"This is a pattern. If one law firm capitulates, Trump goes after more. If one university, tech billionaire, media company capitulates, he goes after more. If we don't fight him now, when he’s only gone after one legal resident, then we can't act surprised when he ultimately goes after Americans."

JUST TO BE CLEAR ... the same man who had his panties in a bunch about the antisemitism at Harvard is the same man who pardoned this piece of shit. #resist #bluecrew

The story keeps getting more indefensible as they peel back the onion

Just wrote about RFK Jr.'s despicable autism comments and torched him so bad my fingers are on fire.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

We can't celebrate soldiers in uniform and forget them when the war ends. Service doesn’t end when the mission does—neither should our support. 🎖️ #SupportOurVeterans #VeteranCareIsMilitaryFunding #HonorTheirService #NoOneLeftBehind #MilitaryToCivilian

oh, FUCK THIS! we're truely losing it here in this country... all the Jan 6ers get pardoned but no 1st ammendment for him.

MacCALLUM: They did several studies that said there was no connection between vaccines in autism. So what are you seeing? RFK Jr: The studies that they did were very very narrow ... 14 of those studies are invalid

This is why we had what we had them and why we have what we have now. Voters need to awaken to the reality that unless America picks leadership that fights for the rights and freedoms for all we will continue down this unnecessary path of despair…FOR NO GOOD REASON!!

Our Supreme Court is occupied by an unethical hyper partisan conservative majority and our DOJ is heavily weaponized with seeming no tolerance for dissent of any kind. Many will say that this is unAmerican but whatever America is or isn’t is determined by the people who run it. Continues…

Do we wait until the billionaires lose enough money before this is taken seriously? Do we wait for someone of importance to be denied due process and deported before laws are actually adhered to? Major law firms led by the wealthy and connected are caving so how does the average man fight and win?

Was there a real desire or intention to correct any of these things because it was the right thing to do? Or was it shaming and pressure that forced change? The idea of America is only as true and real as the leaders who are in charge and as long as that remains true how can we feel optimistic?

I was hoping that in my lifetime I would see America do the right thing simply b/c it’s the right thing. I feel less optimistic than ever. Our leadership has consistently failed. Genocide of Native Americans, slavery, legalized segregation and discrimination, greed and corruption, etc. Continued…

With the traditional 1000 point opening bell drop out of the way it’s a good time to remember that national business community and a huge amount of Wall Street got behind Trump in the biggest way.
