weird how “religious liberty” means freedom from baking a queer cake but not protecting migrants seeking sanctuary

Sound up!
This is amazing!!

Preach, my sister!!!!!

In a nutshell:

— The Espionage Act contains a provision that criminalizes the disclosure of national secrets through gross negligence.

— The law does not require that the info be classified, it refers simply to national defense information.

Arrest them. Immediately.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

'St. Paddy's Day' is usually preferred over 'St. Patty's Day.'

'Paddy' is the shortened form of the original Irish spelling of 'Patrick,' which is 'Pádraig.'

'Patty' is the shortened form of 'Patricia.'

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Vote no. Represent your constituents and take a stand.

Illinois constituent here. Vote NO on the CR, NO on cloture. You're there to represent us and we want a NO vote.

It's not that Democrats routinely bring a knife to a gunfight. It's that they bring concern and regret to a gunfight.

In this instance, standing up against and defying the United States of America is the morally, geopolitically, and strategically right decision.

It bears repeating.

The UK government has achieved what was once thought impossible: uniting the entirety of the British press against them.

Watching John Oliver and I gotta say, the part on conservatives complaining about being censored is great.

Conservatives are censored the same way I censor my dog by making her shit in the yard instead of on the couch.

I give it like 3 days tops before the "J6 Choir" announces a major tour of evangelical megachurches.

If you are at an event where someone on stage gives a Hitler salute and that person is not dragged off by security and kicked out, you are at a Nazi rally.

The cars keep lurching to the far right.

when people try to parse eg a Nazi salute with “he was referring to / ironic reference” nonsense think of sex. let’s say you and I fuck, but my engagement is ironic — I’m doing it because I’m making reference to a previous discussion about fucking. are you less fucked now? me neither

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Never expected to find myself sympathizing with any version of the IRS, but here we are in the alt-verse.

"MAGA people and Elon are eating the checks, they're eating the balances!!!!!"

Dump the word cringe from your vocabulary. Do things that make you happy.

Mr. Rogers said "look for the helpers," but his advice was for CHILDREN.

If your ass is grown your role is to BE the helper.

I wish I could find the person who said this originally, but it's been too long.

Once again: The animating purpose of representative democracy is to protect the rest of us from the whims of insane rich people, be they kings or oligarchs. Everything else is wainscoting.

Below is your explanation of the SAVE Act. Here’s the petition to oppose this travesty of yet another voter suppression bill, and send to your Reps via @resist.bot Don’t let them sneak this by us. Their margin in the House is razor thin.
