We are. And all the Republicans in Congress are complicit

It's just remarkable that the president of the United States is running an extortion racket in broad daylight and not only is the nation apparently unable to stop it, hardly anyone will even call it what it obviously is.

We’re 8 months in to Trump’s term, and the official administration position is that all good things are because of Trump and all bad things are because of Biden and Obama.

This shit would embarrass Orwell.

Family of Virginia Giuffre re: Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer

"It's w/ horror & outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker G. Maxwell has received.. Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children.. she should never be shown any leniency"

/2 Put another way, concern about β€œcancelling culture” reflects a greater sympathy for the comfort of people with money, influence, and relative power like Rod Fehlman to the detriment of the comfort and freedom of the people he implicitly threatened.

Turlock reverend: Catholics must speak up against deportations | Opinion β€œTheir silence suggests their indifference to the indiscriminate deportation of immigrants, something the church stands firmly against.”

Catholic priest Rev. Misael Avila says that Catholics who expressed religious liberty concerns about churches being closed during the pandemic but remain silent on the treatment of immigrants have a selective commitment to defending religious liberty.

We’re spiraling as a country, but thank God Trump’s on the front lines… fighting team names.

It’s the dementia.

It’s not weird that the president randomly made up a story about the unabomber, it’s weird that you are asking about it

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

I know it's hard for you, but Biden isn't president any more. Maybe write about the mental state of the guy in the White House.

The cascading effect of stupid is death.

And we are seeing that in the US and around the globe.

RFK JR and the β€œmanufactured weather” loons are the just the tip of the iceberg that’s dead ahead.

Mr. President, you love playing the schoolyard bully but, at age 79, it’s time to cut it out. It’s one thing to steal one kid’s lunch money, but your bill STEALS LUNCH MONEY FROM MILLIONS OF KIDS. Now, that’s real ugly.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?Β 

The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Trump Suggests He'll Pressure CNN, NYT Reporters On Iran Trump suggested reporters could be pressured into giving up sources on recent stories about the military strike on Iran β€” and the sources could be prosecuted.

So many media people lost their minds over 'censorship' when the Biden admin. asked social media companies to not platform Covid disinfo.

Where are they now when the current president says he plans to force reporters to disclose their sources? Crickets.

I know I'm not the first person or even the millionth person to point this out; it's not even the first time *I* have said it, but this is what actual First Amendment violations look like and the fact that none of the supposed free speech warriors are saying anything about it tells us everything.

The S Ct today did NOT deny anyone birthright citizenship; it addressed "nationwide injunctions," limiting courts from issuing them. They can issue injunctions within their district. Remember: this will prevent conservative judges from issuing nationwide injunctions in mifepristone and other cases.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

100% of Black people self censor at work. Its a job site not your personal safe space, snowflake.

I had this exact conversation this morning. I have no use for Iran but they are an independent nation with a right to defend their sovereignty.
