🗣️ 10 DAYS UNTIL NO KINGS 🗣️ How are you spreading the word this week? ❌👑 No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. We’re taking action to reject authoritarianism 🇺🇸 WE THE PEOPLE have had ENOUGH. Join us in Chicago at Daley Plaza from 12-2pm. 🔗❌👑 More info in our bio!

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

Kudos to the bird that managed to shit an image of itself onto this bloke's car.

This might be the absolute greatest reply we have ever received. Thank you, Cookie Monster 📕🍪💙

Hi it’s me, self promoting myself when I should be focused on the dumpster fire that is American politics RN

As I predicted, we are now entering an era where we cannot necessarily trust data coming from the federal govt on things like inflation. Something to watch VERY closely for GDP, unemployment, everything. www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-...

The ignorance of this administration is jaw-dropping. On Wednesday, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) asked Education Secretary Linda McMahon if teaching the Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges counted as “illegal DEI.” McMahon wouldn’t give a straight yes or no. That says everything.

Moskowitz: "Nothing has been made more efficient. Here are the wins for congressional Rs. You ready? They're gonna do a $9b recession bill. They're gonna get rid of Elmo, which the American people were clamoring for, but they're gonna add $2.4t for the debt. And then they want us to cheer for them."

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

A top coronavirus vaccine adviser at the CDC has resigned, citing concerns that she could no longer help vulnerable people after officials rescinded recommendations to immunize children and pregnant women.

Man he really hates being called a taco, doesn’t he? Might even say he’s got a thin shell.

WATCH: “You stand in my church. You promised me.” A Minneapolis pastor confronts the chief of police about helping ICE

Read? The Gazpacho Police and Peachtree Dish lady?

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

As someone who is half hillbilly by birth, it burns me up that country music has gotten so cozy with the worst people, it’s supposed to be about outlaws and trains and moonshine and killing your cheating husband not whatever this Morgan Wallen shit is

Are we great yet?

I mean, if you had a serious, important job and you made a mistake like this, you'd probably get fired...
