I bought Twitter for $44,000,000,000 and sold it back to myself for $33,000,000,000. I have 43 kids and no friends. Everything I make explodes

To Recap:

You can commit a crime by negligently divulging military secrets, in violation of the Espionage Act, and you will *not* be arrested.

But if you have an autism awareness tattoo to support your autistic brother, you *will* be kidnapped and sent to a concentration camp in another country.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

Please keep up the fight. I hate feeling helpless as these events unfold. Glad that I many others lobbied my VA Senators, who voted β€œno”

Thank you Senator for voting No (VA constituent, here) - I’m sad that 8 of your colleagues gave 47 what he wanted.

These are the Democrats who just helped Trump by voting for cloture. Beyond disappointing. Dems can do much better than this.

Senator - I am your constituent. Please vote NO on the CR and NO to Cloture. Do not help Trump destroy the Constitution and the rule of law. Trading minor concessions with your colleagues across the aisle only brings us closer to dictatorship.

To our allies, economic partners, & friends in Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, the E.U., et al. - I’m sorry about how badly my Government is fucking everything up. It hurts my heart to see 47 shredding democracy in the USA and screwing everyone else over in the process. I hope we can fix this.

I really want all Dem members of Congress to go and turn their backs or walk out en masse. Would be a striking moment!

I’m using the app - so should you!!! (If calling your members of Congress seems at all hard - this will dial for you & give you a script to read!)

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

There is no strict constitutional prohibition against giving the nuclear codes to teenagers, so it’s hard to see why liberals are so upset about the DOGE kids taking over the Pentagon.

@markzaidesq.bsky.social on the mass firings in the Trump DOJ: β€œThese are individuals that have spent 15-20 years inside law enforcement through multiple admins that are now being fired for daring to do one thing: they got assigned to work on a case that involved Donald Trump.”

That statement is all well and good but Rep. Clarke sounded like she was responding to a Republican proposal from 20 years ago. A totalitarian takeover needs more than stern and disapproving words!!!

How to Take Heart From What Really Worked in the First Resistance Marches and lawsuits are fine, but the real wins over MAGA last time were powered by grassroots activists pushing from thousands of districts across the country.

Been thinking about this topic a lot in the past few weeks…
