The resistance begins. Axios: Secretary Deb Haaland to run for Governor of New Mexico.

Suing pollsters? Just a totally calm, rational response to winning the election. Definitely not authoritarian at all!

Justice Juan Merchan has REJECTED Donald Trump’s bid to have his election interference conviction dismissed due to the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision.

Not that all legacy media has given in to Trump. But enough have, including too many owners, that it affects the overall effectiveness of the industry. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/dona...

Some people will react in horror. But the more idiotic and frivolous suits like these that he brings, the better. Because he will lose and make an even bigger ass of himself. His narcissistic and psychopathic compulsion to overreach can actually do some good. www.cnn.com/2024/12/17/m...

Every accusation is an admission. Polling and clean journalism aren’t election interference; but winning every swing state, something that hasn’t happened in decades, reeks of it. Donald Trump cheated in this election, and now he’s trying to suppress the free media. Do NOT let him.

A strong democracy needs strong public schools, so when billionaires are telling you they need to be defunded, ask yourself why that is.

Bernie Sanders has proven himself to be just as opportunistic and negatively disruptive as Jill Stein. This is the man who sewed deep distrust in the Dem candidates of 2016-24, and is now pandering to the Trump team. Yet another shameful politician that benefited from societal ignorance.

California, a state of nearly 40,000,000 people, has the same amount of representation in the United States Senate as Wyoming, a state of less than 600,000 people. This is the direct result of a deal struck between slave states and free states in the 1700s. It’s time for that to change.

Morning Joe decided to normalize relations with Donald Trump. ABC News decided to hand Trump a $15 million settlement payment. "Legacy" media wants to normalize Trump. We can't let it.

The return of polio, abolishing the FDIC, destroying government agencies by appointing spies, predators and morons to run them, all of it. It makes the most sense when you try to remember three things... Trump works for Putin. Trump works for Putin. And... Trump works for Putin.

If Donald Trump ever sued me for defamation in my reporting, I would never sell out like ABC News just did. Shameful.

Feel that justified and utterly unmitigated rage that Trump is going to be President again. Accept it. Embrace it. Bottle it up and use it as fuel for the fight ahead. Complacency is our most perilous enemy. We have so much to lose and everything to gain. Saddle up folks, we ride at dawn.

Dems are the opposition party so we need to act like it. Make this our mantra… “If you don’t like anything…that’s going on in this country at least in the next two years, Democrats are not involved….this is on Republicans. If you don’t like it, you need to look at them.” @joyannreid.bsky.social

😡😡😡

How about this? TAX THE CHURCHES TAX THE RICH KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE and MEDICAID AND THE VA!!!!! Agree? ✋

Crazy, isn’t it?

Fuck ABC News, fuck legacy media. They can capitulate to that cocksucker all they want. It’s well-past time for something new. There are a helluva lot of warriors out there fighting the good fight for what is right. And we don’t fucking apologize to adjudicated fucking rapists.

To all of the liberals and leftists who sat out this election, look. I don't know what TF is going on with you. Can we have a conversation? I've been reading about why some folks sat out the election, and a lot of what I'm seeing is a "both sides" mindset as if this was all politics as usual. ??????

STOP obeying in advance. trump has NO fucking mandate. PASS IT ON.

The Tiktok ban going into effect is not about national security. It’s about a bunch of ignorant and bigoted politicians that don’t want us to be able to organize virtually; they’re simply using China as a scapegoat. This is just the beginning— they will come after anything that could unite us.

One thing I know beyond a shadow of a doubt is that the least deserving person of anything good, ever— let alone to be Time’s person of the year— is donald trump. What an embarrassing day to be a @time.com editor. Ya’ll are kissing the ring just like every other legacy news outlet. Damn shame.

I don't care what TIME says. MY Person of the Year is Kamala Harris. TIME got it wrong. So did America.

On NBC’s Meet the Press Trump stated he ran his campaign on the promise of lowering grocery prices and in the same paragraph said he’s making no guarantees that he can lower them (LOL - we know, dumbass). He also doubled down and said he doesn’t believe tariffs will raise prices for Americans. 🙄

Republican women are upset that the GOP won’t let them run Committees. People of color are upset that they aren’t being represented in Trump’s Cabinet. Muslim voters are upset about Trump’s Gaza policies. Turns out, the face-eating leopards don’t spare you because you voted for them. Weird, huh?

This part. ⬇️

Republicans vigorously defended Kyle Rittenhouse when he murdered two people with an AR15, but they wanted Hunter Biden to go to jail over lying on a form. The fact that Republicans will just switch positions whenever it benefits them is why I think Biden's pardon was justified.

No, it shouldn’t.

The trickle-down myth is deeply embedded in the American psyche and it’s beyond time to excise it.

EXACTLY.

Legacy media.

Looks like the military is leaving after the South Korean Parliament voted to nullify the marital law declaration. 🇰🇷

I am not going to stop calling for an FBI background check of Tulsi Gabbard and neither should you.

Make no mistake: the Republicans have absolutely nothing to stand on when it comes to pardons. Hunter’s is warranted— not a single one Trump did/will do was or ever will be. The ONLY reason they’re pissed off is to distract from Kash Patel being staggeringly under qualified and dangerous. 1/3🧵
