1/ I'm not trying to be "popular"; silly little things like truth and logic and reason are much more important to me. I don't get swept up with loud, "popular", ignorant, corporate-manufactured crusades. The vaccine issue is a hell of a lot more complicated than you think it is.

republicans!

There was a time when the United States looked down its nose at the countries in South America for being lawless banana republics. Who's the banana republic now, bitches?

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

ABC Mary Bruce deserves a Pulitzer Prize for asking the Saudi Prince this question:

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not just the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

For over 5 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the people in Congress most disliked by Democrats. No death threats. It was only when she turned on Donald Trump that she got death threats. Just like Senators only received threats of violence after they wavered on Trump's cabinet nominations.

Reminder: Every time you shop at an independent bookstore, Jeff Bezos loses a little bit of power.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Trump's 'Brownshirts'! It's disgustingly UNAMERICAN!

If you want to: Reduce crime, fix poverty first Reduce traffic, fix public transport first Improve employment, fix welfare and increase taxes Increase productivity, make education free Why do right wing govts do the opposite of what works? And they lie about it. So do “their” economists.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol $40B for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $98M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

The gaslighting bullshit of the GOP will not be tolerated. We are not the same. Wake the fuck up, America.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

One evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries consoles another evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries for not getting an award for which neither evil man is even remotely deserving.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

History has already got him down as the WORST president ever…

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Just how big is this baby gonna get??? A week shy of 7mos., 11lbs., taller than his mama...

History has many painful lessons.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

If an escalator that Jane Goodall had been on suddenly stopped moving, *no one* would have assumed it was because someone hated her.
