Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Hegseth is literally denying a story that the NSC has already confirmed and in which receipts were printed verbatim. Remember this the next time he impugns another journalist.

Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist? Hegseth: So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes

There are so many regular people I know who never spoke up until the last few weeks. The silent majority is actually raising their voices and it’s in opposition to what is happening.

To be clear: the United States Government deployed this family to a country with substandard healthcare with the promise that help would be on the way if they ever needed it. Now, Donald Trump twice denied this woman a potentially life-saving, embassy-requested medevac.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

I would just like to say this was the easiest thing to see from a mile away. Also, the protest voters actually just wanted to see America fall.

We got so used to hearing about the Heritage Foundation we aren’t even questioning why we are allowing them to just walk in and take over. We didn’t elect them to jack shit.

We shouldn’t accept a system that won’t help anyone. This is wrong.

A horrific story: A 22-year-old died from an asthma attack after his inhaler jumped from $66 to $539—out of reach when his insurance, a UnitedHealth Group subsidiary, stopped covering it. He struggled to breathe for five days before collapsing. The cruelty of our healthcare system knows no bounds.

The biggest act of civil disobedience for women would be to live their lives for themselves, amassing the greatest amount of wealth they can so they would be out of the clutches of the patriarchy. Because this country hates women so why are we providing it anything more than our tax dollars?

The bottom line wrt to TikTok flip flops is that Trump actually does not give a 💩 if there is a national security threat to the United States — even from a hostile country that wants to destroy us — as long as there is something in the “deal” that benefits him politically or financially.

If there is one thing I’m more certain of than ever before it’s that we need to be doing what our opposition has been doing for literally decades; investing long-term in durable local organizing infrastructure equipped to engage in year-round conversations with voters. 🧵

I’m not big on anonymous sources, but I saw this for myself. I was constantly fed conspiracy laden content, saw bot armies attacking posts, and saw fake accounts outed. The problem is no one is asking what is real, who is real, and most importantly no one is looking for truth just confirmation bias

The best way to fight what’s happening is locally. All of us have to get involved in state politics to elect those that will counter extremism. That’s the only strategy that will work.

This is the biggest pile of BS I have ever seen. Their entire foundation is based on Christianity and gods wrath and moral absolutism unless they need you in office. So, abortion? Always wrong. Literally ANYTHING ELSE is ok.

Markwayne Mullin: "Senator Kaine, or I guess I better use the senator from Virginia, starts bringing up the fact that 'what if you showed up drunk to your job?' How many senators have shown up drunk to vote at night? ... how many senators have gotten a divorce for cheating?"

What’s the answer to this? Arkansas had its own shady dealings for an abortion measure. Griffin would absolutely have done the same if it had passed. So if the people’s vote doesn’t protect it, what can we do?
