This is important context from Julie K. Brown. With alt text.

This is real. Our govt is Tweeting like a 14 year old and calling Americans imbecilic morons. We worry about children being bullied but this is the example set by the U.S. GOVERNMENT. This is so shameful. I’m embarrassed for any of you that think this is okay or make excuses for it.

National media: “YES, give us every detail from DNC/Hillary emails hacked by opponents trying to destroy her—we will file daily stories!” Also: “Hacked emails about Trump and little girls? Nah…he’s too good for business, let’s move along, shall we?” Conservatives: “The media is biased against us.”

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Remember that christians will always protect child rapists. Their entire cult is based on a child rape. Christians are fucking scum

at this point, I’m certain qanon/pizzagate has been a false flag this whole time as cover for trump’s pedophilia (alleged /s).

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. It is overwhelmingly clear at this point that the Republican Party has sold its soul to protect a child rapist, led by wealthy ghouls who will never have enough. There is only one war, now and forever, and it is the class war. There must be consequences.

Everyone acting as though the Epstein thing is somehow going to be the downfall of Trump and/or the GOP is driving me insane. That bullshit is no different than pinning all ones hopes on Mueller. NOBODY IS GOING TO SAVE YOU. The hard work has to be done by ordinary people. It sucks, but it's truth.

Huge congratulations to Terror for winning the War on Terror ♥️

Oh Lord, will there never come a day when this gif does not describe how I feel

Just more excuses.... Peak GOP is forcing Americans to choose between affordable healthcare or food. Peak DNC is allowing it to happen because they think it'll make a great campaign slogan & protect their billionaire donors. We aren't getting out of this with words anymore, they made it clear.

The way that all major sports leagues and the media have embraced sports gambling is highly problematic.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

"but what do you want Dems to do?" This is literally the baseline. This is minimum effort I'm looking for. More would be better

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

GOV. WALZ: “This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way we deal with our political differences.”

You, an AI genius: can't drink coffee while reading and assumes your 17 models aren't making shit up about books you've never seen. Me, a plebe: knows what a fucking index is and drinks coffee while skimming or reading 20 pages + checking the sources of my source. Damn right we're not the same.

When they think no one is watching...

the issue is not just ICE. we can live free and safe. or we can have police like we have right now. we cannot do both

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

"protect and serve"

You cannot go about your life thinking about ways to avoid making fascists angry. You will not succeed, and you will not be free.

Trump never hid a single one of his policies and he delivered exactly what he promised. In that regard he's one of the most honest presidents. Anyone who voted for him, and hell, anyone who didn't vote at all, knew exactly what they were going to get.

guys we HAVE to get rid of DEI. it’s about FAIRNESS

For those uninformed.

The reality of our government is that it's a sprawling and occasionally inefficient system because you can't deliver services to 330 million people without having to deal with edge cases, and to someone who doesn't know the edge cases, that looks like waste or fraud www.nextgov.com/digital-gove...

and it’s so easy to understand his logic. the higher priced bottles are clearly just “value adds”, like software tiers. why wouldn’t you cook with the “platinum” package if you can afford it 🙃

Incredible! As a lifelong Cake fan and musk hater, this is pure crack. I have not smiled this much yet this year

Sometimes it is important to say things very clearly and directly, so I wrote this. talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...

This is like if a person walks into the ER with a gun to his head, threatening to shoot himself unless they give him a discount for his forthcoming gunshot wound.

Nailed it. I’m so ashamed of this country.

Saving this quote :).

don’t make this your last, it’s a great video and says things that need to be said. Thank you, it’s helped me come to terms with all this.
