Don’t be a nice person…

It's going to get very ugly very soon

No single person did more to end democracy and roll back civil rights in America than this white supremacist right here. Now and forever, that is how he should be remembered—the 21st century white supremacist who returned the United States to Jim Crow America.

Remember when you were in school and you read "The Diary of Anne Frank" and you thought of all the things you would have done to stop the Nazis? Do those things now.

go fuck yourself you vichy cunt

I won’t serve a king…

Here’s what I need from Democrats; get in the fucking way. Stand in front of those who will hurt others. We can say “constitutional crisis” all day long, but you have to get in front of them. Refuse to budge. Don’t back down.

The ex-presidents (of either party) are silent. They took that oath to protect the Constitution. Cutting & running now seems unreal. History won't be kind to the "I got mine" crowd. Heck, are there any elder pols of note willing to even say #ItsACoup and that we are in a #ConstitutionalCrisis?

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

imagine what a weak quisling Rubio is that he cannot even explain to Trump that Russia started the war. Think about that. Utterly spineless.

The U.S. is meeting with Russia about the future of Ukraine without any Ukrainian officials present. It's a rejection of the concept of self-determination by free people. All Americans should be ashamed by this.

Small group on a very cold day. Standing for democracy, the rule of law and civil rights.

This administration has committed a crime every day of its existence.

It's odd that Elon Musk's emulation of the Nazis stops short of creating reliable cars and rockets that get to their destination.

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

Stop asking Black women to fix the shit you broke.

Convicted felon, Donald Trump, says what?

Real Americans stand with Germany, not Nazi-loving JD Vance.

Former heroin addict wants to send Americans to work camps. 👇

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would

2020: "...The problem for me is you’re the type of good German who might be pleasant to my face, even present me with a gift card for coffee, and then you’d stand around with your hands in your pockets when the Gestapo showed up to take me away...." It's not the time for "civility" handwringing.

yup
