Hurts is underrated
This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.
I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.
True colors
Trump fired Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden.
Past time to call this regime what it is -a White Nationalist project- along with corruption, tariffs,stupidity grift & cruelty. People who have lived & worked here for years are being dragged to Gulags & white South African immigrants are welcome
Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
What will you do?
More likely another Great Depression

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."
It's insane that Matt Gaetz can actually *STILL* be sworn in to the new Congress, he can still run again, and he's even talking about possibly running for Senate.
That's what happens when you elect a convicted felon as President: every asshole wants to get away with crime.
TODAY’S EPISODE OF:
WE FU*CKING WARNED YOU
NYC firefighter unions that supported Trump and Republicans are furious at the House decision to strip funding for the 9/11 healthcare program.
These two will be remembered by history as traitors to the Democratic Party, as their multiple no-votes crushed much of Biden’s progressive agenda. Voting rights legislation, environmental legislation, women’s rights legislation, and much more, all were torpedoed because of them.
The end of democracy
Celebrating a man who killed a homeless man on a subway. These folks have no bottom. We are living in a dystopia
Actually it’s pretty cool to see the duo of Maxey and McCain play so well.
