This is what I have to say to this youtu.be/KcVXuqvUj5Y?...

BOYCOTT TESLA, it’s working!

I watched the first episode the other day but tonight after work I binge watched the rest of Chernobyl on HBO. It’s interesting to see the effect lies can have on a country given the state of our own right now. #chernobyl #hbo #lies

Sometimes I feel sorry for Mitch McConnell for being only the 23rd wealthiest Congressmember (out of 534). Poor Satan Turtle sold his soul & our democracy and didn’t even get to be #1. I think they lowballed him.

NEW: The Secretary of Defense instructs people to ignore what the press says, and that he wants the “biggest, most badass military on god’s green earth.” www.dvidshub.net/video/953069...

Well this isn’t ominous

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

I woke up still not fired again today. Thanks Willie for the tune. 🤣🎶

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

Free speech is so important to the fabric of our nation that it is in the very First Amendment. This is the GULF OF MEXICO.

@4taxfairness.bsky.social identified two dozen House Republicans whose 2024 margin of victory is less than the number of people who will lose their jobs, health care and food assistance under Trump's budget. Is yours one of them?

Please follow and support former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe — an inspiring representation of our OPPOSITION movement. Earlier this week, Kluwe appeared at a city council meeting in Huntington Beach City, California and exercised his right to peaceful civil disobedience —…

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

I’m finally watching the HBO Chernobyl series. I’m struck by how similar the disinformation is to our own time. #chernobyl

Meet 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, a young girl from Texas whose life was tragically cut short. She died by suicide after classmates threatened to call ICE on her family. Stop dehumanizing immigrants. That is not America.

I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear. Repeat it.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Doing great 👍

Being a fucking idiot has consequences. Unfortunately, they’re for everybody.

Why is the media acting like this is all normal?!

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

Fun fact: while Phony Stark and the DOGEbags are taking money from our veterans, the world’s poorest people and kids with cancer, Assistant President Poopy Pants has already spent nearly $11 million of our money… playing golf.

Pete Hegseth is about to purge military officers—and make no mistake, this is 100% political retribution. 📌 Sec of Defense Pete Hegseth is planning to fire generals and top officers as soon as this week, per two Defense officials and three Congressional sources. Most of them tied to Lloyd Austin.

Normalize using term, "forced pregnancy". They get, "pro-life". We get "forced pregnancy".

HEADS UP! We need to give this story more attention. This is the next phase - investigations of those who criticize Trump, Musk or SCOTUS. It’s already started. It is a campaign of intimidation designed to silence criticism. wapo.st/3X8d75G

Who is the administrator of DOGE? Yesterday, Taylor Popielarz of Spectrum News asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitz to answer that question. But she wouldn’t say.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

MAGA would rather support unintelligent billionaires who are cults of personality than the people they claim to respect and care about.
