Yes seeing these crackers crusade against DEI in the name of meritocracy only to then witness USA’s highest ranking military officers get condescended to & told to violate their oaths by a draft dodger & the least qualified person to ever hold a position made me wonder if irony can be too poetic.

There’s more… It was a set up.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

It broke their brains! While the conservative manifesto was always there and heritage foundation, they didn’t get the power til Russia figured out how to capitalize on racism and racial tensions rising in Obama era and give a permission structure to white folk to be their worst selves 1/

all of this is happening because some stupid, lazy, and selfish people refused to vote for Kamala Harris.

she told everyone what was going to happen and y'all ignored her. you twist Liz Cheney supporting Kamala because she ALSO warned you about this as Kamala going hard right. which is a lie. they claim shes anti trans. Also a lie. they know they're lying. They just refuse to take responsibility.

Trump has declared war on America! Watch: www.youtube.com/live/FspT-bn...

stop fucking lying

Letitia James, as usual, at the top of the list. Both parties are not the same. The Dems are constantly fighting for trans people and are why we LGBTQ folks have finally had rights at all this last decade, it just never gets coverage.

In true“Let them eat cake” style

Much respect to @kim.senate.gov for demonstrating precisely the kind of LEADERSHIP that Democrats could use some hard lessons in. This should've been the first thing Jeffries and Schumer, et al, opened their mouths to say so people would listen.

She's a brave woman. It's shameful that a woman in her 80's who's already been attacked for decades for standing for human dignity has to once again lead the fight while people half her age with more power and wealth hide away.

Great column by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social (gift link)

Republicans can't be bothered to show up for work, but want to gaslight you into thinking a shutdown is the Democrats' fault. They are the ones who DGAF who they harm and are definitely in favor of shutting down the government.

Go, Jane, go! She's rounded up hundreds of Hollywood figures to revive the First Amendment organization her father championed. Fonda, in her late eighties, is in her prime as a climate champion and a powerful voice for justice.

If you're blaming the Democrats for the shutdown of a government that is run entirely by Republicans, why stop there? Go wild, man. Blame the shutdown on leprechauns, or the Seattle Mariners, or maybe the cast of "She's the Sheriff." You've decided facts don't matter, so have some fun with it!

Reading Kamala Harris’ 107 Days is a great read but Jesus Christ it would sicken you. Also, Joe Rogan is a piece of shit. But you knew that.

If you didnt vote for Kamala Harris you supported what happened on January 6th

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

This is my lane. This is something that I’ve been interested in since I was a teenager and I have read so much history about it. They have been trying to go after birth control since it became a thing. And if nobody saw this coming, then they are absolute morons & should not ever be allowed to vote

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court allows Lisa Cook to remain as a Federal Reserve governor for now.

I won’t be taking pay while the Republicans shut down the government.

Love us for real.

Need the military and the yts to get active.

Will someone just pay me to do this please? I’m poor & funny & smart And kinda cute And totally humble And I have all the fucking time in the world (cuz chemo…does THAT tug at your heartstrings?! #itstrue #hireme) What’s up?

Joe Biden didn't cause a government shutdown

BREAKING: Supreme Court will hear the case of Lisa Cook and Trump's attempt to fire her from the Fed Board in January. She will remain in her post in the meantime. www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx...

I hope he dies after midterms. So that the House, that will hopefully be in control by Democrats, can refuse to lower the flags, refuse him a funeral at the Rotunda and not bury him at Arlington.

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post. I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing. Proud to have @normeisen.bsky.social + @katiephang.bsky.social in my corner. karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Incarcerated prisoners are fighting the #LAFires, paid pennies. Problematic for many reasons. Don’t try to justify this by arguing “inmates volunteer for this,” as inmates “volunteer” for these “jobs” bc they are opportunities to shorten their sentences, making it inherently coercive, not voluntary.

Expect more of this.

To be clear: most 2019 dem candidates supported extending healthcare covg options to undocumented immigrants, but those policies never became law. Today - there are no democratic proposals that include such coverage. Claiming Dems shut down the govt over healthcare covg for migrants is FALSE

Wild that a drunk white dude gets to give an important speech on the importance of being violent and mediocre just because people confuse seeing one minority on the street with the apocalypse

So is today the day when we’re gonna find out if Mike Johnson is a closeted gay man? Razzledazzlemo on TikTok says that he’s passed on Mikey’s Grindr account info to an investigative journalist, just in case something happens to him. He’s hired a lawyer.

I felt defeated hearing Trump plans to use our cities as a training ground for the military. But, damn it NO!!!, I'm not going to stop speaking out about this bullshit. This old grandma is not going down without a fight. So bring it on, and hit me with your best shot assholes. I'm not giving in.

These stories are horrifying. I’d argue that few, if any white ppl should be able to “adopt” Black children, regardless of political persuasion. Dems are not a safer option, it’s maybe just a different form of abuse. The sunken place is real.

Supporting Democrats in this moment is not an endorsement of the party—but a tactical necessity to dismantle this immediate&organized threat to US—a threat that is now fully mobilized&operational—Prj25. Doing anything less less-is prioritizing purity over survival as our house is actively burning.

"Democrats, by centering their demands on restoring funding for Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, are deploying their strongest legislative weapon — the ability to shut down the government — behind what polls show is their strongest issue: health care." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

My son asked which way a “b” goes. My partner said “when you think of b think of butt and how it goes to the back” Then she started: “when you think of a d, it goes… wait…”

There has never been a government shutdown in a hundred years while Democrats were in charge. ALL of the government shutdowns have been when Republicans were in charge of the House. ALL of them. Republicans are incompetent, corrupt, and utterly incapable of the job of governing. STOP ELECTING THEM

“...President Trump thrives on applause and cheering and interactions with an audience,” he continued. “And when he didn't get that and instead got quiet professionalism from the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines in the audience, that likely rattled him from the very beginning.”

Because, like the narcissistic demon he is, he feeds off of adulation energy, and when he doesn't get it, he doesn't know how to deal. www.rawstory.com/trump-was-ra...

White men stop coming into Black peoples mentions to whataboutism challenge........ You are not morally superior. Go away.

Hakeem Jeffries: “Trump and Republicans have shut the government down because they don't want to provide healthcare to working-class Americans. Federal law prohibits the use of Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and the ACA to provide health insurance in any way, shape or form to undocumented immigrants.”

This is glorious. Glad we still have judges standing up for the law. Too bad we can't say the same about the Supreme Court.

This is the closest we've ever come to a coup in US history Either because Trump and Hegseth are prepping one or because the military brass they've gathered together and scared the hell out of are now considering the unthinkable
