It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Zelensky taking a hard line right now is EXACTLY what the world needs.

Call out their lies, hold them accountable, speak in simple terms, and hold strong.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Trump calls for a Washington Post columnist to be fired

Trump Says He Will Install Himself as Kennedy Center Chairman The move by the president, whose authority to make the changes was not clear, is the latest attempt to bring a Washington institution under his control.

Ah the Orban playbook. Unfortunately, Trump has no culture.

2 weeks...look at how much he is destroying.

The Elite Lawyers Working for Elon Musk’s DOGE Include Former Supreme Court Clerks Much attention has been paid to the young Silicon Valley engineers working for Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, but the group has also hired high-powered legal talent.

NEW: ProPublica has identified three lawyers with elite establishment credentials who’ve joined the DOGE effort. Two of their names haven’t been previously reported as working for the Elon Musk-led initiative.

Here’s what we know about them:

There's a Progressive Coffee Social every Saturday for liberals, leftists, progressives, etc living in #HuntsvilleAL. 11am-1pm at Gold Sprint Coffee. Look for the blue roses!

Come to make like-minded friends, strategize, and plan what actions we're going to take in the second Trump era.

rampell is living my fantasy which is telling jennings to eat a dick (they will never let me on that panel show)

Trump declared in the anti-diversity EO that West Point can't teach "that America’s founding documents" — explicitly allowing slavery — "are racist."

Honestly, the stupidest fucking timeline.

Cutting off grants to academia, pausing clinical trials, etc., is key to this administration’s plan to kill higher education. Targeting intellectuals is textbook fascism.

A memo leaked to the Associated Press reveals that the White House has told the U.S. CDC to stop working with the WHO immediately.

This breaks protocol which requires the approval of Congress and a one-year notice to leave the WHO.

@netanyahu •@elonmusk is being falsely smeared. Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre in which Hamas terrorists committed the worst atrocity against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. He has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel's right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state. I thank him for this. Elon Musk ® @elonmusk •14h The radical leftists are really upset that they had to take time out of their busy day praising Hamas to call me a Nazi 5:39 AM • 1/23/25 • 30M Views

Screenshot of a young person holding up a sign that says “BREAKING: ICE IN KENTUCKY” The algorithm-facing comment says, “Had to share these cute winter boots I just got!”

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states.

To get past algorithmic censorship, they’re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.

CITY OF NEWARK = "Today, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided a local establishment in the City of Newark, detaining undocumented residents as well as citizens, without producing a warrant. One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned. This egregious act is in plain violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees 'the right of the people be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures... "Newark will not stand by idly while people are being unlawfully terrorized. I will be holding a press conference in alliance with partners ready and willing to defend and protect civil and human rights. Details to come."

The Mayor of Newark says ICE detained citizens and a military veteran in a warrantless raid there today. www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

I seriously can’t believe this man could possibly head the security of our nation. I guess we’ll just have all our top officials be r*pists! Allegedly r*pists.

Anyone who ever went to church should know how fucking nuts this is.

THE REASON THAT FEMA EXISTS IS BECAUSE STATES COULD NOT DEAL WITH LARGE SCALE DISASTERS BY THEMSELVES *IN THE 1970S.*

Now the disasters are bigger, there are homeland security threats, and this guy wants to roll us back 50 years.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."
