That's "Sir Cockwomble" to you!

Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes youtu.be/1q82twrdr0U?...

Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea, literally washed his hands of any responsibility in the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. 2,000 years later, 2.2 billion Christians around the world attest, "He suffered under Pontius Pilate." Take note, tyrants and despots! History will not be kind. #HolyWeek

The Turd Reich of Trump & Musk A #teachablemoment! There is a pearl of great price buried in the Trump Toilet, especially if you have children. The most powerful human in history cannot fake bravery. The richest person in all the world cannot buy integrity. Neither one can control the truth.

"THE GOLDEN AGE OF STUPID" It really would be such a shame if this Canadian jab at SCROTUS went viral af. SKEETS, you know what to do! apple.news/AEWk0WhAwTqC...

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

PSA from 60s protester: there's buzz on various platforms that right-wing goons plan to disrupt April 19 #HANDSOFF MARCH 2.0 with violence to give a pretense for #MARTIALLAW Resisters: isolate, denounce, surround troublemakers! VIDEO their actions/faces Cops might also try to provoke or instigate.

You mean THIS one?

Alas, Stable Genius has no idea what "venality", "turpitude" or "demagogue" mean.

Trump has "Tourette's By Proxy"!

Crockett: It has taken Texas’ largest measles outbreak in 30 years with more than 500 confirmed cases and the deaths of two children for the secretary of health and human services to say what we already knew. The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the vaccin

The NEXT mobilization against the incompetent, inhumane, unAmerican, racist Trump/Musk cabal is scheduled for April 19, 2025. Keep up #RESISTING!

Welcome to Zen #Trumpism. 1) He's lying again 2) He's telling the truth, which makes him A) Evil B) An idiot C) An evil idiot 3) We know but support him, making us See A, B, C 4) He doesn't know what the hell he's doing A) He doesn't know that he doesn't know

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

All are created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.... #revolution
