Very cool, a nice memorial to the lost lives.

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

Butt kissers. Trying to be polite there...

"The Constitution was not designed to restrain a president as evil as Donald Trump." - Ty Cobb, former member of Donald Trump's White House internal legal team (2017-18).

What's that phrase? Oh yeah. NEVER FORGET!

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. No matter what happens, it can’t be forgotten.

Gah! More influencing the market from POTUS. What a corrupt administration we have. "The best grass?" I think not; that would be OG Kush or Dream Queen. LOL.

We need a Nuremberg-style trial in 2029. We also need Congress to pass laws rather than rely on "norms" and "guardrails" to ensure nobody like Trump happens again. Stop authoritarianism in its tracks. Stop corruption in the White House. Please.

When they say the quiet part out loud.

Hirono keeps asking Blanche yes or no questions about his own activities -- and Blanche keeps lying

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

We don’t have a government. We have a crime family posing as one.

Eddie Glaude: Stephen Miller is a racist. He’s a white nationalist. White nationalists have seized the federal government. Great Replacement Theory motivates this immigration policy. We need to call them for what they are. This is a white nationalist agenda and these folk are simply rabid racists

For seven years, I did exactly this. Where's my video? (Not kidding, but in all seriousness this is a great demo.)

The arguments given in the dissents were horrid misinterpretations. Look, I know SCOTUS knows the Constitution far better than I ever will, but the black dude says it was only for blacks and the originalist dude says we'll "pollute" ourselves if we allow it? Wut?

Very much yes. We prosecuted Boss Tweed, and this guy is even worse.

Awesome! Stand Up For Science!

Here's what the media won't show you: three formerly incarcerated Black men who are now authors. You can learn a lot from their stories. This BLACK-owned online bookstore has their books in stock ✊🏾📚 #booksky #blackbooksky #blacksky

It seems the USA's 'manifest destiny' is to elect the very worst people among them and destroy the democracy they swore to defend.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has delivered on his signature campaign promise after New York City's Rent Guidelines Board voted 7-1 to approve the first-ever two-year rent freeze in the board's history for roughly 1 million rent-stabilized apartments across the city.

Staggering levels of corruption. They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families. And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.

The Albanian people have been massively protesting for several consecutive days against slumlord crook Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka seizing land in their country to the sum of billions of dollars to build a trashy resort. I hope they don’t stop until their evil corrupt deal is reversed.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

Sadly, not wrong. "Graft and corruption rife." (Old desktop gaming reference, if you go back that far.)

Bingo! It’s their common denominator.

Many people quote the Sermon on the Mount: "Blessed are the peacemakers." I love it. Although I'm a non-believer, I agree. However, I can't help being reminded of: "Blessed are the cheesemakers." "What's so special about the cheesemakers?" "It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products."

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

That sound you hear is me, slapping my face as I say, "No!" in a sarcastic voice. Trump won't ever admit that her "failure" to get revenge on his enemies was because his enemies were in the right and neither he nor Bondi had a case against them.

From "TOTAL EXONERATION" to "Mueller was Trump's persecutor," these guys have never told the truth about any of this. ICYMI @cathyyoung63.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4bG6Cxd

Completely peaceful where I was, too, except for two randos driving red trucks with Trump flags flipping off people and almost running someone over.

I'm updating the famous Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times" to "May you live in incompetent times" to be more relevant to those of us living in the United States right now.

8 million No Kings protesters Zero police officers beaten Zero police officers killed Zero feces smeared on walls.

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

When you tell so many lies you can't keep 'em straight... The Liar in Chief.

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

Wishing everyone a joyous NO KINGS DAY 3.0- Thank you to everyone across the globe for your participation in the Resistance... an inspiration to us ALL!!! 🙏 The signs you're carrying are off-the-charts perfection. 👌 7 months until the Midterms! 🗓️ #NoKings2026 👎 👑 #AccountabilityIsComing

Saying the quiet part out loud as the Authoritarian attempts to control the truth. #25thAmendmentNOW

Inconceivable indeed …🔻

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

American Gestapo. Just missing the brown shirts and red armbands. I'm going to keep saying that.

@support.blizzard.com are you having connection issues? I am, and it's not on my end. I'm not having any issues with any other internet thing I'm doing.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

This is where Dems have lost ground in the last decade or so: focusing on being "correct" versus helping people. Of course, we should correctly acknowledge everyone's view of themselves, but Dems forgot all people's self-view includes their personal economy. They're starting to remember.
