An American pressing forward in this upside down political environment of losing freedoms. Have to get up, stand up and not give up the fight!

Sunday morning news shows used to be an American staple. Now they allow Maga to respond with unchallenged lies and coward responses to misinfo. Shows are worthless to America.

🚨OH-MY-GOD: Karoline Leavitt just had a full tantrum and blamed Democrats for politicizing the flood in Texas. She claimed the National Weather Services were actually OVERSTAFFED in Texas. Ample reporting shows the exact opposite - it was understaffed. Leavitt is a LIAR.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene disclosed that she had purchased between tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock on April 8 and 9, the day before and the day of President Trump’s announcement that he was pausing a sweeping set of global tariffs.

Corruption is quickly becoming the through line, and the message from the Los Angeles stage hammered this home: Your life feels more difficult, more stressful today as a direct result of a deeply entrenched plutocratic perfidy.

The Democratic Party has reached a new low, the latest national NBC News poll finds. It's searching for a path forward after a loss to President Trump, and the party’s voters want their leaders in Washington to put up a fight.

nbcnews.toDemocratic Party hits new polling low, while its voters want to fight Trump harderUnlike in Trump’s first term, Democratic voters say 2-to-1 they want party leaders to fight rather than compromise, even at the risk of not getting things done, per the NBC News poll.

They made a homophobic, anti-mask, misogynist the face of their company and then act like victims when decent people decided not to buy their vetbro beer. The punchline: the CEO of Armed Forces Brewing never served. It’s a marketing ploy. $300K from Youngkin wasted. www.whro.org/business-gro...

Replying to @jamellebouie.net

the actual claim is that it is better rather than worse for the corporate world to make integration a goal. and so my question for bhaskar et al is whether they think efforts to integrate workforces are divisive to the working-class and, if so, what exactly do they imagine is the working-class?

I filed the class action to prevent access to that list. TRO hearing before the judge in District court at 10:30 am.

This week, the FBI handed over to the Justice Department a list of thousands—thousands—of employees involved in the January 6th investigation. This retaliation will get much worse if Kash Patel is named FBI director.

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

MSM is in partnership with Trump.

While members of congress were trying to enter the USAID building, cable news instead chose to broadcast Donald Trump signing an executive order.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

Because they’re Black, they must be looting? This isn’t an honest mistake. Spread truth, not lies: These folks weren’t looters. This footage is from KTLA, where the homeowner explained that her brothers & friends were helping her move belongings out of her burned house. (Her interview in the 🧵)

Costco responded to shareholders requesting that it withdraw from DEI policies. The response was direct and to the point: Costco says, "Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect & inclusion is appropriate & necessary." ❤️COSTCO♥️
