Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

This is the biggest single day protest in US history. Millions upon millions of people across the United States reject the Trump regime and fascism. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.

Kharkiv right now ❤️‍🩹 I’m almost crying. We’re banned from organizing celebrations. Warned against crowds and gatherings due to constant russian bombings. But we’re alive, and we’ll keep living. That’s our collective "fuck you" to russia.

Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.

The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.

I hope they get a TRO to stop DHS from sending him to Uganda

Breaking: Kilmar Abrego García has just been detained by ICE after arriving at the agency's Baltimore field office as part of a required check-in, according to his attorney. "The only reason to take him into detention was to punish him."

Antitrust enforcement in the United States DOJ had been a rock-solid institution of economic governance. Now it is a filthy tool of personalist power, rewarding loyalty and payments to one person’s allies. Corrupted beyond recognition. What is being shredded cannot be fully rebuilt.

The DOJ released the security video of Epstein's jail in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. The DOJ released the Maxwell/Blanche transcript in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. Such an obvious cover-up.

Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)

I worked at Target for five years, started a week after I turned 16. Fun fact: I was flat out told I could not have a promotion I was qualified for (and was coving lunch breaks for) because I couldn’t use a walkie talkie. (I’m deaf)

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?

Y’all out here complaining about Jizzlane Maxwell’s cushy camp cupcake prison digs & work release perks need to remember FL GOP AG’s let Jeffrey Epstein OUT of jail every day so he could go back to his mansion in Palm Beach and molest schoolgirls. Not a joke.

You know what would actually reduce crime and homelessness? Universal healthcare, free education, affordable housing and a basic living wage. When people have their most basic needs met, they have happier and healthier lives. Those hoarding the wealth don’t want to give us those things.

I'll say it a thousand times -- any account of the past that only celebrates the good parts of a nation without reckoning with the bad is not what we call "history" It is propaganda, pure and simple.

You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying." It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.

For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq. “If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.” National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC. A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.
