If you're not ok with sending a Nigerian prince your personal and private information, why would you be ok with a South African oligarch barging into government offices and stealing it?

Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From ‘biggest crowd ever’ to ‘normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

US Navy drops anti-harassment safety policy the day Pete Hegseth gets confirmed as Secretary of Defense. It was never just about "DEI"

They really confirmed a JOKE to be secretary of defense. So much for Republicans caring about the military. If they truly did, they would’ve gotten someone more qualified. Ngl, mad dog Mattis was a good pick from his first term. This is embarrassing for the DoD & our nation.

For 25 years Matthew Shepard had no permanent resting place due to concerns his grave would be vandalized. When Rev. Mariann Budde learned of this, she invited the Shepards to inter their son inside the Washington National Cathedral. This is human decency. www.matthewshepard.org/matthew-shep...

I remember when advocating for mercy and compassion was considered Christian. Now it's considered radical ideology.

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

Coca-Cola shrank its 2 liters bottle to 1.75 liters. Kraft decreased Toblerone bars from 200 grams to 170. Tetley tea bags boxes are now 88 instead of 100 & Nestlé's After 8 Mint Thins 170g not 200g, yet the prices didn't decrease. Greedflation! http://dlvr.it/THSJn0

In times like these, all we’re gonna have is each other. We need to create tighten net communities both in person and online. These next four years are going to be rough. The Democrats (for the most part) see most of the problems but their tactics are trash. We must be active in our communities.

Trump is set to pardon 1,000 of the traitors that stormed capitol hill; US democrats and republicans are set to ignore the constitution and allow Trump to take power. The US will officially come under full Chinese and Russian control when Trump is inaugurated.

Ever notice when you go to check out for tickets to a Vikings game or a Taylor Swift concert, the price you pay is so much higher than advertised? Mysterious fees from online sellers continue to make tickets more expensive. Starting January 1, we’re banning those junk fees.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

81 Democrats voted against trans healthcare for military youth. One of the 81 votes was democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries. It disappoints me that Hakeem is one of the people who voted for this knowing this would be in there. We have to hold the our party accountable or reject them.
