The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide when the nation goes to war. President Trump’s strikes on Iran are flatly unconstitutional. There’s been no deliberation, no vote, no clear justification. This is a flagrant abuse of executive power.
A sad, sad day. Very sad. War never determines who's right, only who's left after a lot of senseless, unnecessary killing.😢
We're not the good guys. This is Trump using our military for a murder spree to distract from his failures. Whatever is in those missing Epstein documents must be really bad.
a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope"
(John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)
“…the government has chosen to intervene in what may be best described as a social-media pissing match between an avowed antifascist and a fascist – to arrest the antifascist.”
The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”
The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

Nothing says you think you’re inferior to the first Black President and First Lady quite like talking smack about them for the entire 10 years since they vacated the White House.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.
I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.
White supremacy is when an incompetent 23-year-old white boy can fabricate a story about Somalis and get personal praise from POTUS—but two seasoned award winning Black journalists with decades of unassailable reporting behind them get arrested for reporting on a protest with facts & receipts.
"If you're a US citizen, you'll be free to go after they briefly destroy your car, injure you, and spray pepper spray everywhere. Also they can kill you" -Brett Kavanaugh
Read this story and decide if this is the America you want to live in.
ICE saw a Latino man driving a car. Chased him down and rammed him. Just because he wasn’t white.
He was just a guy - an American citizen - driving to the auto shop.
‘Tis the MONTH of December,

"I’d better be good!"
SAINT Nick’ll be here soon,

with a warm "Ho ho ho!"
& a GLINT in his eye.

it is terrifying and awful that this passed the House with any Dem support at all (and once again, the continued leadership support for Cuellar is unconscionable)
call your senators and make absolutely sure this dies in the Senate, lives are on the line
trans people deserve so much better
Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, and Vicente Gonzalez joined Republicans in voting to criminalize trans health care.
The bill passed only 216 to 214.
4 Republicans voted no. If they did too, it would have failed.

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
