If you ever wondered why I refused to share a stage with Dinesh D’Souza, here you go:

We do not debate them. We do not put them on a stage. We do not entertain their bad faith bullshit arguments in any way, shape, or form. To do otherwise is to legitimize them.

I didn't hunt down terrorists around the world so that Mike Lawler could have seniors dragged out of town halls like criminals. NY-17 deserves a real leader, not a coward.

Damnit, the extent to which absentee landlords allow their properties to go derelict here in Ireland is a menace. The Council should seize this property and sell it off in bits.

One way to read stories based on leaked docs: look at time from being circulated to docs getting published — bc that’s the amount of time it took to a) get someone pissed enough to agree to leak and b) get enough also-pissed people to confirm. These are slides dated April 29-30, published May 1.

A free and independent press is not a luxury in a democracy, but its foundation. Without journalists to question power, truth withers, and tyranny finds fertile ground.

Just say, “that’s not an answer” I would just like to see it happen ONCE. Somebody, please. 😂

"I appointed you, but you don't serve me. You serve the American people. I expect you to act with Independence and integrity." - Barack Obama, 2009, private address to US attorneys

Love to see it !!!

Fact! 🎯🎯🎯

In fairness...

Republicans can't even get their pop culture correct. This is such an incompetent Administration. At least don't make Donald Trump a Sith Lord, unless, of course, you think this is a good thing...

A group representing firearms owners has asked three federal agencies to investigate how the gun industry secretly used the intimate details of weapons buyers for political purposes. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social

White women direct whatever legitimate, understandable rage living under patriarchy inflicts on all women, at literally every group except the one that created and controls it: white men.

The Trump administration has scrapped more than $800 million worth of research into the health of LGBTQ people, abandoning studies of cancers and viruses that tend to affect members of sexual minority groups, according to an analysis of federal data by The New York Times.

“I’m amazed Lori is able to keep a straight face & concentrate. A dozen gamers are gathered round to watch. A very pregnant photographer is lying on the floor under the table shooting Lori as she plays. The flash is right in her face. The sound system is blaring...Yet she keeps playing. Brilliantly“

Those of you white people, only NOW, thinking about fixing racism are WAY too late. The overt racists have won. You whites who insist you shouldn’t be “lumped together” could’ve thought and acted COLLECTIVELY—the way so many Black people, especially Black Women, warned But you refused. You failed.

Please do not ignore us 💔🙏 We are going through difficult days here in Gaza, the first of which is famine, as our children go to bed hungry due to the lack of food and the high prices. Please help us so that we can feed our children 🥹🙏 gofund.me/67212ac7

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

The new film “Sinners” is a symphony of vampire bites, gunshot wounds, and people being staked in the heart and left to burn alive, @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. But the true horror is the Jim Crow economy, which drives every event in the film.

The 8th May has been marked as VE Day since before Trump was born. VE stands for Victory in Europe. As for the First World War, the idea that some Yank who refused to serve in the military, will command people around the world not to call it Rembrance Day is laughable. Sod off.

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

When A President Isn’t A Criminal Propped Up By A Corrupt Supreme Court…

Today would have been my Moms 89th birthday, 19 months since she passed to glory. This morning very early , I jolted awake because my Mom 'woke' me up handing me a cafe au lait. She never brought me coffee in bed in this life. Mom still challenging me. I am a richly blessed woman.

If you watch 100 seconds of video on the 100 Days of Trump's hellish second term — pls watch this one of JB Pritzker and pls share it.

Trump's threat to arrest Governor Evers is a chilling attempt to normalize fascism & silence dissent. They want to bully & intimidate anyone who doesn't conform to their ideology. We will NOT be intimidated. We will NOT be silenced. We will DEFEND our freedom.
