Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Yeah bro…Boooooooooo.

Some seek purpose. Others seek the Gulf of Mexico. But only a chosen few are claimed by MapQuest. You’re one of us now.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Hey. You should text/call/voice-note some friends just because. Don't just DM silly videos. Check in with them. We all need some genuine connection right now!

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

WHEN THE F WILL @housedemocrats.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @senatedem.bsky.social START DEFENDING OUR GOVERNMENT?

Calling it a day.👇

Never forget what russia has done to Mariupol. There can be no lasting peace in Europe without justice for this. It's either peace through strength and accountability, or more wars through appeasement and concessions. No third way.

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

Yup. You're the cops at Uvalde. They took an oath to protect their community. The choice was to risk death or break their oath. They chose to betray their oath.

🔥🔥🔥 Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested for civil disobedience after speaking against a MAGA display that the city council of Huntington Beach agreed to put up at the public library…..that’s what’s up….every word👇

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

Let’s be honest. Trump embracing Moscow and selling out Ukraine has NOTHING to do with the war … Trump wants revenge against Zelensky for the Impeachment phone call. Because he has been a Russian asset for decades. Read all about it in this 2018 book:

Here's mine! @mapquest.com

Trump blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelenskyy a “dictator” isn’t a serious take—it’s just his usual projection. Russia invaded Ukraine. • If Russia stopped fighting, the war would end. • If Ukraine stopped fighting back, Ukraine would end.

Go f* yourself. We have a constitution, and Zelenskyy is the only legitimate president until Russia stops occupying our territories. We will hold elections immediately once Russia goes to hell and leaves Ukrainian land.

72 Million Americans are on Medicaid 2/3 of Nursing Homes are funded by Medicaid Cuts to Medicaid will affect 15,000 Nursing Homes Cuts will also affect seniors, the disabled and children’s health care Rural Hospitals would close and Healthcare Workers would be unemployed #SaveMedicaid

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

We don’t have kings in America. Bcuz I fear this basic American truth is under attack right now, I’ve changed my profile pics on all social media to #NoKings. If you agree with me - no kings in America - go to oneflaginitiative.org and change your profile pics too. We’ll show you how.👊

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

Fuck him. He is selling us out and breaking America from the inside. All for the benefit of our biggest adversary Russia. I wonder how much of the data DOGE is stealing is going there.

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

"I never could have imagined, none of us could, that the government of the United States of America would openly ally itself with a fascist political party. In the heart of Europe. In Germany, for God’s sake."
