Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

“Dear MAGA He was ready to put an innocent man in PRISON rather than admit he was responsible for fucking up a pool. A POOL? Imagine what he'd lie about/do if he were ever accused of, um, I don't know rape, being besties with a pedophile or criminal business practices Hope one day it clicks for you”

Can't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.

Trump celebrating Balogun’s eligibility to play for Team USA when his administration would strip Balogun’s citizenship tomorrow if he didn’t play world class soccer is really a chef’s kiss.

We fought our way out from the yoke of monarchy, we fought our way out from the antidemocratic framing of the US, and we’ll fight our way out from under ascendant fascism, whatever form it takes. The fight isn’t over. It never is. And there’s no time to rest on our laurels.

Thanks to Trump's tax cuts for the rich, Social Security's trustees are now warning the program will be unable to pay out full benefits by 2032. As I've said for years, there's only one way to reverse this trend. Scrap the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes.

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

utter incompetence would be laughable if it weren't real, if people weren't getting 💀

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

This is a video of federal immigration officers murdering a woman who was not attacking them. In Minneapolis, today. The United States Constitution protects all people in the United States, Conservative and Liberal. Its suspension will eventually harm all people, Conservative and Liberal.
