This is beyond unconscionable. How can we stop this?

Beware of politicians making promises they will not have the authority to keep. And as the say goes, "Watch the hunter's bow, not the hunter's tears."

contrarian.substack.com/p/you-cant-b... What a legacy this man is creating for himself. Congress should be utterly ashamed for contributing to this clusterf**k. I hope all the money they are making from the market is worth it. We are only as strong as our weakest link…our government

Shout out to Sen. Wyden for his tireless work on basically everything, and also to his staff for being rockstars, and also ALSO to the senator for acknowledging his staff as driving forces in their work.

The folks at NATO ran rings around our dope of a president. Here, kiddo, stay at the Danish palace. Oh, you are so SMART. Such a big, smart boy! All the while doing exactly as they must to work around his whims and peeves. The man cannot distinguish between respect and empty flattery.

The base of the Democratic Party, the engine that drives it, the most reliable bloc of voters on whom we depend, is Black Women. I’m sick of hearing that “the base” of the Party is people who hold their vote hostage unless they get their way.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

The Holocaust is not an analogy for anything bad happening in the world today. It is not the equivalent of any recent war or injustice or "whatabout" you want to add. The industrialized murder of six million Jews, including most of my family, stands alone.

You have been visited by the smiling Stock Dove. It grants you great wisdom and fortune. 📷 Justin Sneddon

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

Imagine coming for Lauren Underwood while not understanding her vote wasn't against impeachment but to to table the motion because it didn't have enough votes to pass.

FULL STOP!

Just because your candidate loses, doesn’t mean your votes did not matter or are not real. And anyone who encourages this kind of insane nonsense, is very actively working to suppress votes. Deplorable shit right here.

There is a stray wild turkey roaming the neighborhood that we can track by which dogs are barking their heads off in which yards. Mr. Turkey had a showdown with a bus driver who was (understandably) on his last inch of patience. Mr. Turkey left the altercation and found the chihuahuas at the corner.

To other white people: Here is a required reading assignment. Insight from Sherrilyn Ifill. "I raise this history to remind us of the uniquely repugnant nature of masked assault and violations of civil rights that is such a shameful part of our history. "

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

Three years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade endangering millions of lives and stripping away our fundamental right to make our own health care decisions. Abortion is health care, and we must pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to fully restore access to reproductive health care.

Reproductive freedom is about more than health care; it is about women’s rights, individual rights, & human rights. The foundation of the Women’s Health Protection Act is simply the right to make your own health care decisions. 1/

Can't wait to have my health tracked electronically by the most Luciferian-looking human-shaped being who has ever roamed the Earth.

1. Donald is embarrassed by shoddy military birthday parade. 2. Donald's bill in Congress is wildly unpopular. 3. Donald's ICE kidnappings are wildly unpopular. 4. To distract, Donald bombs Iran. 5. This is wildly unpopular too. 6. So Donald declares ceasefire. 7. Iran/Israel ignore Donald.

CARTER: The Adolescent Trial Network for HIV intervention received a stop work order that shut down research at 14 sites where 7 studies were being conducted. Were you aware of that? RFK JR: As far as I know, we haven't cut any clinica-- CARTER: I'm telling you by your own records you are

America has no Poet Laureate right now. 🥶

Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland are planning to mine areas along the border with Russia, creating a new 'Iron Curtain,' - the Telegraph. All of them have already announced plans to withdraw from the Ottawa Convention, which bans the use of anti-personnel landmines.

At today’s House Energy & Commerce Committee hearing, RFK Jr said, “We absolutely consult CDC on every policy regarding vaccination” before rewriting COVID vaccine rules. Lying under oath? Not a good look.

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well. We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

And deliver your mail. And work construction. And mow your lawn.

ICE is basically going after people based on their skin color, race, or ethnicity. They’re detaining U.S. citizens and people who have a right to be here. It’s mass racial profiling.

If only there was a well-known and beloved childrens' story about the dangers of giving up your voice just for the shot of marrying a man. Alas

Sometimes, when we vote, we do not have the luxury of voting for a candidate we feel unconflicted about. Sometimes, we cringe when we tap the screen or fill in the oval. Sometimes, the bus we are catching stinks. Those elections might be the most important ones. Harm reduction is extremely valid.

Blocking anyone who, naively or maliciously, lays all the blame on the Democrats and who fails to lay any blame on the real cause - the Republicans. Supportive criticism is good. Bullshit and outright lies are not good.
