Don't get me wrong, I enjoy what Gavin Newsom is doing, but the strategy is too subtle to get through to core Trump supporters. They do not understand sarcasm or irony. They do not have the self-awareness or empathy to reflect this back on how Trump communicates.

We are taking control of our lives- sitting on the sidelines are not leaders. They’re high paid spectators

Another Trump criminal violation of the Domestic Emoluments Clause (Article II, Section 1). Felon 47 is a walking crime scene. #Indict #Prosecute #Convict #Impeach #Imprison

On Portland: "In an opinion on Nov. 7, U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut said the administration did not have a “colorable basis for invoking” a federal law that allows the president to federalize guardsmen." 🙅‍♀️ #MicDrop #Pinks www.theepochtimes.com/us/judge-rul...

Democrats didn’t cave. They boxed republicans in and made them own the shutdown. Watch.

Corruption was written into law.

#Pinks #ProudBlue With all the talk about illegal orders and what Hegseth is doing in Venezuela it might be time to revisit this horrible stain on American History. Lt. William Calley got off easy and should have died in prison. www.pbs.org/wgbh/america...

"An Illinois Department of Transportation employee was stopped by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents while working on a Park Ridge construction project Friday morning — and questioned about incoming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani before being released."

This case is destined to go to SCOTUS Where Justice Alito will no doubt lecture plaintiffs about how the Constitution demands that the president deploy troops to control Portland’s dancing frogs “the President did not have a lawful basis to federalize the National Guard” apple.news/AQtb3F8QRSMW...

This is so blatant and absurd, I nearly don't have words. The racism has always been here, he has just emboldened it. He has made people feel ok uttering outloud in public what once was reserved for behind closed doors. Now prejudice is a cause to be backed with a boycott. I bet Elon is happy.

Deep in Trump country, miners with black lung say the government’s suffocating the “working man.” Randy Lawrence says Trump and RFK Jr. should do an 8- hour shift underground to see why safety rules matter. He’s sending a loud message. Not anymore. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/At77mHDktT3q...

Good night! And when you sleep, I wish sweet dreams ✨

Sigh... So close!

The orange guy slumped over who looks out of it, needs to get out. Orange is very dangerous when he wakes.

idk who needs to hear this but the President of the United States of America is APPEALING a judges order forcing him to fully fund SNAP. Yes — DJT is appealing a ruling telling him to NOT starve his own people. Let that simmer.

Quit Amazon and all of their affiliates now! They have already started replacing workers with robots. Their goal is to replace half a million workers with robots. Their reason? Humans are inefficient and cutting into their bottom line. But they need humans to buy their products so stop buying them!

This is a very happy day!!🥰

Watching RFK jr run away from someone collapsing feels like a harbinger of things to come

This is a very special person

Today, Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi announced that she will not seek reelection and is retiring at the end of her term. From her time working with Harvey Milk in San Francisco to her tenure as the first female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi is the definition of a champion for equality.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

people often confuse sentimentality with kindness. being sentimental is easy and common. being kind is hard and rare
