AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

None of these fucking anti-trans sports jags will say a goddam thing about money interests, which are a fucking THOUSAND times more of a problem than gender. Your kid losing is FAR more likely to be a result of a better funded opponent than fucking hormones.

CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

"We made up hateful bullshit and were called on it."

it is funny how many people affiliated with the secret police have had to say "stop making fun of the secret police, the guy in the tac vest that covers him like a training bra is a hero, he tracked down and subdued two hospice orderlies using only the W-2 forms they file annually"

This is one of many reasons I can't stand centrist Dems anymore. As a younger liberal progressive I didn't think the divide was so vast but these days? Centrist and mainstream Dems are fucking cowards hiding behind bullshit "pragmatism" and swallowing right-wing lies about "real" Americans. Fuck em.

"Defending trans kids is bad! I know because the newspaper I'm writing for said it! And if it's good enough for the New York Ti- Sorry. Hold on, I gotta eat this snake tail..."

Ask your doctor what treatment the supreme court decided is right for you.

This sex pest cannot be allowed a renewed political career.

Powerfully hits the xenophobic nerves…

All confrontation from trans activists is in response to misinformation, disinformation, confrontation from a dozen different directions... This is prime "Why are you hitting yourself?" bullshit.

It's almost like they're disingenuous!

If I'm wrong please correct me but I'm seeing a lot of talk from politicians decrying political violence. Okay, I get that. But it's coming from both parties and I'm sorry wtf are you GOP shitbags talking about? It is YOUR fucking constituents 99.999% of the time! YOU fuckers foment this CONSTANTLY!

“How convenient, @GovBillLee & Tre Hargett.” Eric points out Tennessee *coincidentally* shut down voter registration the same weekend as the massive #NoKingsDay turnout. TN Republicans stay making Voter suppression an art form. Video: www.instagram.com/reel/DK560dq...

I would've gone with monkey's paw but same idea.

I've been seeing footage from various No Kings gatherings and... yeah. I would call this sad if I wasn't gleeful.

Tangentially related, Noem has made a habit of cosplaying as a badass. Like most law enforcement shitbags, she's actually a fucking coward.

Excited to see that black people performing country music are only eligible for 3/5ths of a Grammy

Hey Kristi, where was your tactical gear and gun when the scawy bwown man (AKA a sitting member of Congress whose face and name you really should know) had the nerve to ask you questions? Did you even *try* to power pose in front of him while he was cuffed? Where was the cosplay Tough Grrrl?

"They're taking our jobs!" "Their low wages keep my wages low!" Hey gang, talk to your bosses maybe. THEY make the hiring and pay decisions.

The country sucks right now. Have some puppies. youtu.be/DeFVn6-ZE40?...

I 100% stole it from Aussies or New Zealanders. I *think* it was Flight of the Conchords originally? And then reinforced by Claudia O'Doherty? And maybe that one joke by Maria Bamford?
