I keep puzzling over how Rubio thinks it'll bring PROSPERITY to kidnap gay hairdressers based on their tattoos & then pay $20K/year to detain them in a slave camp. We could have spent that $6M on supporting trade with Congo instead, but Rubio has decided torture is better for profits?

Millions of us have worked all our lives, and many still can’t retire. and this criminal nontax paying grifter invokes religious dogma on Sundays and lives in a mansion, has luxury cars and private jets. What God condones this Bull 💩?

Eugenicists are so stupid.

Sanders: We’ve got a president of the United States who— Crowd: Boooo Sanders: I agree

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

This is wild…

Seventeen. Three. Twenty-eight. Thirty-six. Eleven.

An estimated 15,000 people are at the Fighting Oligarchy rally with AOC and Bernie Sanders in Los Angeles today. Amazing!

AOC: And his whole presidency began with launching tools for bribery, meme coins to fleece working people and move around money in the dark, extortion settlements from media companies and law firms who gladly pay them

How it started // How it’s going

HAPPENING NOW: The Justice Department has missed a 5pm deadline to file details about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's whereabouts and efforts to comply with a judge's otder to facilitate his return. Still waiting to see if they're just a few minutes behind or not planning to file at all

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

I repeat: there’s no such thing as “just a cold”. The flu is even worse. Then there’s COVID. sambadenglish.com/miscellany/h...

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

A witch hunt is underway. We’ve faced many before. Take a breath. Stay grounded.

If you're in congress and you aren't publicly in favor of banning the trading of individual stocks by people in congress, get your head out of your fucking ass.

This is a very big deal. Trump is systematically dismantling the protections against foreign (e.g. Russian) interference in our elections.

100,000+ people marched at the #HandsOff rally in New York!

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

Redate this to today and it becomes a stunning moment of self-realization we will never actually experience in this space-time continuum
