If you voted for some pro-Russian goons to be President and vice president you don’t get to be “shocked” that they acted playground bullies with no home training while showing their whole ass in the White House.

It was great to talk today with UFCW Local 7 in CO who recently ended a 12-day strike involving 10,000 King Soopers workers. Kroger: it’s time to do what’s right. Negotiate a fair contract with your workers. Stop ripping off consumers with high prices at your grocery stores.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Elon Musk’s penis rocket and exploding car companies have been given $38 billion in government funding, but he’s cutting funding for children’s cancer research, gutting the VA’s suicide prevention hotline and letting palettes of desperately needed food expire because it’s “wasteful spending.”

Cancelling @joyannreid.bsky.social means the door she held open for the next generation of Black voices will slam shut. Without her, the next her, won't get platformed by white media. That, of course, is why white media pushed her out. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Q at the Town Hall:"Why is our legislative branch not stepping in to stop the chaos??" Sen. Merkley: "Elon Musk isn't finding waste fraud and abuse. He's not going in for the purpose of finding waste, they're coming in with a philosophy of destroying a govt that functions to serve the people."

I think a lot of career Dems in Congress think "My GOP colleagues are reasonable. We have worked alongside these folks for years. They can be persuaded." Sorry to say, you've been working alongside fascists and Nazis. Your colleagues are fascists. And Nazis. Or spineless cowards w/ no moral compass

Since FB now apparently has no community guidelines and lets MAGA men say whatever horrible misogynistic things they want to me, I respond to their vitriol with, "Elon's not gonna breed you, hon." The days of "when they go low, we go high" are long gone. These days are for punching Nazis.

"Courts will not be the backstop protecting us from the Trump-(Elon) Musk takeover,"and any person who tells you otherwise — especially if that person is an elected Democrat in Congress — is selling you an excuse for inaction and complacency. 💯💪🏿
