If you think his approval rating is in the tank now just wait until mid-May when shelves are empty. The cargo ship industry is at a complete standstill right now. Empty ports, no scheduled ships, etc. The industry is rightfully freaking the fuck out, as we all should be.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

America destroyed itself due to greed and racism. It tracks. The two original sins the country was unable or unwilling to ever confront and conquer.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

USIP seizure was essentially a mini-j6, right down to the destruction of property. Only this time, they showed their guns, & the cops were on their side. This won’t be an aberration.

More of this, please. A LOT more of this, please.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

If you think the headline is good, you should read the copy.

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Japan tomorrow???? Japan for the first time tomorrow??? Japan??????!!

Never forget that Trump was the culmination of 40 years of stagnant wages, widening inequality, corruption, dog-whistle politics, and economic gains for the rich. If we fail to address this, we should expect future Trumps as far as the eye can see.

OMG Tom Brady is insufferable

Make no mistake. We are in the midst of a complete and total Constitutional crisis.

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

How is Trump hoping to improve air safety?!

Schools across the US are preparing for ICE raids. Schools. And according to Trump’s policy, ICE has “Zero Tolerance” for even a four-month-old. This isn’t safety, it’s state-sanctioned trauma. @rweingarten.bsky.social, president of the American Federation of Teachers, joins me at 11aET on #Velshi

Weaponizing the DCA plane crash to push an “anti-woke” agenda is not just offensive – it’s reckless endangerment of the American public. There are many reasons why the accident may have occurred, & NONE of them include DEI. @profmmurray.bsky.social & @esglaude.bsky.social join me @ 11a ET on #Velshi

Republicans want you to hit your kids instead of giving them health care

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts. See how it works?

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Like I've long said, there is nothing that goes wrong in this country which MAGA racists, led by Trump, won't blame on DEI/people of color, etc. To suggest this tragic air disaster was related to DEI is sick and ignorant. That's all he can do is scapegoat. It's his only move.

such an urge to go back to blonde but dont want to be associated with the maga women 😭

question for the timeline: how long did it take you to delete your twitter? and for those who havent, whats keeping you there? fomo? nostalgia ? for me personally I keep holding out hope that the rat sells it to someone who will save it

These self-identified Christians are celebrating the separation of parents from their children and spouses from one another; cheering families being torn apart, lives being violently uprooted, and human beings being terrorized at school, work, and church. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-youre-a...
