I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

I guess it's time for Melania to parade around in her famous, "I really don't care" jacket. That seems to be the attitude of the entire Trump family. If it's not about making money, They Really DON'T Care.

I'm afraid for Zelinsky. Trump may let Putin win the war and capture him. That's why he's demonizing him now. Very scary times.

Clearly firing thousands of people so you can give bigger tax cuts to the rich is a sound economic plan. Does anyone else have the feeling we have a Russian operative sitting in the oval office.. or maybe standing with one of his 13 kids in the oval?

Texas needs to set up mobile clinics offering free children's vaccines. They won't of course because we're governed by idiots. I fear the measles outbreak in West Texas is the canary in the coal mine.

Dear Elon, F you and the coup you rode in on.

Napoleon complex? Now he's quoting movies about Napoleon, "any man who saves the country is not violating any law." Let's win big in the midterms and impeache his sorry ass and make it stick this time. Then we'll proceed to decide what is illegal.

For the idiots who aren't vaccinating their children, they're living in a fairy tale. For countless generations, there were graveyards just for children, because babies only had a 50% chance of living past 2 years of age. Antibiotics and vaccines are what changed that.

Remember in Dr Zhivago when Yuri's brother told him his poetry was subversive and he couldn't write it anymore? Replace the word subversive with the word woke. Trump taking over the Kennedy center was certainly not the scariest thing he's done, but it was so depressingly predictable.

A 25% tariff on steel and aluminum? Perfect. Because if there’s one thing America needs, it’s more expensive buildings, cars, and beer cans.

I’m sure all these Very Principled & Courageous Republican Ukraine supporters in Congress who complained that Biden was not doing enough to help them defeat Putin will condemn Trump & Hegseth’s remarks today.

Musk keeps bringing his kids to meetings because he thinks it helps his image and makes him more relatable. It just makes him look like a jerk. We all know how much tiny children love to attend boring meetings. He'll exploit anyone.

A nice op-ed attacking Trump by some guy named Mitch McC— … wait what??

And if you call for an Uber or Lyft and get a Tesla, cancel it and tell them why.

Watching Elon Musk overshadowing Trump in the oval office, speaking at length while Trump sits there glumly, one has to wonder, what does he have on Trump? He's a close associate of Putin, so could he have the notorious pee pee tape?

Carl Sagan warned us long ago that if we failed to educate our citizens, they wouldn't grasp the importance of knowledge and reason, and we'd suffer the loss of science and civilization as happened when the ignorant mob burned the library of Alexandria. I fear The barbarians are at our gate.

Some of the least dangerous people in the country: desperate refugees. Some of the most dangerous people in the country: billionaire fascists.

"J.D. Vance is an embarrassment to the law school that I attended," Conway said. "But the fact of the matter is, he's telling us something that we should have already known, and last week I said it. They are not going to obey court orders,..." www.rawstory.com/george-conwa...

As we prepare for a stream of Elon propaganda about USAID, a reminder from @profgalloway.com that Elon Musk and and his Tech Bros are the biggest Welfare Queens in America. #superbowl #welfarequeens #usaid

Cruelty is the point.

I knew a second Trump term would be foolish and upsetting, I didn't anticipate it being so bone chillingly dangerous. This is the stuff of nightmares.

It’s surprising how few people know that some of the first groups targeted by the Nazis were gay & transgender people. The pink triangle, now a symbol of LGBTQ+ resilience, was originally used to mark them in concentration camps. History matters—let’s not forget.

I shared this on my FB page 5 years ago. It continues to apply today. Thank you, Robert Kennedy, for your wisdom. We lost you too soon.

attempting to describe the vibes of the moment. have yet to do better than: "imagine watching a documentary reenacting the burning of the Library of Alexandria set to the soundtrack of 'Yakety Sax'"

A good illustration of first vs second Trump term. In the first, Trump drew a fake hurricane path on a map with a sharpie. In the second, Elon Musk’s twentysomething minions have taken over computer systems at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration directly.

NOBODY living in ANY democracy ANYWHERE should EVER AGAIN buy a Tesla.
