Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

When elders can't afford to pay their bills because their Social Security check got lost and they can't talk to a government worker because Donald Trump and Elon Musk decided to cut 7,000 jobs and sell off federal buildings, ask yourself - is this "efficiency"? www.wbur.org/news/2025/04...

A heroin addict of fourteen years wants unhealthy people to be excluded from free healthcare.

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.

The billionaires intend to bankrupt as many of us as they can, buy up our property, and rent it back to us Think of it as the Red Lobster economy

This is one hundred percent a case of a man completely obsessed with the idea of tariffs being told "no, bad" by every single smart person around him, and the flip to "it's gonna cause some pain" rhetoric was when they finally got through to him. But his stupid stubborn ego won't let him back down.

I’m 35. I don’t think it’s a stretch to call this the worst American policy decision of my lifetime. By a LOT. By maybe double.

Trade war on—recession coming. He slaughtered our economy. These price hikes on goods from... Cambodia: +49% Vietnam: +46% Bangladesh: +37% Thailand: +36% China: +34% Taiwan: +32% Indonesia: +32% Switzerland: +31% South Africa: +30% India: +26% South Korea: +25% Japan: +24% Malaysia: +24% EU: +20%

FUCK YOU STROM THURMOND! 🎉🎊🎉

Sen. Strom Thurmond voted against the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, AND supported Jim Crow laws. Thurmond’s record for longest floor speech (in protest of the Civil Rights Act, no less!) was just broken by a Black man, my good friend Cory Booker. That’s America.

Imagine learning as a kid about Sen. Thurmond's filibuster record as a part of your state's history. As a South Carolinian, congratulations and thank you to @corybooker.com for changing that history.

DOWN GOES THURMOND DOWN GOES THURMOND DOWN GOES THURMOND

Cory Booker has just broken Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate filibuster ever, which stood for 68 years. Thurmond set it objecting to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Booker set it arguing against authoritarianism. May Strom's name be forgotten and his memory erased.

"There's a room here in the Senate named after Strom Thurmond... I'm here despite his speech, I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful." -Cory Booker as he eclipses Thurmond's record for the longest filibuster in US history.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states. Their finances will be turned upside

We do not have a free country in this moment. When they can nab someone off the street because they don't like what they say, they can nab anyone.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," and wants to fire thousands of workers that keep the program running. That might be easy for a billionaire to say, but Social Security is a lifeline for millions of Americans. We must fight to protect it.

I’m pro-abortion because it’s healthcare It’s mental healthcare It’s life saving And it’s our bodies.

Imagine thinking a guy who charges around $100K for a vehicle with glued on metal panels that just fall off is the one to be trusted anywhere near our government.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Dan always with words of wisdom…

Praise Jesus said the phony Christian Republican

Right now, we have an authoritarian president. He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts. Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.

Musk says what?!!! What a little weak man…

What a giant piece of shit he is. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Schoolchildren are routinely slaughtered by AR-15s. Hundreds die. [*crickets* "Thoughts and prayers" *crickets*] A couple unoccupied cars are set on fire. No one is hurt. ["THIS HORROR WILL NOT STAND!!! We MUST act to STOP it from ever happening AGAIN!!!!" We will pass new LAWS BANNING IT!!!]
