1. She's president's human binky & controls his social media
2. Foreign govts use her a conduit for Trump
3. She's lied about much of her background
4. She wouldn't or couldn't get security clearance (see 3)
5. She has an obsession w/ Trump giving their relationship a vaguely inappropriate dynamic
the fact that john ossoff can kick off a two-day media cycle by saying that the president is uninterested in doing his job and is sleeping through meetings and traveling around with a young blonde, suggests that not enough of these guys are speaking plainly and effectively about these assholes
Sitting here ecstatic that insurance improved my drug after only one denial. Last year it took three.
This is a biologic that I've taken for 22 years and was on the clinical trial before it came to market.
Something is terribly wrong w/ our system.
It is remarkable how many establishment Dems simply do not understand they are in the middle of an existential war against MAGA politics, and that there’s no co-existence possible here.
America is not “a nation that calls to God in prayer.”
It’s a nation where people are free to pray, worship, or reject religion entirely without government telling them which choice is “American.”
Some movements whisper.
This one roars.
3,000+ events on the map. Millions already committed. March 28, we don’t ask for our freedom — we show up and claim it.
No thrones. No crowns. No kings.

7 years of free school lunches. 3 years of Medicare dental coverage. 2,000 Trump heads on Mt. Rushmore. 2.8 million public school teacher salaries. 2,857 luxury 737 jets, bedroom included. 378 years of federal public broadcasting funding. 500 more White House ballrooms. 2,666 Melania sequels.
The irony of a subscription plan having tiers and they show all the ads to the poor people on the bottom tier.
I can't even budget the extra money for ad-free--what makes them think I'm going to buy the stuff in the ads?
The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money.
In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it.
Taxation without representation.
JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."

Millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says reut.rs/4rpxDfl
Exclusive: The US State Department is developing an online portal to enable people in Europe and elsewhere to see content banned by their governments including alleged hate speech and terrorist propaganda, sources told Reuters reut.rs/4cySsA6
I've been pretty good in keeping myself emotionally checked through Trump 2.0, but this latest release of Epstein files has me seething at the injustice.
This is amazing 🫶
On Jan. 26 the Minneapolis hippie diner Modern Times made an announcement: all their menu items are now free, unless you're a federal agent.
The hours will remain the same, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, but the menu will be a bit smaller. The restaurant will run on donations.
We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️

Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."
In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
Americans are more or less inured to Donald Trump’s incoherent ramblings and political theatre. After his speech in Davos, stunned Europeans are inclined to call his behavior what it is: out of control.

It’s perverse beyond description: my own government trying as hard as it can not to protect my city, but to enraged, attack, and destroy it, I campaign of pure malevolent aggression, conducted by US government paramilitaries against its own citizenry.
Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor
Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes
Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day
Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods
Gavin Newsom is a presidential frontrunner in part because he not only talked the talk about fighting Trump, but came up with and executed a plan to actually do it. Other Democrats should take note. Words and stern letters ain’t sufficient.
Ted Cruz in 2016, "We're liable to wake up one morning and Donald Trump if he was President would have nuked Denmark"
"That's not the temperament of a leader to keep this country safe"
/2 In light of that, I am in awe and deep respect of the people who are still showing up to monitor the ICE Gestapo, protect and defend their neighbors, do whatever they can to hold ICE to account and call out their lawlessness. What incredible bravery.
Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open
