I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

When they do finally express that they may have been wrong about Trump and that they are afraid, it certainly doesn’t help that people lash out in anger with, “no one cares how you feel! You helped create this mess!” If we want Trumpism to die, we have to help people leave it and welcome them.

Books.

Trump is breaking the law. How is that not in the headline?

When your postal vote arrives, vote Liberal Democrat to elect strong local champions, who will fight for a fair deal for your and your community.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but historically the institutions who stood up to dictators are the ones that are historically remembered well.

"This isn't a battle of your choosing. But it is the battle for which you will always be judged. This is the moment you must show the world and history which side of the Edmund Pettis Bridge you are standing on." - Stuart Stevens

We must expect and demand that the executive branch follow the law. We must expect and demand that the executive branch comply with court orders. To expect and demand anything less is a form of obeying in advance. Defeatism is a form of surrender.

That was literally my first thought!! Why are they even wasting time on this?

Look at this gorgeous fellow who flew up to the railing next to my car as I was waiting to pick my daughter up from uni. I only had my phone, but had to take a snap. #birds #photography

I largely disagree with Lisa Murkowski on political issues, but getting up on stage and openly talking about her fear of Donald Trump’s revenge is incredibly brave. This nightmare will never end unless it’s increasingly publicly named. By Republicans.

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski publicly admitting she fears retaliation is a step in the right direction. Do not lash out at her. She needs encouragement to speak out more, not demands for her to quit. She needs to be one of the Senators who finally has enough and impeaches the bastard.

Correct. Arrest him and throw him in jail before he causes any more harm.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Impeach Trump NOW and throw the bastard in jail.

A symbol of arrogance is assuming that anyone who disagrees with you is ignorant. Humility is more than knowing the limits of your knowledge. It’s also about respecting others' knowledge. Dissenters aren't necessarily uninformed. Differing views often stem from diverging values.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

The second most spoken language in each London borough.

Get ready for protests across the United States.

Gee, who won the 1980 election, and what did he do to government regulations, I wonder 🤔

If masks are gonna be banned at college protests then ICE agents shouldn't get to hide behind them either.

Michael Waltz had TWENTY group chats exposing America's most sensitive military secrets??!!? Sounds like we need TWENTY articles of impeachment to remove Waltz from office
