“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….” 🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

The company brought Junior in right after the election as part owner. They just won the largest drone motor contract awarded by the Pentagon.

Is an aircraft carrier the best means of interdicting non-existent fentanyl boats? Asking for a friend.

Do we really need a 90,000 sq ft ballroom?

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

So, he wants 230 million tax payers dollars for his suffering for stealing classified documents, and the two people that decide if he's paid are his former lawyers. WTAF 👿🤡 Also, he suspended SNAP Oh yeah, release the #EpsteinFiles

And now he thinks he will sue DOJ. Who would pay that $250 million? Tax payers. The dumbasses still believe him. Let's see how they feel when their food stamps are not sent.

😕

Do not do a huge holiday thing for Thanksgiving. Don't travel, don't do the huge dinner, don't decorate. Stay home and give the money you would have spent to a food bank. Children are going to be starving because their SNAP benefits are being cut off.

Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025. This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. Still not sure we need Medicare for All?

Important to note that it's New York STATE that brought charges against the J6er that threatened Hakeem Jeffries. Not the DOJ.

We need to remove the cancer in the Oval Office to restore funding to children’s cancer research.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Darth Vader kills his shitty boss then dies⚡️

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

We almost made it 250 years. Trump is at war with our nation's citizens. Elections will be suspended; it's not a matter of if, but when. At least we're getting a $200,000,000 ballroom. That's a plus. National Guard

They also had tactical gear, bear spray, weapons and communications equipment. I've never seen any of these at our rallies.

OMG hope! After this regime of course open.substack.com/pub/thinkbig...

This line didn’t make sense the first time he said it, and it doesn’t make sense now. The fact that they continue to demonize millions of patriotic Americans engaging in peaceful protest tells you everything you need to know about them.

John Solomon didn’t stumble onto a secret — he recycled one. The Jan 6 committee’s phone-metadata subpoenas were public and reported years ago. This is how the right keeps the outrage machine humming: rename oversight as spying, erase timelines, and sell déjà vu. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

JD Vance blames Chuck Schumer for the fact that the White House mistakenly laid off key public health officials, including those dealing with measles and ebola. The Trump regime's message is: We demand total power, but we're not responsible for anything.

The mass layoffs of federal workers on Friday night swept up the top two leaders of the federal measles response team, even as the nation grapples with the most cases recorded since 2000, when measles was declared eliminated in the U.S.

Over 1,500 measles cases have been reported in 42 states — a 500% increase from 2024 and the highest count in more than 30 years. www.newscentermaine.com/article/news...

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

Portland holding it down!! #FuckIce #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

This sums up their lying perfectly www.meidasplus.com/p/this-weeke...

Trump was President on January 6th. The FBI agents were sent by his FBI in response to the riot at the Capitol. The lies are either getting more ridiculous and dangerous, or his grip on reality is. Either way, this is not a man who should have nuclear codes.

Epstein files giving House Republicans over two months paid vacation and counting.

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵 Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

Statement from the Nobel Peace Prize Committee 👏 🙏

Pro Tip: If Vladimir Putin says you deserve the Nobel Peace Prize you DO NOT deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

How can the USA spend nearly twice as much per capita on healthcare and still not have universal coverage? It's a massive con trick.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

We gain nothing by exaggerating or lying about reality of the world to ourselves. Misinformation scares people, and makes it hard for people to prepare and fight back. That's exactly why fascists rely on disinformation and lies so much. We don't need to.

Can the messaging be distilled to this? Anyone who currently supports Trump is an enemy to the United States and democracy. Everyone else is a patriot. (Yes, even those who supported Trump up until yesterday when his policies and/or actions had a negative effect on them personally.)

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

I like turning fifty in regards to my physical appearance because every part of me that I don’t love so much I can say, this is not so bad, **for fifty**
