The People of the United States fronted, loaned and granted Elton Mush billions. And this is how he repays us?

So does Pete Hegseth put on his own make up, or as we're cutting cancer researchers are we finding the money for a full time make-up person?

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

my plan to get people to start having more kids? make climate change worse. abolish the department of education. also milk is poison

Our world could be a dreamland if we can pull off something like this…. My mind is blown.

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution. Our nation was founded on resistance to arbitrary authority and monarchical power. We built a democracy in the face of impossible odds. We must continue to protect it.

I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Punch a bully in the nose and see what happens

Thou shalt march on Washington by the millions and not leave until the Mad King is deposed.

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Watched the grisly, gruesome, poorly made pilot for Good American Family and swore off watching anymore of this misery fest. OY VEY WHO NEEDS IT?

Being human is the only requirement for human rights. There is no disability, diagnosis, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, age, criminal record, religion, country of origin, etc that disqualifies a person.

To understand what is happening today in America is to understand what America was founded on and how we overcame that. Black liberation must be centered and understood by the masses if we plan on protecting our freedoms.

Leaders lead. Titles don't make leaders. There are a lot of Democrats with fancy titles. AOC is the most active, important voice in the party right now. We're fortunate she is. (This is not about centrists or progressives. It's about people who'll do what it takes to save the country.)

Thank YOU for coming out! This is exactly why we do this. One objective of these rallies has been for people in red and swing areas to start seeing and finding one another. There is power in numbers. We also bring local organizers onstage to speak and highlight local issues. It’s been great 💜

No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American. We are way past political and ideological disagreements. What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights. Without it, we cease to be America.

So you can take over Greenland and Canada but can’t send a plane to pick up someone you are paying another country to hold for a year? Weird take on sovereignty.

Well, going forward, at least Disneyland will be less crowded.

This is not life We used to have one This is fascism General Strike required

a few thoughts on Harvard's No to the White House and the latters demands. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/harva...

Guy who claims to be a master dealmaker can’t even strike a deal with one of his closest allies to secure the return of a man he mistakenly sent to prison?

God hopes that delightful 'Fight the Oligarchy' tour makes a stop in Washington, D.C. It sure would be nice to see 200,000 people there in solidarity.

Life finds a way—this tree pushed through pavement and even wrapped itself around a stop sign in L.A. #Nature doesn’t ask for permission. [Marika Sparrow]
