Dominic Cooper is a handsome man. #TheDutchess

The racist, xenophobic, fascist was nice to me...

If you're the least bit surprised that Bill Maher is working overtime to humanize the fascist in the White House, you're telling every Black & brown person over the last 25 years that you've ignored us as we've called out Maher's grotesque xenophobia. Glad to know our lived experiences don't matter.

Bill Maher is just a bloviating asshole with a TV show. #ProveMeWrong

Exactly. Privileged, overbearing, arrogant prick.

Nope.

Ain't no Christ in some "Christians".

Establishment Democrats aren't made for this moment or fight. #Project2025 #AP #SAVEact #DOGE #Khalil

The riper, the sweeter. How it supposed to be. 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾

#OTD in 1968, days after my father was assassinated, Congress passed the Fair Housing Act. It outlawed housing discrimination and redefined what justice looks like. But 57 years later, the racial homeownership gap is wider than it was then. We must turn promises into policy.

Not a fan Kirkland brand Almonds. Tough as hell. Ewww

Judge Xixnis should hold every DOJ Attorney in contempt of court until Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is back on U.S. soil.

If they can try to strip Mahmoud Khalil—Green Card holder—of his permanent residency status for protesting US policy, we all should be alarmed and outraged. Marco Rubio is a disgrace. abc11.com/post/mahmoud...

Not qWhite.

You don't have the right to look away.

"Our parents are actively fighting for our country for us to be able to have these rights" www.military.com/daily-news/2...

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech. The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

Born April 10, 1822, James Monroe Whitfield was a fearless abolitionist who used poetry to expose the hypocrisy of a nation built on slavery. His words had the power to influence, and his legacy is being etched across the pages of time. 132 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

"A federal court ruled in favor of the FTC in 2024, saying Prevagen's claims aren't backed by scientific evidence and that some of its claims are misleading. Now its makers are prohibited from making such claims, and they've been removed from the product's marketing". www.webmd.com/healthy-agin...

Marco Rubio should be on Air Force One to El Salvador. Now!

The same way they paid that corrupt government to take people, they can pay to have them release him. Money talks. Send in Seal Team 6 for reinforcement.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Creepy

The "freight train" coming for the separation of church and state is receiving scant coverage. Before I left my job at POLITICO, I was heavily researching the case at the center of it all -- started in Oklahoma. Justice Barrett's good friend helped seed it, which I reported. I have more to share 👇

The awards, which come with a $50K purse, have helped launch the writing careers of many now well-known authors, including Colson Whitehead, Ocean Vuong, Alice McDermott and Jia Tolentino.

GREAT VIEWING. WATCH Chris Murphy sound alarm about Felon-in-Chief's attack on Colleges/Universities, Media, Free Speech, Lawfirms and other private businesses (tarrifs). (19 MINS) youtu.be/S_F1ECSSEH8

I know $7.25 an hour isn’t just low—it’s unlivable. That’s why I helped introduce the Raise the Wage Act with Bernie Sanders to boost the minimum wage to at least $17 an hour and support the families who keep our communities running.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity was beating that drum before Fox. Reagan's welfare queen was about lazy Blacks who didn't want to work. Democrats never challenged that notion substantially. Republicans never changed their tune. Poor whites will be further harmed. #FAFO

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

"Prolife", "Christians". #WWJD

The federal minimum wage is currently $7.25/hr. That is unconscionable. It’s time we raise the minimum age to $17/hr.

If you can't afford to pay employee livable wage, you shouldn't be in business. Expecting people to work for poverty wage in betterment of your life is exploitation. Only thing worst is slave labor. Y'all would take it if you could get it.

Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.
