Mostly political account with occasional non-political stuff for balance. Calling out and pushing back against fascism. Don't feel obligated to follow me if I follow you.

🛑 STOP THE PARADE. Call Senators and Representatives 202-224-3121. Tell them to stop the military parade.

RFK Jr. went on Fox News and lied through his teeth. He said they weren’t cutting critical research. Terminated grants so far have included studies on cancer, Alzheimer’s, HIV, and tuberculosis. Ohio researchers lost funding for kidney disease and TB projects. This guy doesn’t care about health.

seems like the administration is objectively pro plane crash www.washingtonpost.com/transportati...

I think we get used to stuff, like the proverbial frog in the pot, and lose track of how absolutely humiliating it is to have a belligerent, altered buffoon representing our nation and spewing gibberish on the world stage. But sitting him next to a normal person brings it home.

The Prime Minister of a sovereign country came to the United States today and actually had to tell the President of the United States - to his face - that his sovereign country wasn’t for sale. And would never be for sale. That actually happened today.

Trump will host a private dinner later this month for the top buyers of his memecoin, which has made him the world's newest crypto billionaire. The top 25 coin buyers will get a "VIP White House tour." Call it what it is: corruption.

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election. Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

So, if I get killed invading this White House, will my family get $30 million too?

By definition: if you are arresting someone at the Courthouse, they are law abiding. Show up for an appointment, get arrested? Is that who we really want to deport?

NEW: Tulsi Gabbard, now the US director of national intelligence, used the same easily cracked password for different online accounts including a personal Gmail account and Dropbox over a period of years, leaked records reviewed by WIRED reveal.

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

I keep my head down and turn out good work and I just barely made rent this month, but a lady calls a kid the n-word at a playground and she raises a half-million dollars in a week. I don't get the world, and I don't like it. We are surrounded by rotten dogshit assholes and they're thriving.

You know that Twilight Zone episode where the kid has amazing psychic powers and can make people disappear with his mind and the entire town is hostage to him and has to cater to his every whim? That’s us right now.

we need to talk about the pathological culture of hate that millions of americans raise their children in

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Sovereignty beats Journalism. Oh what an omen. 🇺🇸

-Dropped or halted investigations into 100+ corporations -Gutted regulatory agencies and fired ethics watchdogs -Launched a crypto coin and offered an "intimate dinner" to top buyers -Turned the White House into a Tesla showroom to help his biggest donor "Drain the swamp."

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."

“MSNBC correspondent Tom Costello claimed Friday that an air traffic controller who ‘handles airspace’ at the Newark, NJ, airport gave him some ‘rather concerning and startling information’ about public safety: ‘It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public.’”

Trump has ordered criminal investigations into more than 50 federal employees so far, including former intelligence officials, political rivals, and even members of his own administration. He has declared some “guilty of treason,”

Very Easy To Agree! You?😊💙

And you thought the left was censorious. How about actual censoring?

Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world
