On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Oh, so guns *do* kill people? Gotcha.

Good morning to you 🌞 from the Southern Coast on the

remember when Trmp said he didn’t get killed bc he had god on his side? (But one of his supporters did get killed, so…?) Anyway. I wish these children in church were as lucky.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

YouTube video by Robert Reich How to Take the Fight to the Oligarchy

People ask me all the time: how do we actually fight the oligarchy?

Here's my answer.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Donald Trump's Executive Order Restores White Supremacy The whitest executive order of all time is a perfect example of how fascism starts.

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.

All you need to know about Twitter

It seem insane for a US Senator to say we've all been subjected to "a relentless bombardment of Marxist propaganda." But what he means by this is 1) there was a Burger King ad with an interracial couple and 2) Star Wars Episodes VII-IX had a female lead.

The truth is there needs to be younger leadership of the Democratic Party. I say “of” because there’s younger leadership IN the Democratic Party but there must be leadership OF the Dems by younger folk. The older folk need to move on. You cling to power at a cost. Leadership must be BLACKER, BROWNER

Musk keeps firing us, and with all this free time, we’re organizing America. They call us “paid protesters”—but seriously, where do we sign up for that paycheck? We’re open to those “Soros bucks.” Every day, we spill the tea, knowing retribution is coming.

A tweet from ununusual_whales @ununusual_whales with a breaking news headline: 'BREAKING: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with the President Trump at his Florida compound, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting, per WIRED.'

Bribes. They’re known as bribes.

We had a chance to stop Trump at the polls and now it looks like we’re gonna have to do it in the streets.

These measles deaths aren’t just chance things. There are people with blood on their hands.

What a fun time to learn that apparently every function and process of the U.S. government was based on good will, entrenched habits and vibes because how else are they able to just dismantle that whole s$&t in like 30 days?

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.
