I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Trump shitting on America

New view from the White House

"How do you expect to win back men...?"

Famous 2017 tweet by the satirical Werner Twertzog account. @WernerTwertzog Dear America: You are waking up, as Germany once did, to the awareness that 1/3 of your people would kill another 1/3, while 1/3 watches. 8/23/17,11:41 AM

We got comfortable believing our norms had the strength of laws until a demagogue showed he could go lower into the gutter than any politician in living memory — and win. He really could shoot someone on Fifth Ave. & not lose any support among 1/3 of the electorate. We’ve become a One-Third Reich.

Trump and GOP are planning on forever power. I still don't think people realize it. You need Democrats who are willing to step up and fight.

A criminal who incited a violent insurrection and brags about running and winning in 2028 and is building a $250 million White House ballroom is a man who doesn't plan on leaving.

Trump is going to stay in office until he dies.

Should be clear to everyone but we normalized it.

Washington Post: White House begins destroying East wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.

In the literature, we call rallies like this "image events" because they help **focus media attention** on a major strain of ideological resistance that is big enough for lots of people to feel comfortable. They create IMAGES that FOCUS our ATTENTION and AFFECT to mobilize frequently.

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.

Yes, the White House posted an image of Trump captioned 'Long live the king' An AI-generated image depicted Trump wearing a crown and the slogan "Long live the king" on a Time magazine cover.

It seems like we really need to be reminding people why this is being called a no kings march because this has been memoried holed pretty badly www.snopes.com/fact-check/w...

Treating the Declaration of Independence’s list of grievances like a to do list.

"He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people."

"For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate …".

JD Vance brushes off racist texts by adults in Republican group chat as ‘what kids do’ Vice-president downplays messages such as ‘I love Hitler’ in chat by 24 to 35-year-olds to ‘stupid jokes’

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill.

Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.
