Best part about my No Kings experience today were the two 10 year old kids who were very worked up about the Red 40 ban. You can pry our cherry Jolly Ranchers from our cold dead hands.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone. If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

As the videotapes clearly show, Noem is lying. Padilla is clearly identifying himself as a senator before he he is thrown to the ground and handcuffed. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

Its wild that Trump just hears horrible shit from Miller and never stopped to consider this. It also shows that trump believes the last person he speaks to, that could be an advisor, a donor, or a rando online he retruths.

Now Trump is worried about deporting farm and restaurant workers? Has he not been paying attention? And he says if you deport these people, then criminal immigrants will apply for their jobs. Wut?

Trump: "Russia fought with us in WWII and everybody hates them. And Germany and Japan, they're fine — some day somebody will explain that...Everybody hates Russia and they love Germany and Japan...It's a strange world."

"Some day somebody will explain that." Our President doesn't understand the passage of time.

Republicans were never going to stop at abortion. They are coming for contraception. Republicans want a politician in every bedroom and exam room in America.

This is a meaningless distinction. “Arrest” is from the French “arrêter,” to stop. If they can detain you for however long it takes a cop to show up, that is already functionally an arrest.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician. He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

Republicans are trying to repeal the FACE Act and eliminate protections for women seeking reproductive care. It’s a direct attack on women’s choice AND safety. I’ve stood for women's rights my entire career—and I always will. Thank you to those who showed up yesterday to support Planned Parenthood.

BREAKING: Miller reportedly engineered the raids that sparked the protests that have engulfed the city in recent days—likely because he wanted a pretext to send in federal troops. https://trib.al/oM1280f

Terry Moran was the one journalist who had the journalistic integrity to challenge Donald Trump's lies to his face. ABC has now twice bent its knee before the fascist leader. Disney, its networks, studios, and parks do not deserve our patronage or respect. CBS the same. Old mass media is dead.

Pathetic. ABC made it clear with the Stephanopolous settlement that they were more concerned about appeasing Trump than standing their journalists. Even if you think that Moran badly messed up, and I don't, this would never have amounted to a dismissal in an earlier era.

Absolutely laughable to call gaming "one of the most expensive hobbies around" because a video game costs ten dollars more. Gamers are children and should be treated with distain.

PSX games cost $50 in 1996, and if the price of software kept up with inflation, they'd cost more than $100 today. N64 carts cost upwards of $70 back then. Gaming is the opposite of expensive. I spent $50 on Overwatch 10 years ago and have gotten more than 2000 hours out of it. That's good ROI.

patriarchy is bad at politics for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that a finding that challenges existing norms and agreements makes those things seem conditional, and it's the exposure of power's conditions by those w/o power that brings patriarchs to reject and silence the truth.

People asked me when I'd give advice as though this were Moscow or Tehran. My answer stands: When this becomes Moscow or Tehran. Don't keep badgering me for permission to stop voting. Democracy is still alive in this country and abandoning it is rank defeatism.
