I know I personally used to think of universities as bastions of free speech. So often college students opened the eyes of our nation. They sometimes risked personal freedoms from government, but not their university/college. Was it Peter Paul and Mary who sang "Where has all the integrity gone?"

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

Tariff hikes mean higher costs for American companies—and they’re not just going to eat all the losses. Some are getting creative.🔥 *CEO adds surcharge to sexual wellness products from China and calls it a “Trump Tariff Surcharge.”

I'm here in SC 30 minutes away from Augusta National, with the practice rounds beginning next Monday. Seems like a good time for wishes to our golfing Orange Turd

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

So...I don't get FOX News, and wouldn't watch it if I did. I'll have to rely on others to inform me. How is FOX reporting the Turd's disrespect of the military service members? Giving it more weight than when Biden "checked his watch?" And do they mention that each round of golf costs millions?

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

A powerful way to RESIST KKKristian Nationalism is for CHRISTIANS to come out LOUDLY AGAINST IT. And for the TRUE Christians to PLEASE STAND UP! Hey all you LOVING, FOLLOWERS OF JESUS, where you at?! LMK IF YOU SEE THIS.

Even most Repugnantcans know Trump is an idiot (I think). His Wharton professors have said as much. He has declared bankruptcies SIX times. Whoa, must be a business genius. So why pray tell does ANYONE think that the Orange Turd knows ANYTHING about the economy?

Breaking: Cory Booker has officially delivered the longest Senate floor speech in US history, surpassing Strom Thurmond’s filibuster against the Civil Rights Act.

Cory Booker ending his record-breaking speech on the Senate floor: “Let's get in good trouble." What a fantastic way to cap off his epic 25 hour and 5 minute speech. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Damn...does that mean I have to restore at least a tiny bit of my faith in democracy? ON WISCONSIN!!!!!

and you know? I have to echo this statement/sentiment. I think about it A LOT. Surely all these fine folks of faith can't be hypocrites, can they? Can't all be racist, bigoted, homophobic, and greedy, right? They live by WWJD, correct? But I realize they have no clue WWJD. They are Repugnantcans

Damn...it almost sounds like a political party comprised largely of OLD WHITE MALES that constantly decries the same message..."We are SO maligned! Why are we hated for being so superior?!" I wonder if there is any overlap here between religion and politics?

I love this stat almost as much as I hate these two sub-humans. FYI, for me, to be "human" you need to have empathy and reason--the Trump/Musk hypocrite twins don't qualify.

In 2022, 10.9 million undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in taxes. Combined, they contributed more than Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and 55 mega-corporations.

Not a historian, but to my knowledge, this is the first time a sitting US Senator — or member of Congress, generally — or perhaps any senior US gov’t official — has included an f-bomb in an official press release. www.duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-r...

The courts and our allies are all the hope we have now. Congressional Repugnantcans have no moral compass, no ethics, no decency, no obligation to their Constitutional Oath. IN Deep Red SC I have Graham, Scott, and Wilson. Collectively their "Integrity Quotient" is negative. Below zero. Off scale.

And they aren't just "simply wrong." They are hypocritically wrong. Ethically bereft. Morally bankrupt. They are, very simply, LIARS.
