Are we the people agreeing to just welcome the aliens, because 🤷‍♂️?

I’m holding space for the lyrics of “No One Mourns the Wicked”

A backpack stuffed with Monopoly money… In a country where lives are devalued, was violence the only currency he had left to spend? #theadjuster

It took a lot of generations to climb to the middle. I wonder how quickly it all gets taken away?

I’d bet the first place investigators looked for potential suspects was United Healthcare’s recent denial records. Let that sink in: whose child died because of a bogus claim denial?

Was Anthem’s anesthesia policy shift influenced by the insurance CEO m*rder?

Ah, the faces of cowardice.

Watching the internet become anarchists overnight because of this insurance CEO vigilante justice is WILD

South Korea’s martial law is a chilling reminder of how fragile democracy is under the wrong leader. With Trump openly praising authoritarian tactics and stoking division, don’t think it can’t happen here. This is the alarm…are we paying attention?

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

Reagan planted the seeds; Trump harvested the crop. The right’s demonization of marginalized groups evolved from subtle racism to blatant extremism. It’s the same message, louder and crueler. #trump #reagan #americanpolitics #radicalright #maga

Hope everyone is having a good Thanksgiving and that your racist uncle stubbed his toe

“The economy does better under the democrats than the republicans.” - Donald Trump …The economy does better under the democrats than the republicans… …The economy does better under the democrats than the republicans…

Okay, Elon, you cyber-truck-bodied fuck

Snark

They aren’t just challenging the labor board, they’re declaring open war on workers. Billionaires playing God, rewriting the rules to keep workers powerless and profits endless.

Trump’s tariffs are the political equivalent of a group project. Everyone’s involved, nobody wanted it, and now we’re all going to pay the price for his bad ideas.

‘I can’t pay my bills’ is the most relatable thing he’s ever said. It’s also the only thing he hasn’t tried to blame on Hunter Biden.

Word

At this point, the presidency isn’t a job, it’s a get-out-of-jail-free card. Commit the crime, win the office, and suddenly you’re untouchable. Democracy, but make it a loophole.

Republican Jesus. From the Book of MAGA.

Just saw Wicked. It’s about a corrupt leader who manipulates fear, divides people, and distracts from his failures by creating a villain. It’s also about America in 2024. And yes, it’s about Trump. A thread:

Just like Trump, he’ll probably never be held accountable, but this is pretty funny! 😏

Weimar Germany didn’t collapse overnight. Democracy eroded as courts were undermined, rights stripped, and fear weaponized. It all felt normal until it wasn’t. The same cracks are showing here.

For a country that’s supposedly about freedom, we sure do let one religion dictate laws on marriage, education, and healthcare. Maybe it’s time for a war on theocracy disguised as democracy.

For a party obsessed with ‘law and order,’ Republicans sure get skittish when the law starts knocking on their own doors. They love subpoenas—just not when their names are on them.

Pam Bondi as Attorney General isn’t about justice—it’s about rewarding someone who knows exactly how to make Trump’s crimes disappear for the right price.

Matt Gaetz pulling out of the AG nom is the consolation prize we deserve after his dad failed to pull out when it really mattered.

Dismantling the NLRB isn’t just anti-union—it’s Trump handing corporations a loaded gun and telling them to aim for the working class. He’s not just hurting workers; he’s gutting their future.

Nancy Mace is defending women in bathrooms but nowhere else—classic GOP logic: ‘We’ll save you from a trans woman but not from a wage gap.’

Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, everybody…

Combine all the women who’ve accused Trump, Gaetz, and Hegseth of sex crimes, and you’ve got a soccer team. Add in the hush money and cover-ups, and you’ve got FIFA.
