Idea of the Day...

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

The same people deep in their feelings over jokes about a dead Nazi are the ones who were cheering at the thought of people being eaten by alligators a month ago

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

I don’t remember the right being this upset back then—do you? 🤨

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power.

The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

The UK fired their ambassador to the US over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Meanwhile, Epstein’s best friend remains the President of the United States.

Lisa Murkowski is beyond pathetic.

Neat.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.

But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.

In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.

This is why unions are vital.

Trump’s Urban Power Grab Raises Fear of Troops at the Polls Trump’s Urban Power Grab Raises Fear of Troops at the Polls

Trump’s unprecedented weaponization of National Guard troops in recent months raises alarming concerns that the administration might be laying the groundwork to interfere with elections in key cities next year and in 2028.

My granddaughter went on a class trip to D.C. several years ago. I, and members of my family, have visited several times. My Dad is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. We walk around, ride the subway, visit the museums, eat out — do all the touristy things. We have always felt safe there.

Pedophile Rapist Felon Criminal Donald tRump admitted to raping women even before the 2016 election
& stupid gullible people still voted for a Rapist over a qualified, educated, & intelligent woman.
RepubliKKKan voters are more evil than Pedo Rapist tRump.
Imprison tRump now!

Only sexual abusers think a 14-year-old is able to consent, mainly so they don’t get arrested.

Happy😬 Wednesday!

Look at them—out there in the heart of our nation’s capital right now—facing down a fascist takeover with nothing but grit, signs, and the truth.

DC isn’t just fighting for itself. It’s fighting for every city, every state, every one of us. Stand with them. Join them.

Fascist U.S. will forgive your student loans and give you a $50k bonus if you become an ICE terrorist, but not if you choose to become a teacher, nurse, human rights lawyer, etc. 🙄

pred talk

Trump and his cronies claim they support immigration as long as it’s done legally.

But today, thousands of Afghans in the U.S. lose their Temporary Protected Status. They’re here legally and would be targeted by the Taliban if they had to return home.

The cruelty is the point.

Tomi Lahren just posted on the other place that the federal government should “let California go” and that California should get “not one dime.” Where does she think the federal government gets most of its dimes?
