I honestly think it’s time for some Dems to start dropping f-bombs. On national television. Let’s start acting like the crisis this is

Thinking of Greta Thunberg (and co) and those being attacked by ICE in LA. Lot of horrible stuff going on right now but also A LOT of people standing up for what's right.

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

Make no mistake. At that range, an error? And even if it were an error, they have the right to shoot out cameras? Dear god, do you see what is happening? What's next,people falling out of windows?

Just think: if people could’ve brought themselves to vote for the smart black lady, we would all be posting dog pictures and talking about the Tonys right now instead of crying and wondering when our democracy will breathe its last breath

It's so weird when people can't tell they're the villains in the story. People wake up like "doo da doo time to put on my ski mask and cover my badge number like a hero would." "I'm not wrong, it's the crying family I'm tearing apart that is the problem."

The absolute insanity of purposefully aiming and attacking press. Not that anything would come of it but charges should get pressed. There need to be consequences for the blatant disregard these officers are displaying

It doesn’t matter to Trump that Pete Hegseth endangered U.S. armed forces by sharing attack plans with his wife, his brother and a journalist. It matters to Trump that Hegseth is willing to order American troops to attack American civilians. That’s why Hegseth is there.

The horrific murder of Jonathan Joss is a reminder of how dangerous it still is for Queer people. Even more so for Queer Indigenous people and other Queer POC. We are at war with a system, an administration, an ideology that seeks to destroy us. We will not go silently. That is Pride.

She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.

Mitch McConnell, a polio survivor who may suffer from post-polio syndrome, is going to have to go his grave knowing that he personally ushered in the return of vaccine-preventable diseases. You should’ve impeached him, Mitch.

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears. Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak. They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent. This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

Everyone in America needs to be alarmed when due process is ignored. Without it, you can’t appeal. You can't prove who you are, just like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Even if you’re a citizen, you are now guilty of whatever crime they have labeled you guilty of. No one is safe under fascism.

My hope is that y'all will note all the people who turned out in the states you so callously mock and label deserving of this suffering. Even in the smallest of towns, people showed up because they hate this man.

Thurmond's filibuster was performative. He read from the Encyclopedia. Cruz's filibuster was performative. He read from Dr. Seuss. Cory Booker spoke issues and history and people's needs for over 24 hours. Nothing performative. He may have just started to pull us out of this mire.

Sen. Cory Booker—a Black man—just BROKE segregationist Strom Thurmond's record for longest floor speech in US Senate history. Thurmond spoke for 24 hours 18 minutes in opposition to civil rights. Booker has now spoken for 24 hours and 19 minutes against Trump's abuses against Americans' rights.

"There's a room here in the Senate named after Strom Thurmond... I'm here despite his speech, I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful." -Cory Booker as he eclipses Thurmond's record for the longest filibuster in US history.
