You can’t preach love on Sunday and cruelty on Tuesday. The cross is not a flagpole.

It made me incredibly sad to think about. I'm still thinking about it weeks later. How polarizing our political and media landscape has become. Faux news convincing people I love that I'm a criminal bc of who I voted for. How do we overcome this? 3/end

I thought about my family who are pretty drunk on the koolaid and spew Faux news talking points at regular intervals. Could I walk away from them too? And then I thought. What if the same was asked of my Maga family and friends? What would they do? Would they take the money and run? 2/

A few weeks ago at the other place, I saw a post querying the following- what if you could be paid 10k per week for life but could no longer communicate w Maga family and friends. Would you do it? I thought about all the people I know and love here in my Red state who fit in that description 1/

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter. Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them. Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

This is how the world views the US. Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."

I really appreciate the way this AP article is written to explain how unusual Trump's power grab is. This is a good article to share with family & friends who aren't news obsessed, but wonder wft is going on right now. apnews.com/article/trum...

Matthew Kacsmaryk ruled today that Kansas, Idaho, and Missouri can continue this lawsuit in Texas even though they have no ties to Texas. I would have thought they would have just asked Texas to jump in, but why bother when Trump judges will just do whatever they feel like it. More info below:

Take a seat for this one. Tomorrow marks the January 6 anniversary, and last night at Mar-a-Lago, Trump hosted a reunion of the coup attempt architects and election denier masterminds. They even screened The Eastman Dilemma—a documentary celebrating John Eastman’s efforts to keep Trump in power.

Where were you when Elon Musk single-handedly shut down the government in late 2024 because he bought it and it's his now? I bet we'll remember this with a smile in 2040 when we're living in the Matrix-like virtual prison Musk mentor Curtis Yarvin is building to enslave all "non-productive" people

Dems are the opposition party so we need to act like it. Make this our mantra… “If you don’t like anything…that’s going on in this country at least in the next two years, Democrats are not involved….this is on Republicans. If you don’t like it, you need to look at them.” @joyannreid.bsky.social
