Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

🚨BREAKING: Puerto Rico has been part of the United States since 1898, and people still act confused that Puerto Ricans are American. States that joined after Puerto Rico: • Oklahoma — 1907 • New Mexico — 1912 • Arizona — 1912 • Alaska — 1959 • Hawaii — 1959 Yet somehow this is still news to folks.

“Over a thousand women's stories in those files. A trafficking ring we already knew existed because someone is already in jail for it, and the only person in that jail is a woman.”

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

straight up Gestapo shit

Indeed. People say Miller is the reason Trump did not get the Nobel Peace Prize 😎

Drive all reactionary centrists and collaborators from Democratic leadership and consultant ranks. We need an opposition party.

Vought led the production of Project 2025, wrecking our gov't since Jan. 20. Musk gave us DOGE, Miller's driving the assault on immigrants & many US Citizens. Thiel's a founder of Palantir, sucking up our tax records, biometrics & other private data-the ultimate state surveillance tool. #ProudBlue

The single use of AI I’d be kind of okay with would be depicting Trump reading his epic wee hour tantrum posts. Nobody actually gets through those things, dramatizing them would be sobering.

Our greatest resource should be protected as such…and it doesnt have to mean less to the economy. substack.com/@thiswillhol...

Please consider signing this petition organized by the Texas Freedom Network to go to the Texas SBOE demanding updates to the Social Studies curriculum be factual and without political or religious bias. They still need more signatures. Can you sign and share as well? www.mobilize.us/tfn/event/86...

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

All the truth in one hoodie!

We will see more of this in other places. This country is doomed.

Yeah this is a very bad idea. In my experience the people going by far the fastest in the parks are those on regular racing bicycles who are training for races and going sometimes as much as 30mph

This quote from James Baldwin's Notes of a Native Son is just as true today as it was in 1955... “I imagine that one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, that they will be forced to deal with pain.”

We are no longer headed toward fascism. We're right in the heart of downtown fascism.

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has officially announced that he is running for Senate. So here's everything you need to know about him—if you care about reality. Let's start with the fact that he had to take literal ethics classes after he was indicted for securities fraud. (1/5)

lol every single one of these agreements explicitly says both - will not do dei - will be required to do dei specifically for republicans

We are deporting Fulbright scholars and much-needed kidney transplant doctors but have a job program for Proud Boys

You ever find yourself wading through Trump’s incoherent word vomit, trying to make sense of whatever the hell he’s rambling about, and then—mid-sentence—your brain just short-circuits, you blurt out a big ol’ fuck you!—before rage quitting the whole thing? Yeah, same.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Stop saying "if" they defy the courts. It’s always been "when"—not if. No one who studies these two men professionally—and I do—ever doubted that. Both men believe they’re above the law; don’t value human life; and don’t believe America should be a democracy. They believe their time to act is _now_.

This is probably the most accurate take.

Kardashians if D.C. is the most accurate description I’ve seen. Shameful that so many people have jobs they know nothing about doing. Their entire purpose is to create, and fans the flames of, chaos.

My theory is much simpler: they are paralyzed because they just want things to be normal and are trying to act like things are normal. M-F, go home and go to the same parties and get togethers.

I keep seeing takes like this marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevo... 1. I don't like the status quo on policy X 2. Trump is thoughtlessly blowing things up, including on policy X 3. It might turn out better after being blown up so 🤷 We're on the road to authoritarianism, not your preferred policy.

Compliments of 🟠. Geauga County, Ohio, YMCA….

Same, John, same.

The erasure of everything not white & male shows what a weak position this country is adopting.

Meanwhile trump’s first buddy trying to remove giant government agencies

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them. Celebrate thy diversity. Love each other.

5 ways to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth (cause the fed govt doesn’t run your house) 1. Find out what Sojourner Truth REALLY said 2. Buy a Black horror, scifi or fantasy book 3. Listen to “Naima” by John Coltrane 4. Send the victims of the LA fires in Altadena a few coins 5. Get a library card

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

It isn’t “alarming.” It isn’t “outrageous.” It isn’t “unusual.” It sure as shit isn’t “arousing.” It’s fucking unacceptable and we don’t want more letters or statements or demands for investigations. We want action! We want sand thrown in the machine! We want leaders to lead! Right now!

Happy: Black history Black present Black future Black love Black joy Black health Black healing Black people Black community Black family Black kids Black culture Black creativity Black ingenuity Black legacy Black innovation Black liberation Black resistance Black existence ...month🖤
