A Democratic president can't take a shit without Republicans accusing them of wasting tax money on toilet paper. And yet the orange clown goes to the Super Bowl and Daytona on our dime because God forbid any event happen where the Führer isn't the center of attention. Crickets from the right.

A great discussion on the podcast with @battleguidevt.bsky.social and @taubhistory.bsky.social this week as we examine how the French Army turned the tide at the 'Miracle on the Marne' in 1914 - one of the most important battles in European history! #WW1 #History battleguide.co.uk/nsq

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house." Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded. www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t...

It’s outrageous that preschoolers who need school lunches, seniors who need hot food from Meals on Wheels, nursing home workers who need Medicaid funding, and other Americans could have to worry about losing funding due to Donald Trump. I will keep fighting back.

THIS 👇 is how you call out this administration. This is Dem leadership. Other governors are also speaking. When the media doesn't get it out, we must pick up the slack.

BREAKING NEWS: A federal judge has temporarily blocked the freeze on federal grants and loans. Long fight ahead, but we have to keep reminding people how this federal freeze impacts them. Police. Firefighters. Senior centers. Food pantries. Student loans. Childcare.

Our political leaders should treat everyone with honor and dignity, regardless of their identity or immigration status. Thank you, Bishop Budde, for bravely supporting our community and holding our leaders accountable.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power. REPOST if you stand with Bishop Budde against Trump!

Passing off Elon's Nazi salute would be far more believable if they weren't also pardoning literal Nazis who tried to overthrow the government AND literal Nazis weren't cheering and getting excited over the gesture. Don't let them gaslight you.

We are, as a society, collectively failing on Neil Gaiman’s victims and all victims. I’m on some meds to chill me out right now, but feel free to discuss amongst yourselves. I hope you take something away from the worst things that can happen to people.
