are white women. And veterans are right up there.

measles are great again So damn ridiculous and unnecessary 😠

The GOP is not a conservative movement. It's a far right authoritarian cult.

In his defense It’s hard not to sound entirely full of 💩 when you’re saying regular people need to suffer so rich people can get even richer Their privatization agenda out in the open 👇🏽

Today, we honor the bravery and sacrifice of those who, 60 years ago, marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, risking everything for the right to vote and the promise of true freedom. Their courage paved the way, and it’s on us to keep pushing forward.

I am so sorry this is being done to these women and so pissed! The Ffotus belongs in prison. 🤬🤬

1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports. He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth. It's so much worse than being reported. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety. This won’t go well—we love our parks.

I'm not sure why we are pretending this has anything to do with "DEI" anymore. There is a systematic effort to purge any acknowledgement that race or racism or gender or misogyny EXIST

He’s reconsidering. Sigh. I won’t hold out hope.

When you bend the knee, you’re closer to the ground for them to kick and stomp on you.

Musk suffers from the same delusion as his fans: he imagines he knows things because he has money. This has caused him to repeatedly embarrass himself publicly, and the humiliation makes him more resentful of criticism instead of triggering self reflection. He shouldn't be anywhere near government

At my checkup today, I got my shingles and tetanus vaccines. I’m getting any vaccines I qualify for. Vaccines are proven safe & effectives.

That’s some deep 🐂 💩.

BREAKING - Trump team met with Ukraine’s top 2 opposition leaders to try to topple Zelenskyy The plan has FAILED - both opposition leaders have officially said they do NOT support calling an election to replace Zelenskyy while the war is going on

Everything Trump does seems to be in service of the world's richest man and a murderous Russian dictator. Here's why Democrats are too beholden to special interest groups.

The thing I'll always remember about Al Green is that he was the first Democrat to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017, after Comey was fired. He also argued that Trump was impeachable for his bigotry alone. This was completely out of step with most Democrats and party leaders.

It's just unimaginable how many people will die when they put out a half baked study to discredit vaccines in service of their eugenics project. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Waste of taxpayers’ damn money and precious resources. Vaccines are proven safe and effective.

An unknown number of fired CDC workers got their jobs back this week. Among them was Bri McNulty, who had shared her story with NPR.

@repjasmine.bsky.social: "It's not the trans people who made you lose your job... who started a tariff war with Mexico or Canada or China... who are taking away the Department of Education... it's also not the immigrants. And it's definitely not the Black folk."

Zelensky's approval rating jumps to 68% after Trump clash, poll shows.

“The vast majority of the Pentagon purge targets women and minorities, including notable milestones made in the military. And it also removes a large number of posts that mention various commemorative months — such as those for Black and Hispanic people and women.” apnews.com/article/dei-...

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Measles Are Great Again, sadly I had measles and whooping cough as a child. So glad I was too young to remember those times. I can imagine I was miserable. I could’ve died. I don’t wish any preventable childhood illnesses on my children, or any child or adult. Vaccines are safe & effective.

@algreen.house.gov let's get this hero a million followers today!

We can change the lyric of the national anthem from “And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air” to “f-elon’s rockets burstin in air.” Symbolic of how the co-president has taken over the the country and is destroying anything we held dear.

Not only is this the second explosion in a row for Musk, but this launch wasn't even supposed to happen—as the investigation into the _last_ one isn't done yet. The only reason this launch went forward is Trump's FAA cleared it prematurely as a favor to Musk. Now FL travelers are paying the price.

One of the first things Musk did upon becoming co-president was fire the head of the FAA because the FAA penalized SpaceX for safety violations. Fast forward a few months: 2 rockets explode. MAGA. www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa...

My reticent 14-year old son just told me today that Pres. Obama is his favourite prez. 😊

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.
