No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Rubio may have built his entire career around righteous opposition to autocrats abroad. Now, however, he’s discovered that what’s really best is for America to “take advantage of this incredible opportunity to partner with the Russians geopolitically, on issues of common interest, and economically.”

In the past week, we had Hegseth giving away key concessions before talks even began, Rubio in Saudi Arabia negotiating with Russia without Ukraine at the table, and Trump blaming Ukraine for Russia’s invasion. Putin couldn’t have written this pro-Russia script better himself.

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violence—to justify martial law. Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come. Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.

When your greatest sycophantic supporter on TV (besides Hannity) is forced to admit that you’ve gone completely off the rails. But this isn’t him talking drivel about Hannibal Lecter & windmills. These words do long term damage to alliances that have stood for decades. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump and Brain Worms just cut funding for 9/11 survivors -- and firefighters, police & first responders. A reminder that during Trump's first term he siphoned almost $4 million from 9/11 first responders fund. First he stole from them & now he cuts them off. www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-...

Why would we abandon the prosperous, democratic nations of Europe, our allies for one hundred years, to "partner" with weak, poor Russia, a longtime adversary and dictatorship currently in the middle of an unprovoked invasion of a neighboring state? Treason. It's treason
