Proposal for Donald Trump #ukraine #russia #usa #war #ukrainians

I don’t want to hear people say “eat the rich” so much as I want to hear them say, to the rich, “To the law, your money is of no consequence whatsoever. It will shield you from the law the same way empty air would shield you from a blade: it is irrelevant. No favors, no exceptions.”

The rules can’t depend on who you know or who you can buy. We have a nation of laws and if you can’t live within them without seeking to undermine them, you’re at war with us.

Seeing people post the usual assortment of guillotine memes regarding Musk, and while I sympathize, that is not what we need. What we need is a country where no laws will be bent, broken, or amended on behalf of someone who is incredibly wealthy or powerful. A state of no exceptions, if you will.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

What's happening to the Haitians who've settled in America is on par with Japanese American imprisonment without a war or anything but the most blatant racism to justify it.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

If you’re wondering what the vibe is going into the midterms the New England fall fair I went to today had a crochet guillotine for sale.

The @houstonchronicle.com posted this video and it's pretty jarring. No matter that he was fleeing, law enforcement officers may not use deadly force on someone who poses no significant risk of death or serious injury to others. Deliberately hitting someone with a car is a use of deadly force.

The more combative Dems get, the more of this they will run into. It will be a coordinated wave of elite opinion, scolding them, tamping them down. The fight strategy *only* works if they are willing to bull their way through it, blow it off, mock it. (Their history does not raise one's hopes.)

LOL Ukraine hit a Russian data center and Russian bot activity immediately dropped to practically zero. Elon is mad hahahahahaha

"The federal government is lying to you." "The government has said that ICE does not zip tie or handcuff children." "They’ve denied engaging in racial profiling" "They’ve said the government is not wrongly arresting U.S. citizens." *We found the truth* projects.propublica.org/american-cit....

Holy shit.

This is the best compilation I've seen so far of candidates for the Pennsylvania House and Senate who are in the closest races. These aren't multi-million-dollar federal campaigns; your donation goes a long way for these folks!

This is literally the difference between Saruman and Gandalf. Tolkien is very clear about the necessity to go out into the world and yap with strangers, preferably while smoking and drinking.

Jack Smith….man of the people at the Power to the People concert hanging out on the lawn….no fancy pavilion seats or backstage laminate pass

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

NEWS — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear criticizes fellow Democrats who say transgender athletes should be barred from women’s sports. “That is not the party that we are. We start as a party of compassion and empathy.”

The war in Iran is only “out of sight, out of mind” for someone like Ashley Hinson.

Idea: no corporate welfare, subsidies, or government contracts for corporations whose employees need to rely on government assistance because of low wages.

A hilarious summary

From the mountains to the coast, North Carolina is full of inspiring people and community. The more time you spend here, the clearer that becomes. Serving as Governor and Attorney General of my beloved home state was an honor, and I’ll continue to fight for North Carolina in the Senate.

Mike Rogers is just trying to take another swing at the revolving door of politics. 🚪 But if you want somebody who’s never taken a dime of corporate PAC money, then I’m your guy.

“Guys, they want us to go home.” 🔥 🇫🇷 French short film about what would happen to society if all the immigrants listened to angry old racist white men and left (aka the Republican agenda)

Crowds took to the streets of Dublin to protest Trump’s visit to Ireland, with demonstrators invoking Trump’s ties to Epstein and his alliance with Netanyahu.

this documentary is excellent — just watched for the first time. filmed by two brothers who were embedded with FDNY to make a documentary about a rookie firefighter. for someone with no memory of 9/11, this is the most immersive way to understand it

Okay everyone. Here’s the YouTube interview with @jimmykimmel.com and @jamestalarico.bsky.social You know what to do. Watch it. Share it. Donate. Bury them. youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

Chinook salmon have recolonised 88% of their historic range on the Klamath River, with more than 13,000 fish passing the old Iron Gate Dam site in 2025, up from 7,700 the year before. Two years after the dams’ removal, it’s going better than anyone predicted. buff.ly/pToC9gB #ShareGoodNewsToo

I think Mueller proved it. I just think he also believed that Congress would then do its duty. Oops.

Happy 60th anniversary to the brilliant universe of Star Trek, and all who made it possible. Live long and prosper. 🖖

We never imagined how far that dream would travel, into homes, into hearts, into the way generations imagined what we could still become. In a world that often feels as divided as ever, maybe that's exactly why we need it now: a reminder that unity was always the point.

Sixty years ago today, the starship Enterprise launched and with it, a vision of the future where humanity had moved beyond its divisions. I was there at the beginning, and I can tell you...

liberal democracy is not a luxury. liberal democracy is the magic beast that ran the table on fascism and communism and totalitarianism. we did not do this by giving up on liberal democracy and embracing evil. we did this by sticking to our most dear principles.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "I feel like Jon Ossoff has already liquefied and imbibed this book…He understands what offense looks like and how to get under their skin, but more importantly, how to raise the public's awareness about all the corrupt and strange things Trump is doing."

This is so incredibly addictive anyhumanever.com

As we elders, our daughters, and our granddaughters continue the fight for power, equality, and respect, we hold you in our hearts with love and gratitude. Rest in peace and power, Gloria Steinem. 🤍
