Yesterday in Louisiana, Dems won a Trump +13 seat - a 38-point swing.

It’s a great year to run for office and it might not be too late to get on the ballot. runforwhat.net to get started.

Oh, baby Amalia. I'm so sorry this country is failing you so badly. 💔💔💔

I am soooo ready for the Analog Renaissance. A digital and electronic backlash precipitated by the slop from AI.

Great thread. So correct.

Meme that reads: When ICE: - Shoots civilians - Disappears people - Violates due process - Terrorizes communities And Congress keeps funding them and moving on... That's not powerlessness. That's consent @resist.riseup.movement

Annoying. Not enough. Congressional Dems are far too tepid. It's frustrating but at this point unfortunately expected. This is why Congress has a low approval rating despite Trump also having one.

In Ukraine, when a funeral procession with a fallen soldier goes by, everyone stops whatever they are doing to stand silently. Traffic stops. Public transportation stops. Conversation stops.

In Lviv, people take this tradition a step further. Most people the procession passes take a knee.

All the way to 6 for me!

Left Dog is Scooby Doo's Shaggy, Right Dog is Christie's Hercule Poirot. Look at those little grey furs at work.

a meme — the top says “My dog just got a haircut and now he looks like he gave up drinking and got his life together” and underneath are 2 photos of a dog (a schnauzer i think?). on the left, the “before,” he’s scruffy and in need of a haircut and a bath. and on the right, the “after,” he’s clean and clipped and wearing a jaunty red bow tie and looking very dapper indeed.

i don’t know if it’s the jaunty bow tie or what but i cannot stop laughing at this

Imagine the gall of telling an elder stateswoman how she should conduct herself. I mean, it's really easy to imagine, & witness & live through daily, but honestly. What a dingleberry. Shove it up your ass, McGuire. How's that for Vocabulary.

I mean "now" as a relative term. I'm not sure when DHS was ever as useful as it purported to be upon its formation. And every pre-Trump Abolish ICE protester can give the rest of us who either didn't know of the cause (guilty until 2018) or didn't support it a huge ass "I told
you so."

If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

No matter what the pedo prez says, we won’t stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles. All survivors deserves justice & closure. Every person involved in the torture & trafficking must be investigated, & serve appropriate consequences. This isn’t politics. It’s humanity.

Finneas and Billie

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

Abolish the DHS. What's the stupid point of it anymore? The terrorism is now coming FROM THE DEPARTMENT.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

If Republicans do poorly in the midterms, it's Stephen Miller's fault.

All of this. And if you think that post was NBD, or you're just inured to it at this point, you're showing us who you are.
