So Brigitte Bardot was big on animal rights…but women’s right? Didn’t she say Me Too was a ridiculous witch hunt? That actresses tempt male directors to get a role, then lie about harassment? In the same breath, she said she wasn’t harassed, yet liked it when a man told her she had a nice ass!

Maybe the shooter’s dad should head up the FBI instead of stupid K$H Patel with the stupid moniker. He actually persuaded his son to turn himself while Patel had no idea where to start or what to do, and just wastes his time on a “campaign of retribution.”

I wonder how Usha Vance feels now that her role in life, as a Brown child of Indian immigrants, is paying respects to the family of a racist man who said “America does not need more visas for people from India.”

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

So a bunch of racist white-supremacist Republican male legislators have locked a Black woman inside a room and are refusing to let her leave until she complies. Do I have that right?

I used to think I was scarred from having read Stephen King too young as a child, but now I realize I'm more scarred having to endure Donald Trump as an adult.

Oh the conundrum of having to say you’ve got a blood flow problem to get sympathy. But blood flow is too minor to care about. Yet you spent years advertising your great health with lies and memes. So you can’t say you’re very ill because then you’d lose popularity amongst your cult.

I’m over here trying to figure out why Zohran Mamdani’s idea of a relatively cheap baby basket ($75?) is a horrible, socialist waste of money, but Trump’s idea of $5000 for each baby born is a great idea that all his supporters are willing to pay for.

Another Jan. 6 violent insurrectionist pardoned by Trump has been arrested for committing a burglary, breaking and entering a home to steal things. 4 years in jail for the idiot in the WH, and let out scot free, just couldn't find honest work to do.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

How is Howard Lutnick fine with the Pentagon removing web pages about 9/11? 658 Cantor Fitzgerald employees died that day, when he was CEO. How does he live with himself working for Trump? Guess money matters more than anyone’s life – even his own brother, who also died on 9/11.

•SHOCKING. •TERRIFYING. •DEMANDS AMPLIFYING. Presenting: The Trump administration’s list of words and phrases these “anti-woke” weasels deem so highly objectionable they are essentially banning them from use in government agencies. Included on the list: Black, Native American,…

Twenty-four hours after The New York Times reported that Elon Musk and Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy clashed in a Cabinet meeting, Elon has unfollowed Duffy on both of his Twitter accounts.

This is incredible to witness. Sen. Glenn Grothman checks his notes, so he obviously planned to say these things —yet delivers a masterclass in being completely out of touch. This is exactly what people mean when they say their representatives don’t get it. Cringe!

That’s how this administration is planning to stop immigration. Threaten anyone who enters with a fatal disease.

✅Measles was declared eliminated in U.S. in 2000 due to the measles vaccine. 📍Today, Mexico has issued a warning to avoid traveling to the U.S. because of measles outbreaks in Texas and 7 other U.S. states.
