A tweet from “Aaron Rupar @atrupar” reads: “Mark Kelly: ‘He’s talked about sending troops into more cities, he’s talked about invoking the Insurrection Act… You don’t have to go too far back… when he went to his Sec Def & said, “Can’t we just shoot these protesters in the legs.” That is an example of an illegal order.’” Below is a CNN screenshot with two anchors speaking on-air. The chyron reads: “TRUMP ACCUSES DEMS OF ‘SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, PUNISHABLE BY DEATH.’”

If and when Trump or Hegseth gives the order to fire upon U.S. citizens, the military must remember their oaths are to our Constitution, not to these madmen.

Mamdani on the 86 Democrat "leaders" who tried to humiliate him by voting with Republicans to condemn socialism: "I focus very little on resolutions. I focus on THE WORK: making NYC affordable. I am a Democratic Socialist." 👈 LEADERSHIP 💪

Mexico pulled over 8 million citizens out of poverty in the last seven years using only policy. How? They doubled the minimum wage. 🇲🇽🤔🇺🇸

No, we don't want "free" healthcare. We want universal healthcare paid for by our taxes that covers everyone and leaves no one bankrupted and sick.

A comic by Susie Esse about a little brain that fears failure but also fears success. Brain says “I’m scared, what if we fail!? Or worse, what if we succeed and people think we know what we’re doing!?”

✨My fear of failure is balanced out by my fear of success✨ #susieesse #braincomic

The whole “feminism is antagonizing men and turning them into misogynists/rightwingers” take gives me the same energy as when people were insistent that BLM was making white people racist

Facing Therapy I can't change the past, of course. Even if I could, I wouldn't want to. "But why not?" you may ask. Listen, if I could reach back in time and advise my younger self to do things differently, how would that affect the way things turned out for me? Maybe with such advice I would have been able to get more support, avoid letting my limitations damage me, make better use of my talents, but then my life would have taken wildly different turns and I would now be in a completely different place.

I have a bunch of crows that follow me on my walks now, and suddenly a bunch of them landed close and started cawing nonstop furiously. I thought I'd pissed them off somehow -- when a coyote rounded the corner. Trotted past me on the opposite side, side-eyed me, and kept going.

No truer words...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way

Your School House Rock moment......

Coloradan Trisha Calvarese is working to unseat Lauren Boebert.

A longtime fierce progressive and dear friend of mine is working on this campaign, and I'm excited to see someone with a real chance to consign Boebert to the cesspit of political history.

I mean, how bad could they be? 🤔

To give in to tyranny is to be complicit in that tyranny.
