I'm interested in progressive politics only. No DMs, please. I don't argue with folks. I freely block and report magamororns and trolls.

The person who does need those things to feel superior has already told us the truth: he was not born great; he was born empty, and someone taught him to call the emptiness pride.

I agree. I bet you agree. If you do, you may want to repost this, too.

There is no word in the English language to adequately describe the anger and frustration and disbelief that Americans are feelingโ€ฆ.

Sorry to hear about Jeff Bezos's rocket exploding prematurely. A good technique to prevent that from happening is to try thinking about something you find totally unarousing or even repulsive, like giving workers a living wage or paying a fair share of taxes.

Note to Republicans who use "dirty tricks" If you have to lie about what you are doing, then you are not creating a better world.

1. Lead Left, a super PAC created on 4/24, purports to stand "against MAGA extremists." It has spent $3M+ in Democratic primaries. But it's funders and motivations have been secret. Until now. It's a GOP dirty tricks operation. ๐Ÿงต

Stephen Miller sucking up.

Stephen Miller: "Based on what I've heard, we could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them"

The last 4 Republicans elected president led us into 5 wars; 4 in the Middle East and one in Grenada. And thatโ€™s not even counting Venezuela or the upcoming Cuban invasion.

If you don't attend family reunions to pick up chicks, you understand what I'm saying here. If you do, you might be MAGA. And you're hopelessly lost. Don't let an orange dick-with-ears grift you out of your money. Or your vote.

Some folks in the HoR need to reconsider their Speaker's identity. This one is clearly not getting the job done..

How is this farce of a do nothing government still going on? It's as if the system that protects incompetent white men and women in power was built to protect incompetent white men and women to stay in power.

I am going to offer you the single greatest piece of leadership advice you will ever receive. Donald: There is no โ€œIโ€ in team. But there are three Uโ€™s in: Shut. The. Fuck. Up. You should really meditate on that.

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: โ€œ[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.โ€

The default assumption should be that anything that this administration says is a lie until proven otherwise. Tัump lies about everything.

Traitor Trump talks out his surplus ass constantly. I'm sure some people would love for him to take it to this type of level. Someone has to stop this fascist bullshit before people are actually killed. More people, anyway.

And once again, Ka$h manages to prove he's a stupid, no class jerk off. I guess he doesn't understand what the Arizona Memorial really is: a grave with the remains of 900 Americans who gave their live defending their country.

No, no, no. Not going back, you bunch of cowards.

Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones is one of my personal heroes. I recently had the chance to speak to him about the racist redistricting plot being enacted in his state and others in the South. Republicans are trying to bring us back to the Jim Crow era that so many fought (and died) to end.
