They'll cast these rallies as "angry" but everyone there is plainly having a great time because it's fun to get together with like-minded people to engage in the oldest American tradition: telling a tyrant to eat shit

What do you think made America great?

I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.

And I also know who truly hates America:

β€’ The KKK
β€’ 3 Percenters
β€’ Proud Boys

So uh..... Taxes still come out of our paychecks but the government is shut down?

Sounds like Taxation without Representation.

Kind of amazing how the guy 2nd in line for the presidency and (nominally) in charge of the house is so utterly uninformed πŸ™„

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson β€œyou regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Also can someone PLEASE explain to him the difference between insane asylums and seeking asylum. For the love of God. Please.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

Trump campaigned on β€œreleasing the Epstein files.”

Then the FBI found his name and picture all over the files, photos and videosβ€”now they’re keeping it under lock and key.

This, IMO, is the main reason why protests are important. There's this misconception that the whole point of protesting is to pressure powerful people into changing their behavior. But really, it's about finding the validation and connection that we as humans *need* in order to survive dark times.

I think it's sinking in for a lot of people across the country just how deep, how existential, our current crisis isβ€”that the governing system we lived under is being destroyed, and that there's no reason for confidence that we're going to be able to stop it from happening in time.

A tweet from Roy Drones Jr reads: β€œRemember when the right wing got upset about a vaccine card.” Below it, a retweeted post from Majority Report says: β€œICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: β€˜It’s not fair… I’m a resident.’” The image shows a man outdoors holding up a yellow citation ticket toward the camera, his face partially obscured. He appears to be wearing a dark jacket and sunglasses, with buildings and a bright blue sky in the background.

We are becoming a β€œpapers, please” country, and no one should want that.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days.

They have worked 12 days in 3 months.

Epstein Shutdown.

It’s Getting Worse. The Trump administration’s assault on the rest of us is intensifying.

Vice President JD Vance scoffed off the story, saying that β€œI refuse to join the pearl clutching.” Look man, it's really okay to condemn literal Nazi rhetoric!

Somehow it's only "demonizing half of the country" when Democrats mildly criticize Trump supporters. This just doesn't count
