I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

A great day for Democracy around the world. Thousands are celebrating in the streets of São Paulo as progressive incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wins re-election, defeating the far-right, Trump-backed Flávio Bolsonaro. Also Brazil sending a big fuck you to META for election interference!

Do yourself a favor and watch a bunch of these Obama clips from his rally today in Ohio. He is on fire, just the energy we need.

The level of betrayal Republicans have demonstrated toward both Ukraine and the United States is monumentally evil.

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

Fun trick that Republican presidents can act like dictators because “unitary executive theory” but Democratic presidents aren’t able to govern because “major questions doctrine”. It’s almost like those are fake things fabricated to weaponize a Republican SCOTUS majority!

We need MEDICARE FOR ALL! I could be the poster child for this cause. For profit insurance has left me deeply in medical debt after fighting melanoma for 18 years. I pay crazy amounts in premiums, coinsurance, copays and they still deny me treatment and testing options. Please help and share! ❤️

Fighting #cancer is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's been an 18 year battle - now stage 4. I need to raise $ for my full body PET scan & the $4,900 Signatera tests (4x a year) insurance doesn't cover. 🔗 www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-mom... Please SHARE and help if you're able. I'm grateful. ❤️

I've been thinking a lot about the trans panic, how in addition to encouraging various forms of evil: it's bad politics. It's a right-wing wedge issue ploy, the thousandth one, meant to distract voters from the shitty economy & lost war & corruption. If you entertain it at all, the GOP already won.

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

#ProudBlueEarth #GTS #ResistanceUnited I cannot understand why anyone would kill an elephant for any reason, but to profit from their tusks is pure cruelty and greed. Yes, lock them up!

One of the many surreal problems we face as our society disintegrates is the good guys more than ever snipe at each other, disagree, while the bad guys cling to each other, support each other, bond with each other like cancer.

GOP Rep. Tom Kean disappeared for 4 months & missed dozens of votes then finally surfaced, read a 5 minute speech saying he was at a mental health facility, refused to take questions from the press, and MAGA supports his reelection. But the Talarico hoax is career ending.

Every single American should be furious that it was an illegal war and that they are committing war crimes in our name

Turns out that everything Trump is doing in the lead up to the midterms to try to boost Republican turnout is only producing the opposite effect while also boosting Democratic and independent turnout of people enraged at what he’s doing and saying.

Sent postcards to voters yesterday and I’m dropping my ballot off at a Dropbox today. Gonna squeeze in a text or 20 to voters and reward myself with a sassy pumpkin spiced latte and a trip to a local farm to pick pumpkins for carving. I’d say my weekend is on point. 🗳️ #MomsRising #MomTheVote #GOTV
