It's definitely worth a watch for the simple truth that bigots always find a new target

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

My feed is slowly slipping into the German language (I don’t speak German) and I don’t know why or how to stop it. Help?

NEW ANGLE

Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage.

But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…

If he’s impeached we get…Mike Johnson. I don’t know if that counts as saved…

A win! The Senate has agreed to restore roughly $400 million in funding for PEPFAR, the landmark HIV/AIDS program launched under President Bush that’s credited with saving millions of lives around the world. Keep speaking up, it makes a difference.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Finally some good fucking news

Feels super gross to call him that. We had a whole global march about it-remember? Let’s not comply that quickly. Dictator may take a bit longer to spell out but isn’t nearly as generous. Kings reign over kingdoms, not destroy them.

WHY are you calling him King?? #nokings

They say to gain citizenship “the right way” then denaturalize those who have. US Citizens are next, mark my words. They already threatened to come for the “home growns” next.

I think people have forgotten that it took more than showing up to get the civil rights we have today. We can’t let our devotion to decorum and the Tolerance Paradox lead us to fascism. Sometimes it takes more and we need to stop being afraid to admit it.

Please don’t confuse my concern for the power of assembly for hopelessness. I have hope, I just think we need to be doing more than marching when we assemble

I feel like they are impervious to marches at this point. It almost feels performative if nothing changes every time we do march.

Bold of you to assume there will be midterms

Remember that one time in the 40s when all babies born at a Georgia hospital one day “died” but they sold them to Catholic Charities alive and well? This is why they want us in hospitals giving birth. Stop being shocked and read Project 2025 so we know what to expect and have a game plan to fight.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

@bradlander.bsky.social: "I was in a DHS detention for about 3.5 hours... I'm going to sleep at home in my bed tonight, safe with my family. But at Edgardo, who I was trying to accompany, he is in ICE detention. God knows where he's going to sleep tonight. And who knows what state."

Poverty is warfare. I’m sorry you’re in the trenches but please know you won’t be lonely down here and us poors are much funnier anyways

What are your thoughts on the ship and citizens that were kidnapped in international waters trying to deliver aid to a genocide? Their kidnapping violated the Geneva Convention in multiple ways so speak on it

God, it’s so annoying to have The Spreadsheets and The Data and know beyond of a shadow of a doubt that I’m Right, and then watch everyone without The Data make theories and decisions as if they have The Spreadsheets.

Even more fun when they go “Well, why didn’t you say anything?”

😤🤬 BITCH—

As someone who Spreadsheets all day, remind them of this when they make bad decisions. I need them to know Spreadsheet is Smarter.

True story bro.

When they say the protests are getting violent but forgot that camera exist

Everyone on Twitter right now.
