Alligator Alcatraz: The Year Ahead in America’s Swamp Prison It took eight days to build Alligator Alcatraz.

The cruelty is the point.

The danger is the point.

And the collateral damageβ€”your family, your community, your clean waterβ€”is a price they are perfectly willing to pay.

Accusing women of color of being low IQ seems both racist and misogynistic. This used to be shocking. No longer.

Trump is really speeding up this poem. He's gone from "First they came for the immigrants" straight to "Then they came for sitting United States senators."

Better act quickly if you want to save democracy, America.

πŸ“ŒQUESTION: How can a private citizen, with zero govt. clearance be walking through the doors of OUR federal departments and the treasury, ransacking the places, stealing information, and NOBODY is stopping him?

πŸ“ŒAnd what the fuck is law enforcement doing right now?

πŸ“ŒTHIS IS A COUP.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

It’s getting terrifyingly clear folks: DOGE is a Trojan horse for full authoritarian takeover.

The First Felon just claimed authority to freeze billions of funding for bipartisan infrastructure projects across the country. Will Republican members of Congress whose districts and states are getting screwed continue to be cowards and just accept it? FF is taking his party's sheep to slaughter.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.

Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

🚨BREAKING: @DouglasEmhoff reportedly confronted Bruce Fischer, Sen. Deb Fischer's husband, at the inauguration, saying, β€œWhy would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?” This came after Fischer declined to shake VP Harris's hand but attempted to greet Emhoff.

Rescinding the cap on insulin at $35 only makes pharmaceutical richer and everyday Americans, including MAGA voters, seriously poorer.

So why does Trump do it? Because all he wants is to destroy anything Biden achieved, no matter how much damage it causes.

That what sociopathy looks like.

I was really hoping we'd have a woman as president before we had one from South Africa, but here we are.

This is not justice and it sickens me. DeValkenaere and his wife are friends of incoming Missouri Governor Kehoe and his wife. #sayhisname #CameronLamb
