It’s not eliminating DEI. This is about erasing anyone who is not a white man from American history. Just say that.

Someone actually pre-drafted a #FOIA request for you to send directly to #DOGE so that you can find out what personal information of yours that ketamine-addled doofus has. Here's a link to it. Happy hunting. drive.google.com/file/d/119jz... #resist

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

I’ve definitely not been impressed my representative, Brittany Pettersen. We can add this to a long list of reasons she should be primaried.

According to the IRS, “The current tax rate for Social Security is 6.2% for the employer and 6.2% for the employee, or 12.4% total. The current rate for Medicare is 1.45% for the employer and 1.45% for the employee, or 2.9% total.” Cutting “entitlements” is stealing right out of your paycheck.

This will be of no surprise to anyone whose job is working you literally to death just to pay bills or who have avoided medical treatment because you couldn’t afford the deductible.

Historian here: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

"A little disruption" is what Trump calls economic hardship for all Americans outside the 1%. "A little disruption" is code for "it's going to hurt you more than it hurts me." "A little disruption" is a warning that the folks living in the billionaire bubble are going to make your lives miserable.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

I was expecting al green to be thrown out, sure, and then other people to have stood up with him, and one by one they all get thrown out like Spartacus. They make them be removed. I was expecting that because movies have made me expect courage, solidarity, and honor

Suozzi: When that guy asked Zelenskyy a question, he said, 'You don’t have a suit? You come in here without a suit on?' That was Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend. Why is he asking questions in the Oval Office, and why doesn’t he ask that question when Elon Musk shows up?

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

My heart breaks for the millions of Ukrainians who have been betrayed by our traitorous president in his pathetic quest for Putin’s approval. Ukraine’s people have shown immense courage in the face of Russia’s brutal, illegal aggression; they deserve our admiration and support. Trump is a quisling.

The elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Musk and Trump who are bleeding this country dry.
