Make America Tacky Again

Consent discussions really bring out the people who don't know they're in favor of rape so are not embarrassed to loudly and publicly argue in favor of rape.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption. I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents. 1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

The Politico is now reporting ICE has deported an American citizen without due process. If you're less horrified by this illegal action bc that American citizen is 2 yrs old, this video is for you:

REPUBLICAN MATH… Red states slash taxes, cut services because of less revenue than blue states like California have to make up for their shortfall.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

You guys are being so mean to Kristi Noem, but sometimes you have to pay for Dalmatian puppies in cash.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

You can tell who the Good Guys are because they're the ones smashing a car window to drag a mother away from her child while wearing ski masks.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

yeah sure let’s just sunset all energy and environment regulation. like, all of it. sure. why not at this point? what could possibly go wrong? (that’s what this new EO claims to do)

This story gets so much worse. The trans woman who she refused to fence only finished in 24th place. Stephanie, the forfeiter, also beat *multiple* cis men in a regional match just one week earlier! And conservatives just paid her $5k for her kneel. Why is nobody talking about this?

CNBC comes right up to the line of flat out asking Lutnick if Trump is manipulating markets with his posts

(man douses himself with lighter fluid) (man shoots off a Roman candle to “fuck up the neighbors” but sets himself on fire) (man tries to pay out flames, spreads fire to his own garage) (man accidentally falls into swimming pool)

In a scream-inducing interview with CBS News, Kennedy said he's "not familiar" with the specifics of HHS's $11 billion in health cuts. www.jezebel.com/rfk-jr-prett...

Bitch, I lost nearly 8% of my retirement savings in the last 9 days, not to mention you're trying to rob me of the money I've paid into Social Security & Medicare for the last, oh, 37 years of my life--AND you're destroying the country. Damn right I'm "yippy." finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

Greatest thing since… Slicing it up to make lunch for the kiddos. Just a basic sandwich loaf using sourdough discard, half bread flour, half whole wheat. #breadsky

there is higher percentage of criminal records in the white house

I'm no expert but I think it's bad we have a global financial system that can be tanked by the fiat of a single person.

The pro-life party gutted the CDC yesterday. The Center for Disease Control. Disease. The thing that kills people. The logic isn't there, unless of course, killing is the point, which I think we can safely say that it is.

Nice people made the best Nazis. My mother spent her childhood in Nazi Germany surrounded by nice people who refused to make waves, chose not to focus on politics... They were lovely, kind people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. Naomi Shulman www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...

This. Authoritarians win by creating an atmosphere of hopelessness in order to preemptively suppress mass actions that could effectively challenge their power. Every single public act of defiance plays a critical role in stopping them.

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

Cory Booker

How is he answering the call of nature? Should we all hold our pee in solidarity?

Listen: you must understand worse is not a moment that arrives, but a process that unfolds. So if you are worried about everything getting worse do not look for a moment in the future, instead look at what is unfolding at was is currently unfolding all around you.

Californians can call Senator Schiff at 202 224 3841 and Senator Padilla at 202-224-3553 to tell them you not only expect them to support Sen Booker, you expect them to follow his filibuster with one of their own. They need to shut the Senate down. No more complicity.

Cory Booker. 👇👇👇

I sent my friend, who used to work in public health, an article about plans “to gut vaccine promotion and HIV prevention office,” and I asked them what they think will happen next, and in response they said: people will die, lots of people will suffer and die.

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked. The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/hun...
