We need a constitutional amendment that gives the people the power to remove a sitting president if Congress refuses to do the job. This is getting ridiculous.

If you’re watching Fauci’s testimony remember that science isn’t an ideology. It doesn’t lie. It evolves. COVID-19 was a once-in-a-century pandemic caused by a brand-new virus, recommendations changed because the evidence changed. That’s not deception. That’s how it works.

In January, Zohran Mamdani took action against bankrupt landlord Pinnacle, which was responsible for over 5,000 housing violations. Thanks to his intervention, Pinnacle's new owners have forgiven millions in tenants' back rent. This is what governing for the people looks like.

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

The Ukrainian decision to double down on drone warfare, from the battlefield, to mid range and long range strike, and not to draft all of its young men to make infantry, will be seen by historians as one of the most important decisions in 19th-21st century warfare.

I am begging Democratic leadership: don't make fear the strategy for 2028. The GOP attacks everyone. It doesn't matter if it's a woman, a man, a Christian, a moderate, or a progressive. Pick the best candidate. Trust voters. Meet the moment instead of running from it. #ProudBlue

Dr. Patricia Bath overcame sexism, racism & poverty and saved the sight of millions of people. She invented the Laserphaco Probe for cataract treatment, 1986; it was patented in 1988. She co-founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness, 1976. She died #OTD in 2019. #WomenInSTEM

“It’s just burning. I just wanted to try to keep people safe.” ICE fired pepper spray at Senator Andy Kim and protesters outside a detention facility in New Jersey. Not another penny should go to these out-of-control agencies — and when we regain power, we will hold all of these thugs accountable.

It's not a national security issue if the person elected as President can't go more than 3 weeks without an assasination attempt. That's a personal issue.

This Memorial Day seems particularly sobering in light of how the principles this country was founded are being corrupted by those in power. The image of Aragorn calling upon dead warriors comes to mind. Do we need to call upon America’s fallen to again assist in the defense of those principles?

The U.S. and Iran are contemplating a preliminary memorandum of understanding to potentially consider opening exploratory discussions about the possibility of future negotiations, pending clarification, interpretation, review, regional consultation, weather conditions, and vibes

i don’t see any reason why any american should care about any ‘assassination attempt’ (*cough*) directed at a tyrant any more than they care about school shootings in fact, it’s obscene that they apparently do

The Danish gov’t has installed floating platforms planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in the harbors and canals of Copenhagen, to create urban habitat sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life. #FlowersOfBluesky #InnovativeSolutions💡

This is Memorial Day weekend. It’s a solemn federal holiday honoring are fallen military members who died in the service of the United States. Let’s not forget what we’re fighting for our democracy and for them who gave so much. ❤️🤍💙

A SCOTUS that believes that the Constitution protects the political rights of corporations more than it does those of non-White Americans is fundamentally illegitimate and its rulings should be treated as such

DOJ indicting someone for posting 86 47 on social media is far more dangerous to Americans than someone posting 86 47 on social media. The real crime is the indictment itself.

No judges should be fired by anyone except maybe The People. Impeached maybe. But fired? Absolutely not. Something needs to change.

The Trump administration fired two immigration judges who dismissed deportation cases against pro-Palestinian international students. The firings of Roopal Patel and Nina Froes are the latest move to reshape the country’s immigration courts.

When leftists criticize the Democratic Party, party loyalists often complain it is hurting the party. We care about what is good for the country, not just the party...

The fact that Donald Trump didn’t follow through on his threats of committing genocide doesn’t mean we should move on from the fact that he threatened to commit genocide.

ME Keeper of the Flame reposted

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

Abhorrent is the word.

Kamala Harris@kamalaharris.com

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
