Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

You fought for habeas corpus, put it in your constitution, and now you’re just gonna let a game show host take it away? You’re not losing your rights. You’re handing them over.

If you’re not watching Lazarus in between activism and doomscrolling, what are you even doing?

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.

If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

Oh fuck this dude.

Trump has been selfish and juvenile since the apprentice, he laid out exactly what he was going to do for anyone that cared to read.
This dude and folk like him wanted Other people to be inconvenienced and not themselves.
FFS Mexico is ALSO right next to us.
Wompwomo douchebag

If you're a journalist and Donold says 'you're not being very nice,' congrats, you're doing your job!

“It’ll be fine in 4 years.”

A century from now, the damage this administration has already done will still rear its head. We’re still paying as a country for things REAGAN did.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

If you wonder why men *obsessed* with the United States having more children are kidnapping children and sending them to other countries, those children were the incorrect color.

Yes

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025.

Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

House sparrows go completely silent and disappear from my yard whenever a hawk flies over. They don’t help the hawk.

I wish US voters were as smart as birds.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

Y’all it is okay to feel joy. In fact joy in the face of terror is a form of resistance. It can serve as a reminder of that which we desire to protect.

If this isn't the America you knew then you've never really known America.

“I insist on being shocked. I am never going to become immune. I think that’s a kind of failure to see so much of it that you die inside. I want to be surprised and shocked every time.”
― Toni Morrison

IDC how fine you are, you don't get a pass for being an asshole or stupid.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

This is the way

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history.

Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.

lmao getting fact checked irl

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla.

It's working.

There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences.

They need to scare you back into civility and compliance.

As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

Americans have bystander syndrome. Most just stand around waiting for someone else to do something. No is coming to save us.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

All this doom ain’t gonna scroll itself
