This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

I am afraid that without 4 or 5 Republicans in either the House or the Senate siding with democrats this is politically a done deal; and this needs to be sooner rather than later. He is steam rolling the courts and silencing the media. ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ•Š

I encourage every artist and production to boycott the Kennedy Center moving forward. I know it's hard. I know art doesn't pay most artists well. I would never shame an artist or production for choosing to perform there. But I ask you to consider the powerful message it would send if you didn't.

If everyone collecting Social Security votes against the newly fascist Republican Party, it doesn't take many supporters who aren't on Social Security to throw them out completely.

Great catching up w/my friend Harry Dunn. We need to keep raising our voices AGAINST pardons for the J6 defendants who attacked/assaulted & "beat the blue" for Trump.
Contact every elected official: NO PARDONS FOR INSURRECTIONISTS! You may ask, "what good will that do?" I say, how can we NOT do it?

In Texas, maternal mortality rates are deliberately being hidden. Politically damaging information is being suppressed.

Texasโ€™ abortion ban went into effect in 2022. As a direct result of the law, women in Texas had so many dangerous and deadly pregnancies in 2022 and 2023 thatโ€ฆ

two posts from threads

first is from @camillecardonaa and says: I just found out that only 1.5% of Japan's population is Christian and I'm heartbroken.

second is a reply from @orangedweller and says: Hi. Japan's homicide rate is 07% per 100K. United States homicide rate is 5.7% per 100K.
Japan's unhoused population in 2024: 2,820. United States unhoused: 653,104.
Japan also has one of the highest food security rates in the whole big world. Meanwhile, in the US, 18 million people are food insecure.
Maybe this Sunday you can ask the Christians what their bible says about poor people and murder. Sorry bout your heart.

Pete Hegsethโ€™s Troubles at Work Raise Questions About Leadership President-elect Donald J. Trumpโ€™s choice for defense secretary led two nonprofits into debt, and episodes of drinking continued into his days as a Fox News personality.

Fox's HR department had to look into Pete Hegseth's conduct at the 'Fox & Friends' Christmas party in 2016 and discussed it with him.

The following December,ย Hegseth got so drunk at a wedding of a Fox producer that he struggled to stand upright in a men's bathroom. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/04/u...

The Republican House majority may very well end up being the smallest in 100+ years.

Just 1 GOP defection and the Dems could kill a bill.
