Canada picked a guy with a PhD in economics from Oxford. Mexico chose a woman with a degree in physics and a PhD in energy engineering. The U.S. handed the job to a carnival-barking senior citizen, with multiple felonies and six bankruptcies under his belt.

nice to see people move from “we shouldn’t send the good Americans to the El Salvador torture prison” to “we should send no American to the El Salvador torture prison” but I need a little more, no-one should be in that torture prison, it shouldn’t exist

to the very limited extent that there's any hope for "America" as a state project, I suspect it hinges on not letting those Abundance people trick people into thinking "zoning reform" is what the New Deal was

MTG's husband berated three Muslim women in Georgia and told them they were worshipping a false god... All four people involved in this debacle worship the God of Abraham. They just have different nicknames for him...

My mother texted me about protesting tomorrow. Her first vote was for Reagan. Obama first Dem she ever voted for. She’s more politically engaged than I’ve ever seen her - honestly a bit shook at how fired up she is. Gives me some hope.

The idea that the federal government can go before a judge and say, “Yeah we arrested the wrong guy, but too bad, so sad” is not alarming nearly enough people yet.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

The Trump administration is going to do something I didn’t think was possible: It’s going to de-cringe Pride. Talking to people who haven't gone to Pride for years... or ever... and they're all going, and they're all in "Stonewall was a riot" frames of mind.

Trump’s already in negative approval by about 3-4 points. Stock market crash should be good for a solid 5(at min). Finally ‘owning’ the economy a good 2-3. Them just the slow burn all presidents face, about half point a month. But increase that due to the now certain stagflation. Neg 20 by midterms!

Every story you tell chips away at the walls of ignorance. Every film, every post, every song, every share, every article becomes a spark in the darkness, lighting the way forward. LGBTQ stories have been a revolution and they will outlive every attempt to silence us. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Folks, this is what the constitution was built for. Granted the founders imagined it was to prevent an abolitionist from assuming tyrannical power, but a spade’s a spade. In a parliamentary monarchy you might not get to vote again for 5 years. Less than 2 until BLUE TSUNAMI

Somehow all of us who teach are supposed to go to work tomorrow and stand in front of a room of people who hate school and hate reading and hate learning, and we’re supposed to pretend like anything we do or say matters in a country that also hates education.

It seem insane for a US Senator to say we've all been subjected to "a relentless bombardment of Marxist propaganda." But what he means by this is 1) there was a Burger King ad with an interracial couple and 2) Star Wars Episodes VII-IX had a female lead.

People in this Democratic Party volunteers Slack I belong to are losing their minds over the Senate vote right now. Middle-aged normies who've volunteered in their local parties of years are talking about primary challenges and withholding donations. Blue Tea Party is gonna be big.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.
