So inflation is up, the COLA increase isn't beating it, and everyone is already hurting financially. Who has all three branches of government again? Yeah, that tracks. Conservatism. Not even once.

Hey #Florida ! Go earn your civic responsibility merit badge! The primaries are the real power in your party, and today, you get a choice! #FloridaPrimary #vote

At first, this seemed completely idiotic, but I realized it's because I don't think like a criminal. This is how he intends to monetize insider trading, isn't it?

So now that SCOTUS has essentially killed the VRA and conservatives are openly asking them to flat-out repeal the 14th amendment, were we being alarmist to say they want the clock wound back to the 1860s? Reconstruction II has to be a holistic purge. No exceptions.

Who would have thought invading Iran on a lie would lead to higher gas prices? Everyone. Everyone thought that except the senile criminal elected by the cult.

Trump managed to increase taxes on US citizens by leaps and bounds even after SCOTUS told him no and this time, he's making the world suffer along with us. Buckle up everyone, we're about to have a moment.

While the SCOTUS decision was both expected and good (albeit late), I would suggest watching the reactions of our former trade partners. Every time you see a "no big deal," or "nothing changes," that is power and trust Trump gave away on the world stage that we will never get back. Never forget.

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture. In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

If you want* to read Frederick Douglass's speech "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?"--a clear-eyed yet profoundly hopeful inspection of the gap between U.S. ideals and U.S. reality--you can read it as it was first published at the Internet Archive. * Yes, you do.

In July of 1852, Frederick Douglass delivered one of the greatest speeches in US history. Today it’s often presented in abridged form, though, and skips what seems like a long-winded introduction. If you read the intro closely, however, there’s an ingenious structure. THREAD👇🏽

Never forget, the reason U.S. citizens are losing rights fought for and won by their ancestors is that fear and bigotry are a siren song to enough people living among us to permit it.

To all those people out there that said "both sides" for the last decade, is there enough evidence yet to disprove your prior assumption? It was never true, and if you can at least admit it, when we (in theory) have elections next year. VOTE LEFT. It's the only apology that matters.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

The guy arguing this is feigning ignorance on behalf of a malevolent administration whose goal is to cause untold harm in defiance of the law while stifling the ability of the parties harmed to stop it. End of story.

So the Trump administration is arguing their birthright citizenship challenge before SCOTUS today, but listening to this, it's even worse than that. They're trying to kill the concept of class-action in the courts so in addition to stripping rights, each harmed person would have to sue individually

to have their harm remedied by the court. This would be an absurd precedent to set. The entire reason SCOTUS issues rulings is because we need some set of baseline rules that cover situations that cause harm. Those rules are SUPPOSED to apply to EVERY instance of that harm. That's the ENTIRE point.

All Republican sponsored voting legislation is based on what can cause Dem votes to be rejected. Everything Repubs do is a con, everything they say is a lie.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
