Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazine’s Women of the Year. Amanda’s Story: Citing the state’s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Her…

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Dan Crenshaw: "There is absolutely no way that Donald Trump will be seen -- he will not let himself go down in history as having sold out to Putin. He will not let that happen." (Bookmark this one.)

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

Challenge: pick an invention(s) from this list and mention in random conversations that the inventor is a Black American.

BAHAHA!

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich. How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

'Etcetera' is pronounced "et-SET-uh-ruh." There is no other word in the English language that begins with \et-set\. This is probably why many people (not you, of course) pronounce it “ecsetera” or “excetera.”

I never understood the musicians playing music while the Titanic sank. Now I do.

Good morning!

Ooo this is a good one ☺️

Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms and businesses. U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

Donold’s supporters don’t care if they lose their jobs or their freedom as long as he is performatively ‘owning the libs.’ That’s how much they have been taught to hate you.

The only immigrant trying to destroy the country.

Every day is Christmas for Putin now.

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

How is there not a single Democrat Senator or Representative who has stepped up over an entire weekend where Elon Musk is clearly unwinding American democracy inside US govt buildings???

REAGAN: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies… beware of demagogues ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, national security, and the entire free world—while cynically waving the 🇺🇸 flag.” Trump’s bad ideas are not new.

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

. @aoc.bsky.social on the dangers of a newly normalized Trump and his billionaire feeding frenzy. New pod out now! #JonStewart #TheWeeklyShow

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

a short thread of Nicolas Cage resembling various philosophers 1. Spinoza

Easily the best description of him I’ve ever read.

1. Yesterday, Elon Musk — who for some reason is in charge of deciding what federal government programs are unnecessary — declared that the concept of homelessness is a "lie" and "propaganda." Musk needs to educate himself. Starting with five basic facts. 🧵

When you think he can’t be more asinine and utterly ignorant of basic constitutional knowledge, he manages to one-up himself. Why would democrats want to eliminate the popular vote they win 9 times out of 10? How many will soon regret electing this dimwit to lead our nation?

this is so perfect youve gotta think it was intentional

Oh, every cop in the country in jail, you say? Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Can't stress this enough: Democrats need to eject the Scarboroughs and Cheneys from the movement, embrace the AOCs, Warrens and Crocketts, then decide what they stand for, dig a foxhole and defend it to the end.

Since Biden has already "destroyed his legacy," today is a perfect day to issue preemptive pardons for: Jack Smith Kamala Harris Anthony Fauci Leticia James Fani Willis Mark Milley Adam Kinzinger Liz Cheney Adam Schiff All the generals who led the Afghanistan withdrawal Juan Merchan Alvin Bragg
