Evergreen post: He could be impeached tonight and convicted at trial in a few weeks and removed from office immediately thereafter if about 20 people in DC decided to put country over party for the first time in their miserable, self-dealing lives
Can someone explain this shit to me? I have a limit in TikTok and on iOS. So TWO LIMITS.
And no she cannot delete the app. WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT FOR PARENTS
I get hundreds of requests every day for money, donations, and to share stories. Imma one person and can’t do it all. But this one…
God bless our veterans. And our elderly. We need better systems in place. They shouldn’t be working this hard and this long. Especially our vets.

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.
After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇
"In their words and drawings, they convey how much they ache for creature comforts and describe the anguish of being trapped. They write about missing their friends and teachers, falling behind at school, having unreliable access to medical care when they’re sick...and feeling scared."
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
The guy who gave us Citizens United, gutted the Voting Rights Act and ruled that the president has immunity is now concerned about the rule of law? My dude.
I just think it’s funny that the president thinks making everything more expensive will be no big deal in a nation that exists because its ancestors overthrew their government rather than pay an extra tax on tea
The NIH is quietly pulling together Americans’ private health data — from Medicare to smartwatches — for RFK Jr.’s autism study. Privacy experts are sounding the alarm! Is this a research breakthrough, or a surveillance overreach? 📢🩺
My Suggestion (1) all federal elections rank choice (2) direct election of president (3) senate allocated proportional to parties by national vote (this will allow smaller parties to flourish) (4) house stays same (5) Supreme Court 18 year terms, staggered every 2 years
i am horrified to be an American today. horrified and embarassed and anyone that voted for these morons should be thrown out of this country until they can learn to act like an adult.
Keep calling your representatives - apparently Dems are annoyed by all the calls. I'm annoyed they've done jack to help the citizens of this country. Their motto should be: WWMMD? What Would (that asshole) Mitch McConnell Do?
"Trump's military deportation flight to Guatemala on Monday likely cost at least $4,675 per migrant... more than five times the $853 cost of a one-way first class ticket on American Airlines from El Paso, Texas, the departure point for the flight..."

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something:
Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain."
And just stand there.
This is how many of you are coming across.
If you’re a Democrat and you’re still aiming your fucking fire at Joe Biden kindly fuck all the way off.
The Day One Dictator said he is building a detention camp for 30,000 people.
Focus on that shit or fuck off.
Basically, the country’s been taken over by a bunch of internet trolls and podcasters who thought running the government would be as easy as complaining about it.
this piece is quite good mostly because it gets at the real reason for a lot of maga support. it's not about trump. they simply hate having to think about what they say and they absolutely will not stand for having to take responsibility for their speech. not remotely deep. nymag.com/intelligence...
a sign of a healthy and functioning democracy is that i'm getting emails from my kids' schools assuring me that the teachers are dedicated to protecting my children against the federal government
A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.

Decades of confirmation hearings where women testify to abuse and sexual violence, only for the men in question to rise to higher positions of power, is a perfect encapsulation of why more victims don’t come forward.
Pay attention to Oklahoma.
Bibles in classrooms isn't the big story.
The same legal teams behind the seeding of Dobbs are driving a case to create religious schools fully funded by the public & they've already petitioned the Supreme Court.
Understandably, everyone was focused on the election.
I’m going to say this for the next 1,459 days or the end of this country - whichever comes first - THIS IS WHAT COMES OF YOUR IMMATURE DUMB PROTEST VOTE.
Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.
There are legitimate critiques of AOC on this or that issue from the left.
But really, if there were 100 more representatives like her in Congress, we’d be living in a very different country.
She represents what the Democratic Party must become.
