If tRump really believed Zelenskyy was a dictator…

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

It's okay to cry. It's okay to be tired. But it's not okay to think you're not important. Because you are. You are a gift to this world, even if it feels cold right now.

Turns out the Dow doesn’t love it

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

This is how many hours per week a person needs to work in order to escape poverty. The US is dead last. #Poverty #USA

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

This makes so much sense

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame

Good morning America...💙

Russia launched an unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022. Since then, thousands of Ukrainians have perished. Entire towns and cities reduced to rubble. It will take them decades to recover, if at all. For Trump to casually flip the narrative via tweet is beyond disgusting.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

My best investment advice

Critical thinking skills are necessary for all

Where are all the Dem consultants who supposedly do "comms" work at? Where's the website put together with succinct talking points, one pagers, posters that folks can easily download, print and pass out in their communities? Why aren't they doing this work PRO-BONO?

TRUMP IS NOT A KING MUSK IS NOT PRESIDENT DOGE IS ILLEGAL #FireMusk #DumpTrump #DOGEMustGo

Planes didn't crash when this guy ran things.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

Not even once.

YUP!

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

At 4am in Riyadh, they put out this statement. 👇

Where the hell is Lin-Manuel Miranda? Why isn’t he, in full costume, outside the Treasury Department, right now, RAPPING?!

The Proud Boys organization no longer controls the trademark, “Proud Boys”, and is now “barred from selling any merchandise with either its name or its symbols without the consent of a Black church in Washington that its members vandalized.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

They tried to erase history. We loudly said "Hell no." They folded. We should say "Hell no" a lot more.

I don't think we can share the side-by-side of Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute next to Nazis doing the Nazi salute enough.

Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, grifting and lying trump will be pardoning January 6th attackers today, on inauguration day. A disgusting skidmark for the office of the President, and for America as a whole. Just awful.
