We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

"stop posting about politics, toaster boy" people say as shit like this keeps happening.

I’ve got the morning shift. This guy is dangerous and unfit to serve and I’m about to explain why. Tune in: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

So much evil in one photo it is actually staggering

There is still beauty in this world

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Damning.

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.

Thousands of books have been targeted for removal from school and public libraries.  In fact, we've been tracking thousands of book bans here. Yet, the U.S. Dept of Education released a statement calling book bans a hoax! bit.ly/4h76cS5 via @everylibrary.bsky.social

5 years of Netflix US profit: $15.1 Billion 5 years of Netflix exec pay: $652M 5 years of taxes paid by Netflix: $236M In a 5-year span after Trump's tax cuts, Netflix paid top execs 3x what it paid in federal income tax. Yesterday, Netflix announced it was raising prices again.

16 of the 26 Day One executive orders signed by Trump were ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025. Russ Vought, an architect of Project 2025, testifies before the Senate today as Trump's OMB nominee. Project 2025 was always the MAGA agenda.

Great article on where things stand with the criminal-in-chief (technically the criminal-in-vice-chief, now that Elon is POTUS).

Joe Scarborough and Mika from Morning Joe, their ratings plummeting, made a pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago because they decided if you can't beat him, grovel for access and help normalize him AGAIN. STOP 👏 WATCHING👏 MORNING👏 JOE👏
