We should all quit posting, because this wins the Internet.

if I were running the United States which is to say if I were the president, I’d have fixed it all. I’d just go on tv and say “abortion is legal, next item”

It's shocking to realize there are four justices on the Supreme Court who think the Constitution can be overridden by one crazy man's signature on an executive order.

The Bible says he and his mistress (who is also married) should be stoned to death.

Thanks, SCOTUS!

The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.

Is it not clear now that reforming the Supreme Court must be at the top of the agenda along with accountability?

Of course, no educated individual would ever suggest that the U.S. is a functioning democracy any longer. You’d have to look at North Korea to see a nation as indescribably corrupt as America.

If the Supreme Court can reverse a 95 year-old ruling for a country that is only 250 years old, I need you to UNDERSTAND this country still has no idea what it is or what it stands for other than it’s constant push-and-pull to oppress Black people and eliminate Native people.

Democrats need to start conditioning the American public with the idea that we were going to be prosecuting Supreme Court Justices for some of the decisions they have have made and we will prosecute them for their presidential immunity decision as accomplices to president Trump and his insurrection

Slaughter belongs in the anti-canon, a decision so egregiously wrong it has zero precedential value and is self-discrediting. It is not a plausible reading of a constitutional ambiguity, it is constitutionalizing the structure of an autocracy.

Maybe I'm not like you. I physically feel pain for these people who came her for a better life for their children and they get this. My sorrow is profound. They lose their homes, cars and everything. I'm seriously embarrassed to be an American citizen.

Why are republicans so evil? We're not making it the least bit uncomfortable for them to get by with it. That's why.

Sadly, it fits perfectly..

Then as now, no truer words. 1/ "Anti-Blackness has survived for centuries not because it was true, but because it was profitable." www.theroot.com/why-black-pe...

If the entire industry of our country is terrified of foreign competition, maybe that’s no longer an industry we excel at.

Politico is saying that budget negotiations are going to go into next week because of an impasse on housing voucher funding. No word about whether the budget increases library funding. NYPL is asking for letters to be sent: www.nypl.org/speakout

We have to fund the public libraries AND we absolutely need to stop NYPL's shenanigans. Both/And.

You will be hearing A LOT from me in the coming months and years about improved Medicare for All. I was pushing this 2 decades ago, 1 decade ago, and still. Here's me talking about this in 2017: inthesetimes.com/article/mari... - The US left MUST mount a CONCERTED push now.

While it's obvious the next Democratic president should pardon these individuals on day one, the judge who handed down the sentences should also be subjected to a federal investigation to determine if he abused his power and whether it warrants prosecution and potential imprisonment.

this cannot stand.

They should wage this war. If they had any survival instinct whatsoever they’d read the tea leaves. They’ve already lost the minds & hearts of the people. Any forceful obstruction of the new guard that’s doing something will only make them lose faster & harder. Honestly, they’re already dead.

There are some uncomfortably eugenicist vibes in Trump’s latest disability policy, which authorizes states to institutionalize more Americans. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

The Extreme Sentences Handed to Anti-ICE Protesters Should Terrify Us All "The sentences, ranging from 30-100 years, are part of an increasingly disturbing pattern of the Trump administration criminalizing speech and assembly." READ: zeteo.com/p/prairielan...

No. No. No. Not OK, NYPL. Revert this decision. If you need help getting $ for it, speak up and people will help. This is LIFE and DEATH for people inside Rikers. I beg you to close my local library branch before you cut off library access for people stuck at Rikers Island.

If the protests so far were actually effective the regime would have shut them down by now. The only ones they have really cared about so far are those at the ICE detention centers. Those are the only ones that impacted the agenda. The others are pacifiers from their point of view.

I know it's a losing rhetorical battle that's been fought before, but we really have to stop calling these people "conservative." They are not "slowly slowly, cautious principle" people, they are aggressively and intentionally trying to drag this country over to the far right and into centuries past

Hunter speaks! Dems need to listen. 🙌🔥

🚨BREAKING: Postmaster General David Steiner told senators that, under a new proposed rule, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” ― James Baldwin

"The United States is putting together bags with a children’s book on so-called reverse racism, and with a document that defends the country’s founding on the basis of slavery." WTF.

The announcer actually said: “The English, historically, do not do well in Massachusetts” That might be the line of the World Cup⚽️✨

We need entire shows dedicated to his cankles.

Unreal. beyond parody.

The Fourth Amendment does not have a national security exception. If the government wants to spy on Americans, they need to get a warrant. It’s not that complicated.

Good morning ppl! Sorry I was quiet yesterday, I was working on a new project I’m calling The DOGE Files. 🧵🧵🧵 Ever wonder what the talks were, about how to used DOGE in the HHS? Let me show you.

Well, this is a crime.

Americans still insisting to me that attack helicopters are a normal & fine way to mark the start of a football match. The fact that this has been so normalised that people cannot see how weird it is is part of the problem. Healthy democracies don‘t mark the start of a kickabout with gunships.

It's obvious to point out attacks against Muslims get ignored - but still needs repeatedly calling out. An Antisemitic attack should be reported and action taken. But where is the same media outrage, cobra meetings and calling of national emergency when 5 Muslims are attacked?

Spoiler alert…you’ve missed the entire point. And no this isn’t snark. When we told people & begged people to pay attention because republicans were going to target us & them they ignored that. Still to this day too many don’t care about the VRA being gutted, higher rates of preventable

My county has a population of about 720,000 people. It has about 350 churches and from driving around on Sundays it appears most are very well attended. Our 50 person capacity food bank shift today had about 20 people. Our country is full of church goers, not Christians.

pete hegseth is engaged in open racial discrimination against black officers. the clear message is that there is no place for black or women leadership in his military

My kid brought home a copy last night and asked if I’d read it before. I told her, “Baby girl, what’s in those pages is the reason I got into the field. We need representation and protection.”

Did the New York Times just BOTH SIDES Ken Paxton's sweetheart deal for a child sex predator. Yes, yes it did.
