Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

There's a witness to Adams agreeing to provide quid pro quo assistance to the President in his immigration sweeps in exchange for not being charged. It's clear as day blackmail / bribery. Adams has to be removed.

Acting Deputy Bove’s letter back veers between “Three Stooges” nonsensicality and “Death of Stalin” venality. Clearly something has gone very wrong at the Department of Justice. So much for all the happy talk we heard in nomination hearings. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump isn’t the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

OK, we all know about cable figures who "both-sides" any difficult issues. Thus ENDLESS RESPECT to (experienced pilot) Pete Muntean, of CNN, for laying out now, in merciless no-BS form, the complete, irresponsible, bigoted, nonsense that Trump and team are spewing. www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/p...

One of America's two major political parties seems to have embraced the position that the founders of this country really secretly intended to create a monarchy just like the one they fought to overthrow and that all this democracy talk these past 250 years was just woke political propaganda.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.
