I take fate into my own hands
No one will choose for me
I will never obey in advance
I will lay down my life
To meet my fate on my own terms…

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown.

Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down.

Why vote to legitimize Trump's coup?

More importantly though - this farmer, who was financially devastated by trumps first term tariffs, and voted for the same thing. Now he’s crying about it. I hope he regrets his vote and his kids blame him…

This is the true definition of inanity.

Trump has killed a total of 27 people in targeted strikes of vessels in the Caribbean Sea.

@jahimes.bsky.social and I discussed this very issue yesterday right before Trump blew up yet another boat killing all 6 aboard.

While our country suffers on Day 15 of a government shutdown courtesy of the GOP, Trump gives Argentina a $20 billion bailout at the expense of American farmers.

As Republicans attempt to whitewash history, it's the librarians who are defending the truth.

Director Kim Snyder’s new documentary β€œThe Librarians” is incredible. We talk about the film & why targeting the truth-tellers is just the tip of the authoritarian iceberg.
