But he can’t do that!!! Did it. But he can’t do that!! Did it. But he can’t do that! Did it. But he can’t do that. Did it. But he can’t do. Did it. But he can’t. Did it. But he. Did it. But. Did it.

Reminder that the new influx of pro-MAGA troll farm accounts are being ran by TPUSA operatives. It is a mix of bots and college students managing different accounts, modeled after Israel's Hasbara propaganda program.

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

I'm not sure that's entirely the case. In some ways, you're absolutely correct, but the families and institutions that got rich off of slavery (including being paid reparations when it ended) are mostly still around.

What we're seeing today is the result of generations of spending and activism 1/2

MAGA loves the cruelty. Their ancestors for the most part were slave owners. Lincoln made bad decision not to imprison the confederate generals to send a message. so we have we have today.. nothing has changed since 1861

We’re living through another episode of the righteous family farm fantasy. We’ve seen the Intro where they vote for the bigot. Now we’re waiting for the climax where the bigot takes our tax money and gives it to the real welfare queens.
Then they all buy a new truck and wait for the next election.

"Let's see what's out there..." It was 38 years ago today (Sept 28, 1987) that "Encounter at Farpoint" had its premiere broadcast, introducing Capt Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise-D. I'm proud to have been a member of the team who made the show at Paramount.

And anyone claiming neutrality is also a fascist. You can’t be neutral or apolitical.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

(Senate republicans can change the rules with a simple majority to pass a continuing resolution with 51 votes. They do not need democrats. At all. So if they really want to fund the government, they will.)

Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.

While I’m at it: You guys know what to do!!

Trump leaked this story because he wants to you hear it. Let’s be clear :: Trump wants you to blame a shutdown for shit he is planning to do anyhow. If dems cave and fund him, he will STILL wield executive power and slash government programs. He HAS BEEN doing that with the government open.

Crushing the imperfect-but-helpful progress we’ve earned over decades is baffling to me. It’s like these fools have no awareness of how much suffering over decades got us this far, and their whimsical purity-testing just destroyed it all.

I will never, EVER, forgive them or those who chose not to vote.

It's pretty plain - he's trying to foment violence as an excuse to use AD military on the part of the American population that opposes him.

Stand by. Vets, DO NOT forget your oath.

and that is why I encourage people to protest ECONOMICALLY

....go after Trump's corporate sycophants

BOYCOTT Trump backers

Trump cannot deploy troops against ECONOMIC PROTESTS

Trump is trying to incite protests....

....to give him a pretext to deploy troops

NOT just national guard....but regular troops

California just made it legal for doctors to mail abortion pills anonymously—protecting providers from legal harassment while ensuring access.

Meanwhile, other states are criminalizing the same care.

Thank you, @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social for leading by example.

True

Too many and I still don't feel confident. I just apply the sunk cost fallacy halfway through 😅

Maybe I do need to stamp lesbian across my forehead because everywhere I go, I'm assumed to be straight. I can't take it anymore.
