I had to bring this here because it’s so good

So disappointed. My congressman Jim Hines voted to censor Al Green alonf with the Republicans. He wants decorum. That time has passed. When the administration stops lying and hurting people then maybe decorum can return. Jim Himes be angry and fight for us. You have lost my vote.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

A trifecta.

. Trump's America . . . ... without words 💠 😔 💠

What are your thoughts about this? 👇 Very. Powerful. Imagery.

George will be on The Reidout tonight and yes, I have questions for him on this... Hope to see y'all at 7pm ET!

Another example for the folks who don’t quite get that white privilege exists

After Kristen Welker let National Security Adviser Michael Waltz lie and evade on NBC's "Meet the Press," she wound up her interview by asking him for his Super Bowl pick. That's how you normalize fascists and tell them you're friendly enough that they can come back later and lie some more.

Is it true that USAID purchases 2 billion dollars of produce from American farmers that was just eliminated?

Just something sweet to see in these very dark times.

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Hitler toppled the government in 53 days. Is Trump trying to beat his record?

. Hey people who vote "NO" for Kamala over Palestine . . . ... FACK YOU ALL ! Trump will "Make Gaza beautiful again" . . . without Palestinians... 💠 🫣 😔 😠 💠

I can see it now. First you build hotels in Gaza. Then of course you go to the Ukraine. Find nothing but the best land and rebuild. .. You can train the staff at Mar a Lago ....

. Hey America, 💠 👊 💠

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

KEEP SHOUTING!!! This is F@Cked.

. Well, Democracy dies NOT in darkness . . . ... Democracy in America is dying before our eyes . . . ... and in record time. 💠 😔 💠

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Remember: The tariffs aren’t about economics, and DOGE isn’t about fiscal responsibility. They are both about ••psychopathology**.

Just because it is in plain sight does not mean it is not what it is: A hostile takeover of the U.S. government by an unelected and unfettered power monger. Believe what you see, do not see what you believe.

. Hey MAGAts and Trumpers, THIS is Trump ! 💠 🧐 💠

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

We are reverting back to the country that condoned slavery, indigenous people genocide,the incarceration of the Japanese. All of our good angels seem to have fled the scene.

Deleted after 20 minutes but this is the mindset. It’s what is said in private among themselves. This is how they think about the rest of the world. No one is considered an ally. There will be no discussion.
