Perfect.

Dozens of companies who sponsored Pride marches last year have pulled out this year, including: Dyson Nivea Tiffany & Co. Capital One UPS Disney DoorDash Live Nation Nissan Citi Corporate Pride was always a hoax. https://popular.info/p/pride-and-prejudice-in-corporate

The new top voting lawyer at the Department of Justice was until recently an attorney and activist for a leading anti-voting legal group that has worked for years to spread fear about illegal voting and press election officials to tighten voting rules. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

FAFO Is a thing.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1921: The Tulsa Race Massacre begins. Thousands of whites rioted in Tulsa’s Greenwood District, killing hundreds of African Americans and burning their homes and businesses. It’s one of the worst incidents of racial violence in U.S. history. /1

Just a friendly reminder - Trump pardoned all of the January 6th traitors, even this piece of human garbage. #TrumpCoupAttempt

Got a text from the DMV? It’s probably a scam. blockclubchi.co/3SrOkqs

The day is over, everyone go home this is as good as it gets

The Founders were wrong about a lot but the biggest thing they got right is they understood the dangers of religious fanaticism and restriction of speech. That's why the first amendment specifically blocks Congress from abridging almost any freedom of speech or religion.

You might want to sit this one out, Ann.

I successfully pushed the Biden administration to clamp down on how data brokers use your private data. Now it's the latest casualty in the Trump administration's efforts to help companies turn a profit at the expense of consumers.

this would be the kind of scandal that demands resignation if these people had any commitment to public service!

There's always a tweet.

Also, the emoluments clause prohibits gifts "without the consent of Congress" – and Congress consented to the Statue of Liberty! millercenter.org/the-presiden...

The world needs more of this and less of most other things

Congressional Republicans are pushing forward a budget that will take health care away from nearly 14 million Americans — the largest cut to Medicaid in U.S. history — while giving over $2 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires. It's shameful. thehill.com/policy/healt...

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. Memorize it. And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.

What a surprise, Pam Bondi and Pete Hegseth have concluded that it would not violate the emoluments clause for Trump to accept a “flying palace” 747-8 jumbo jet from Qatar.

Apparently Trump’s 4th threat in 3 months to impose additional sanctions on Russia if they don’t agree to a ceasefire is now off because Putin doesn’t want to do that. 4 threats, 4 Putin rejections, 4 Trump does nothing.
