This. It has nothing to do with combatting anti-semitism. It's using Jews as a ramming rod to attack free speech, universities, and pro-Palestinian activists, which includes Jews.

🔥🔥🔥 I’m 80 years old. I decided to call #SocialSecurity “If you are calling about a disability application due to staffing reductions, our average processing time for disability applications is 200 to 230 days. The estimated hold time is greater than 120 minutes”

One more time for the people in the back.

If you are not willing to be embarrassed, be dragged out of a joint session of Congress, be arrested, put your physical body in danger to defend Democracy, those Trump is targeting, and the Constitution, STEP ASIDE AND LET SOMEONE ELSE LEAD.

Keep your eye on the (Medicaid/Medicare/Social Security) ball. Not one word about protecting these programs in the SOTU tonight.

Using a Black child with brain cancer as a prop...and to promote law enforcement. By far the most vile moment of this hideous evening. The same MAGA that tries to ban DEI and says black people come from "shithole countries" and promotes white supremacist conspiracies. Vile. #StateOfTheUnion

I can't understand why Ukraine would consider handing over these rights. Doing so provides no security as the US is totally unreliable as an ally. I'm hoping an agreement won't be reached, and this is a necessary prelude to Europe arming itself, protecting itself, and walking away from the US.

I can’t believe this needs to be said. TransGENIC mice are not TransGENDER mice

Trump: "We brought back free speech in America. Free speech." This is a flagrant lie. Today he told universities they would be punished if they allowed protests of or criticisms of Israel, a clear violation of the First Amendment.

38,000 workers didn’t die building the Panama Canal, and the 5,000 who did die were almost all Afro-Caribbean workers who toiled in segregated conditions under white American supervisors.

Russia’s greatest military asset is not any bomb, tank, plane or ship. It is the Republican Party.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

F*ck the GOP

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Not an accident. Not a mistake.

Congrats to @wsj.com for breaking this news yesterday. In a word: egregious. @brianstelter.bsky.social pushes this quid pro quo story forward.

Folks, you have to read and share this substack. There is a method to the madness of Trump/Vance/Musk and it is scary. TL:DR the billionaires dont believe in democracy. Christian nationalists like speaker Johnson want to install a theocracy. substack.com/home/post/p-...

“DEI” is a capacious term that is meant to evoke tedious and ineffectual sexual harassment trainings but in practice is code for women or people of color having any dignity or prestige in public life.

Here is a list of the 2,600 programs under funding freezes as they are reviewed by the Trump Administration: (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Trump administration removes online database of Jan. 6 cases. He is trying to erase history.

Billionaire wealth grew 3x faster in 2024 than in 2023. Meanwhile, working people struggled to afford groceries, gas, and rent. Naturally, Trump's first priority is giving huge tax breaks to the wealthy and their corporations—and cutting support for families to pay for it.

I’m not leaving any platform. Going to stay and put up a fight. Stop ceding ground to fascists.
