Maddow: If you don't have Bluesky yet, I recommend it. It is a social media network that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork

I saw this posted online. I don’t know who this person is, but she’s spot on. It’s past time for MAGA to own it.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

We used to wonder how the Germans allowed one little angry man to lead them into ruin. Now we're finding out, in real time.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Can I get an "Amen"?

I dread the daily drama. The government run by tweets. The oligarchy plundering the country. The ignorant masses making excuses for the imbecile they exalted. I’m embarrassed. I’m ashamed.

The one time Mitch McConnell told the truth about J6…

Today is January 6, the anniversary of the felon/GOP’s violent insurrection trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 election! We remember 140 officers who were injured & those who lost their lives due to the attack on the Capitol! Hold all involved in the insurrection accountable!

"Until ALICE, there hadn’t been a single mother on TV in a low income job, fighting for healthcare, fighting for benefits…Those stories came out of awareness of what was going on for working women.” Farewell to Linda Lavin (1937-2024) deadline.com/2024/12/lind...

❤️ Someone that you know and even love- 🧡 A family member, a trusted friend, colleague, parishioner, neighbor or the person stopped at a red light next to you- 💛 Is a member of the #LGBTQ community. 💚 YOU just may not know it. Be kind and inclusive. 💙 Homosexuality is not a choice- Homophobia is. 💜

Pete Buttigieg is truly one of the most genuine leaders in the Democratic Party and would make a great leader one day in an America. Share and ♥️ if you agree! ♥️

My Aunt's favorite Christmas Card

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget Pls do the same.

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere. The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back. A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year. Fiat lux! 📷 by @annieworsley.bsky.social

PERFECT.

I know the next 4 years are going to be a disaster. And I'd love the chance to say, "I told you so!" But I think it will fall on deaf ears. Any and all problems we face in the next 4 years will always be someone else's fault. This is how a cult works.

One CEO gets shot and now all CEOs are scared to go back to the office. Imagine how our children feel going back to school.

DEMAND A BAN ON ASSAULT RIFLES

Whoever this is, they’re tragically right.

People, There are tens of millions of people with felony convictions in the United States, I know people who have done their time, paid their debt, and SAVED LIVES upon return You are not mad b/c Trump is a felon, you are mad b/c he is unrepentant, made no amends, and paid no debt

Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process. For $250. For her classroom…

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. — Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen greater cognitive dissonance than in men who claim to love "Mad Men" because, as they put it, "men were men back then," somehow completely missing that the show is one giant, searing critique of toxic masculinity.

Y’all have been portraying Trump as “dangerously powerful” for a decade and where did it get us? Trump back in office. It’s ineffective messaging. It only helps him. If you want to weaken Trump, you have to portray him as being weak. This is the most important thing you’ll ever hear me say.
