If you see a Republican senator or representative in public, let them know you are onto them by yelling as loudly as you can "STOP! THIEF!"

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

I’m just so angry. And hurt. It would be one thing if white people and white-wanna be people chose this for themselves, but they chose it for all of us. And now I’ve got as much hate in my blood as oxygen. Angry, hurt, and wise. This country doesn’t deserve to breathe.

Donald Trump is Putin’s puppet. He demonstrated that in televised living color in our Oval Office today by disgracefully attacking a democratic leader suffering a murderous invasion by the Russian thug. What a stain on America. Slava Ukraini.

Disgusting. Immoral. Betrayal. Traitorous. Trump and his fascist henchmen planned to humiliate Zelenskyy. They humiliated themselves and our nation. Trump serves Putin, not the United States. He is the enemy of democracy. Will our institutional press cover fascism now?

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Gradually realizing a lot of people on here (and around me IRL) think capitalism is mostly about convincing people to buy things and so are v confused about why this administration feels OK about killing off so many consumers. Y’all, capitalism is about extraction.

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left at even higher rates.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.
