There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

When will the UK government wake up and realise that Trump, Musk, X, Palantir, Putin and others are all part of the same existential threat to Western democracy? Liberals need to stop wringing our hands and fight back!

I suspect Natalie Harp played a role in getting rid of Katie Zacharia. The hand that changes the diaper will have influence.

Where are OTHER FORMER PRESIDENTS? Where are Retired Members of Congress? Where are members of the Retired Military? Where is the National Guard? Where are Representatives of All the Great Religions? SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING BEFORE YOU CAN’T say anything ANYMORE What does this 🇺🇸 MEAN to you?

He didn't send agents after a criminal. He sent them after a Congresswoman who talks back. On the eve of an election. That's not law enforcement — that's an abuse of power with a badge. We stand with Ilhan Omar.

Canadian automakers have developed an EV car that can travel 500+ km on a single charge, shows snow covered lane lines on your windshield on snowy highways, and heatmaps animals on the side of the road so you have a warning about deer and moose at night. This is for us. BRING IT TO MARKET!! 😍❤️🍁

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

💯 “Feminism doesn’t hate men: it hates abusers, aggressors, sexists, misogynists, femicide perpetrators, pedophiles, and freeloaders. And good men aren’t bothered by this, because they hate them too.”

We should all be disgusted of the White House Press Corp. No one walked out No one told Trumpy to go fuck himself. No one said mean things to Trumpy after he chopped down another pillar of American Democracy. No one asked for proof any of them published 'fake news'. No one did anything. Sad.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

The more time I spend on this planet the more convinced I become that the only positive outcome organised religion has ever achieved is some pretty stunning architecture.

The Chinese government has a significant advantage over the West because it doesn't have to ascribe to any form of religion. The requirement of demonstrating fealty to an imaginary friend in order to be considered worthy will always mitigate against effective leadership.

(1) I keep thinking how far we've fallen and how shattered we are. MAGA and the Billionaires are hyper organized and relentless. They may be wag the dog led by the ultimate idiot, propped up by idiots, but the diabolical fckrs in the not-so shadows are bulldozing US because we're not united.

When I became a dad, it changed the way I see the world. We need new people thinking about the future now. Lower costs. Better healthcare. Jobs. A Michigan our kids deserve. More time with each other. I’m Abdul El-Sayed, dad, and I approve this message.

I hate social media as much as you, but it has its moment. Example? Learning that Nocona Boots had ads back in the day that were perfect dime novel/awesome Western pulp/vintage men's magazines covers.

If you live in a state with wild horses, tell your governor to be like AZ Governor Katie Hobbs & shut down the wild horse slaughter pipeline. Also AZ, Katie Hobbs is a keeper. Get ready to vote for her again in 70 days! She is a fearless fighter for AZ!

Adrian Fontes a Marine veteran, former prosecutor, now Arizona's Secretary of State-just turned down a federal demand for our voter data. He modernized Maricopa's elections, delivered record turnout in 2020, and keeps fighting to protect the integrity of Arizona's vote. #ResistanceUnited #Pinks
