There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

“The Trumpists are no longer in their majesty. They control the executive, the Parliament, the Supreme Court and social networks. But in American history, the freedom fighters have always prevailed. They are beginning to raise their heads.” — Claude Malhuret, to the French Senate (March 4, 2025).

On Intl Women’s Day I honor the fierce Ukrainian woman who confronted the 🇷🇺 soldiers invading her land w/ breathtaking bravery. “What the fuck are you doing on our land with all these guns? Take these seeds and put them in your pockets so at least sunflowers will grow when you all lie down here.”

Now that English is the official language of the United States, I look forward to everyone understanding the difference between “your” and “you’re,” “their” and “they’re,” and “to,” “two” and “too.”

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.

People making a big deal out of Michelle Obama not attending Donald Trump's inauguration seemed not to mind when an outgoing president, Donald Trump, refused to attend the inauguration of the incoming president, Joe Biden, thereby undermining the ceremonial transfer of power between presidents.

My own version of the Bechdel test: In a movie or tv show, how often is “woman applying lotion while getting ready for bed and having a serious conversation with her husband/boyfriend/partner” used as shorthand for her personality?” It’s a LOT, folks! Anyone else pay attention to this???

📌"In the shadow of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — led in part by veterans — law enforcement officials said the threat from domestic violent extremists was one of the most persistent and pressing terror threats to the U.S." 📌As a vet, I want to add this clarification: TRUMP led that attack.

Watching President Biden give a compassionate, unifying message to the city of New Orleans and the nation, it's another reminder what a tragedy it is that we're going from a decent human being with empathy—to a vulgar, ignorant sociopath. What a disaster.

Democrats cannot continue to be the party of the status quo. People are fed up with politics as usual, so much so they voted for a human wrecking ball. Be bold. Think outside the box. Ditch conventional thinking and outdated norms. Let go of preconceived notions. Our future depends on it.

Reminder: The House republicans against releasing the Gaetz ethics report because it violates his rights as a private citizen, are the same Republicans who made posters of Hunter Biden's schlong and forced everyone to watch for months on end.

Biden pardoning Hunter should be a one day story. Therefore, I won't be discussing it after today. If you guys agree, we can probably make this happen if we all just stop after today.

If I was President and saw the country elect a felon and a rapist as president and appoint felons and rapists to his cabinet you better bet I’d also pardon my son. They ain’t in jail, why should he?

Good. I’m so tired of watching this loving Dad and honorable man uphold “norms” over and over again when everything is burning down around us. Good for him. I hope he wields his power on all our behalf every way he can in the next 6 weeks to protect as many of us as he can.
