Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

You always have to pay attention to what is actually happening, not what Trump says is happening. Because Trump lies about everything. Too often media serves as Trump’s daily stenographer, passing along his propaganda verbatim.

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits. Yes, $30 million per HOUR. All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

HELL YEAH, MAMDANI ENDORSED @lindseyboylan.bsky.social!!!

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

I'm helping to lead a group of Senate Democrats who are planning to force a vote - every single week the Senate is in session - to end the war in Iran. We have that right under the Senate rules, and we are going to keep putting Republicans on record supporting this insane war.

Democratic Rep. Brendan Boyle: “It eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans, according to the CBO. You’re going to sit here with a straight face and say they’re all illegals, they’re all defrauding the system?” White House Budget Director Russell Vought: “Yes.”

Meanwhile, the typical American will pay a federal income tax rate of 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like. [Via @itep.org]

Every Democrat since Reagan has DECREASED the deficit. Every Republican since Reagan has INCREASED it. Without fail. Every single time.

It’s cool to once again have joy and enthusiasm for space exploration that is completely divorced from Elon Musk.

A bad dog owner dumped this wolf at shelter when he got to big and to much to handle. Luckily a sanctuary took him instead and save his life. His DNA testing is come back as 87.5% grey Wolf, 8.6% siberian Husky, and 3.9 German shepherd. Don't scroll without giving us some love… Original post

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Herd you see two completely different opposites that reflect the best humanity has to offer and the worst of humankind. I have long admired Admiral McRaven & long despised the orange felon I am beyond embarrassment & headlong into ashamed..

No one is allowed to say they didn’t vote for this. You voted for a vulgar, narcissistic, incompetent, mentally ill, bigoted, unfit, incompetent, maleficent person to run the United States of America. You knew exactly what you were doing. Stop pretending.

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'" These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now. Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.
