I’d rather have root canal than watch his state of the union.

Right 👇🏾👏🏾😊

love this @rokhanna.bsky.social We need more proposals like this that co-opt the chaos Please share off line as well !!!

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down. And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.

Thank you Governor Shapiro for standing with the Ukrainian people! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Looking beautiful Time Square. 🇺🇦

UK Prime Minister Starmer hugs Zelensky as he welcomes him to 10 Downing Street. This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.

This man is the leader of the free world.

Brutal.

It bears repeating.

I’m confused by all the headline references to a “shouting match.” I saw one side shouting and the other side getting shouted over when he tried to talk.

Turns out Zelenskyy is good at standing up against dictators.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

I am so angry at this disgusting premeditated attack on Ukraine. Can we get Slava Ukrainii trending, please? Real Americans support our allies, we don't support Russia. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #SlavaUkrainii

Thoughts are with the Ukrainian people who have endured and endured and who deserve so much better than Trump and Vance.

This presser was a horror show. Ukraine will not have US support going forward, because Trump and Vance are completely lost. Europe will step-up and this war will continue. Trump blew this bigger than any foriegn policy folly in recent history.

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

I can’t believe doge is doing more “layoffs” I know I shouldn’t be surprised but I’m actually kind of surprised. When I looked back on the 2024 cycle, the thing I got the wrong most was assuming people would be less terrible

Who else AGREES with the very-vocal, very passionate heroine, Jasmine Crockett?! 🤚 We. Need. More. Of. This. ✨

Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity. You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

We can help shift the tide! Wisconsin must have fair electoral maps going forward. Answer Musk’s money with a blizzard of small donations. Give Musk the finger and support Judge Susan Crawford for the open WI Supreme Court seat. Our democracy depends on it. secure.actblue.com/donate/hrccr...

Obama knew

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I’m with Joe Walsh on this one.
