“I’ve lost 28 lbs because I can’t afford to eat.” Since taking office, Trump has increased his net worth by $3B+ through insider trading and corruption. Meanwhile, ordinary Americans can’t afford to eat. The fact this is happening in the richest country on earth is disgusting.

A great deal of Newsom's support is astroturf + right wing trolls. The rest are almost exclusively white centrists desperately seeking a savior. They yearn for their very own cult of personality. Newsom is scrambling to fill that role.

In case you don’t know, FEMA is not responding to help after the massive east coast blizzard. DHS says they don’t have the resources due to not being funding and are blaming the Democrats. Of course they still seem to be funding ICE.

Good lord—this is actual antisemitism on the left. It’s also a really good example of why everyone needs to get off of X immediately.

Hillary Clinton is testifying right now about her husband. When does Melania get to testify about hers 🧐😒

Pipe Dream/Mania is from 1989. Bioshock is from 2007. Bioshock is now older than Pipe Dream was when Bioshock was released lol

People do what you pay them to do. You pay corporate executives to make stock prices go up, not to make better products. You pay politicians to get re-elected, not to govern well. You pay reporters to get a bigger audience, not to tell the truth. And so forth. Be aware of what you pay people to do

peta says its disgusting to own pets, so me and my wife are sending our chihuahua out into the wild, to live free as he was meant to. “good luck out there, Poptart!” i yell, moments before he’s scooped up by a medium sized bird.

So confident that replies and quotes are turned off.

We don't have an autism epidemic. We have better tools and understanding of neurodiversity. Recognizing something for what it is doesn't mean it's suddenly happening, but rather recognition is better. Vaccines cause survival.

thedemocraticcoalition REMINDER: Trump couldn’t get away with all the fascist and authoritarian BS he is pushing on the country without the bootlicking GOP enablers around him. Vote them all out.

The media, the U.N., so-called Holocaust scholars, Amnesty International, the Red Cross, reputable journalists, etc. They've all refused to give the world the truth about this topic. They're complicit. You can see it in how they also speak about what is happening to Iranians. They are all cowards.

He's anti trans rights, he folds like a piece of paper any time he's interviewed by or talking to literally any conservative, he lies a lot, and the only reason he seems good is that he has a good comms team. I'm glad he's taking jabs at Trump, but he's trying to be "liberal trump" and he sucks.

@pizzacakecomic.bsky.social Damn 🔥🔥🔥

To echo the sentiments of G.K. Chesterton, fairy tales do not tell children that monsters exist — because they know that already. But rather more importantly, fairy tales tell them (and us) that the monster can be killed. And such stories must never ever go out of fashion.

One of the worst thing about autism is how non-autistic people treat us. Most of us were bullied as children and have lost jobs as adults because we couldn't socially fit in with the corporate culture.

As much as I dislike to admit it, the MAGA guy is right here. Using pictures/memes instead of words is in fact a sign of brain rot. Though I think he's hitting his own "team" with that one more than the left...

This is true, but Trump is far from the first president to use the address for political theater rather than to inform Congress of what's going on and propose legislation.

Good for Al Green. More of our Representatives should have followed his lead and built on it. Rather than boycotting the speech, forcing them to throw you out by publicly standing up for the American people was the only reasonable move.

The UN itself is a joke, and this voting is nothing but a meaningless gesture, but this US abstention tells so much about one of our security guarantors. Allies my ass

"I reject political violence of any kind" enjoyers calling the cops when they need a classed state power to preserve their property rights through repression:

Me: "Let's go write an article". Cat: "I'll help".

I wish they would've pushed back against the bullyfest, in a way that makes it publicly clear that Trump is not in charge there.

It feels like a *lot* (not all) of the anti-Zionist crowd is driven by failure at basic logic; I just blocked someone who kept spouting irrelevant facts that (true though they were) were not relevant to anything I had said, and responded with hostility when I asked him to stay on topic.

I never want to hear a racial slur uttered against another person. But you also gotta understand NEITHER DOES the person with Tourette’s. They are saying it because they don’t want to say it. If it was something they liked saying it wouldn’t be a tic. tourette.org/resource/und...

Members of Congress attending SOTU please consider some creative signs to hold up. Consider: Was that a sentence? Or Please speak English! Or Was that a dog whistle? Perhaps, I’m surprised you’re still awake. Among other.

Hard disagree. A boycott is the wrong way to respond when an enemy of the country walks into a room where you can say whatever you want with no legal repercussions. *Use* the opportunity, don't just walk out...

I wouldn't be shocked to find out that many of those wrenches were thrown by folks working for Trump, Putin, or both.

Just hear me out for a second: A new brand of canned chicken called “Tuna of the Land.”

It's called My Mario, get your own.

#MorningVibe In 1954, Edward R. Murrow reminded us that disagreeing with those in power isn’t the same as being disloyal. He warned against letting fear take over & replacing evidence with accusations. This is a call to courage. Freedom doesn’t protect itself.

So, there WAS fraud in the 2020 election and it WAS committed by an immigrant: Elon Musk.

Ah yes, the halcyon days of 2nd hand smoke, lawn darts, swing bikes, and PSA’s reminding parents at 10 pm to be sure they knew where their children were.

It’s ok to be mad at people posting antisemitism.

"But with Republicans confronting difficult midterm election(s), G.O.P. proponents... are now openly saying they cannot maintain control of Congress if they fail to enact the bill." Let me fix this: "They cannot maintain control of Congress if they don't suppress MILLIONS OF VALID VOTES."

I do blame Kamala for one thing and its that she coulda prevented the dumpster fire that is the CA-Gov primary

Many, many years ago, before I enlisted in the army, I was advised to read the Constitution. To REALLY read it. ‘If you’re going to swear to defend it, if the possibility is there to lose your life defending it, you should know what it says.’ More people should have received this advice.

Meaning someone who rapes children. Though he *is* also quite childish...

When the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, they didn't take political parties into consideration. They never expected that the President and Congress would conspire together rather than keeping each other in check.

In homage to Nancy, Dems should attend. At the end, ceremoniously rip the program to shreds and toss into the air like confetti.

I don’t know why everybody is fast forwarding and living the trauma of having to vote for Gavin Newsom, and then running around in a panic proclaiming that they refuse. 1/3

When the midterms come around VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO. You must flip Congress if there is any hope of impeaching Trump and removing him and his toxic regime from power. If you have finally had enough, vote like your life depends on it because it very well might.

No, I think that may very well be how at least a particular subcategory of swing Hispanic voter thinks. They certainly don't fit the "upset that ICE is bullying and abusing their friends and neighbors" category. *Those* Hispanic voters are definitely not "swing voters".

ICE is just an offshoot of what has been wrong in this country for decades. Police have been pushing the envelope to see just how much they can get away with as far as violating our rights, year after year. ICE just decided that nothing will happen. Decades in the making. Eat the rich. F the police
