The very idea that a president would imagine himself to be a king is fundamentally un-American. We fought the Revolutionary war about it. Imagine if Obama posted imagery of himself dressed up in a crown. Republicans would have burned the White House to the ground.

Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Viktor Orban, Adolf Hitler, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un: What do they have in common? All of these authoritarians have drawn praise from Trump. He loves dictators. This also proves he was insincere when he called Zelensky a dictator. He would idolize him instead.

With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil – that takes religion.

I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age and same height, but she can sing better. We also share the same values, including that every child should have the chance to dream big and succeed. Indiana Republicans should reverse these cuts. www.huffpost.com/entry/indian...

This week was rough. I thought about just retreating. But then I remembered that my ancestors who were enslaved people, the Civil Rights Leaders, The Freedom Fighters, The Freedom Riders, The Women of the Suffrage Movement didn't give up. How dare I even consider it. Im in. Are you? #resist

Trump's Approval Rating Slips as Americans Worry About the Economy. Trump already had the lowest presidential rating for a first month in office since 1953. usnews.com/news/top-new... People will figure it out, this term is about revenge and stuffing his pockets; everyone else is part of the scam.

MAGA, MAGA, what the fuck do you stand for? White supremacy, Nazi dreams, with Hitler's speeches at his door, Permission to hate, a structure of evil and shit, Trump's legacy, a violent, disgusting pit, new York New York suno.com/song/e3e18be...

A commonly used Republican strategy!!!

The Federal Emergency Management Agency will become the Federal Emergency Thoughts and Prayers Agency. The government will no longer work against God's will but asking nicely for God's mercy on your devastated neighborhood is acceptable.

How many USAID programs could have been funded by the cost of the felon president's trips to the Superbowl and Daytona 500. We must demand he pay his own leisure expenses and he must pay back the tax payers for those trips. The billionaires can afford to pay their own way.

As protests grow larger and louder it is time to prepare for a martial law declaration. Democrat leaders need to set up community meet and greets with the national guard all over the country and make sure there will be no violence from either side once the order is officially made.

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Republicans are feeling the heat and trying to squirm away from Musk's unpopular cuts. Don't let them.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Sláva Ukrayíni!

"In for a kopek, in for a ruble. That seems to be Donald Trump’s modus operandi. Only a week after his phone call with Russia’s leader, Trump’s gone all-in on a pro–Vladimir Putin foreign policy." www.thebulwark.com/p/to-russia-...

They plan to dismantle our democracy at every level.

We the people are being insulted by the Golfer in Chief!!!

Another day (not) at the office.

BREAKING: Trump’s approval rating collapses. Only 37% of independents approve of Trump’s performance as President. America is rejecting Trump — and the more people realize how badly he’s doing, the worse his numbers will get.

"He’s now attacking its elected leader as a dictator. His national security adviser is portraying Zelensky as the obstacle to peace...All of this is a prelude to blaming Zelensky for the failure to attain a negotiated peace, and to abandoning Ukraine." www.thebulwark.com/p/to-russia-...

I’ve seen some strong senators and governors getting vocal about the orange stain today. I think we will see much more pushback going forward. Even Pence stepped up to publicly reprimand Trump today. We need strong leaders.
