Never give in. Do not obey in advance

Happy President’s Day from Union Square in NYC, where over 10,000 people filled the streets to oppose the Musk-Trump coup. Impassioned calls for Congress to do their job. The Resistance Revival Chorus led the march down Broadway. #StopTheCoup #ResistTheDictators #NotMyPresidentsDay

Union & Washington Square today

Every decent human being at the Super Bowl should take a knee during the National Anthem.

Everything is connected We are watching, in real time, a handful of malignant white men rendering both the Constitution and the Supreme Court, which they purchased, MEANINGLESS. They have guns, $$, and alcoholic sex criminal Hegseth willing to unleash the military against us - the taxpayers.

This whole moment in time, every single thing about this is an absolute fucking shanda. And the number of people who will suffer and die because of a handful of angry rich white men, and the craven bootlickers willing to do their bidding, is beyond comprehension. Throw. Sand. In. The. Gears.

Does Chuck Schumer know he is the highest ranking democrat in the senate?

What elected officials are brave enough to lead the resistance? Your cue to act forcefully has passed without you stepping up. Do It Now. Get musk out of government. No one voted for him.

Look at this thread @schumer.senate.gov @repdangoldman.bsky.social And please immediately act to fix it, as well as communicate with your constituents to explain what’s going on/what we can do. I have contacted both of your offices.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

If you turn women into criminals, you control them. Where's the law that saws if a man beats a pregnant woman and it results in a loss of the fetus, he's executed? That law will never exist. The point is controlling women because it's easier than trying to control middle and lower class men.

Since 2016, told you so. #grifterpresident

It really is such masculine energy to blame things on a woman who no longer works at the company www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...

i am watching clips from the hegseth hearings and it is a goddamn insult to this country that this chucklefuck was even nominated

Keep in mind when you see Trump’s political attacks about the LA fires that he doesn’t understand the problems, care about the personal suffering or desire to learn what happened so he can do something to help. He just wants to exploit the tragedy to score points and fuel more conflict and division.

imagine if the state was willing to operate this stringently against the interests of oil and gas companies. thousand Californians might not have lost their homes in the first place

The strategic imperative is clear: nothing less than the total defeat of the organized political interests of oil, gas, and coal producers is necessary to make any other climate justice goals even a remote possibility.

Endorsing this.

Holy sh$t this #NYRANGERS caps game…

Posting this now for no particular reason.

she’s not wrong

If you see this, drink water. If you drank water, repost..

In the spirit of government efficiency, we could skip Tulsi Gabbard's nomination and DM our intelligence directly to Vladimir Putin.

This bears repeating. And repeating.

OMFG. Good; send every cop to jail.

Supremacy Court of Hypocrisy

something that is especially clear if you have studied colonialism a bit: a load bearing aspect of maintaining even a semblance of democracy (or defending a sitting autocracy from democracy) is having a military that is unwilling to kill its own citizens

I rang the alarm on this Republican tactic last year. Removing power from the office when Democrats win, is the final act in making voting irrelevant once the legislatures are gerrymandered. It’s happening all over the country. Read about it here: slate.com/news-and-pol...

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

I will not be shamed for my rejection of MAGA and all of the hypocrisy, grifting, cruel supremacy BS beliefs, and especially twisting of “gospel” to excuse their inhuman behavior. Don’t cast your insincere pity on me. I know right from wrong.

It’s clear by now that state abortion bans are having a seismic impact on health care. But they are also introducing a dangerous new dynamic for anyone who happens to conceive. Help us report on maternal health.

Tragic. The worst is yet to come.
