An important thing I've gotten from this gross Sw*lwell situation is that we now know who was actually serious when they said it doesn't matter what the political party of sexual predators is, they have to go...and who was lying.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Let’s end tonight on a high note from Coldplay

I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II. She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet. Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

See the first close-up photos of the moon from NASA's Artemis II mission:

Recap of tonight’s address by the Orange Man.

A rooster, a liar and some old man's kid walk into a bar...

I hope people remember this (and all the other crap) in November.

Who's ready? 🙋‍♀️ Let's find out who will be crowned the champion in Miami 🤩 @MiamiOpen | #MiamiOpen

Today's GOP

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

“.. They have to treat the President like a child,” wrote Rep. Seth Magaziner. “So embarrassing for everyone involved.” @mediaite.com www.mediaite.com/media/news/m...

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

He sexually assaulted/raped women & young girls He incited a violent and deadly insurrection against our government and democracy He allowed many ppl to needlessly die of COVID He continues to make Americans hate other Americans If you’re ok with this, there’s something profoundly wrong w/you

New logo just dropped.

Trans folks don’t barge into women’s spaces to assault people. You’re thinking of Trump.

Serial. Rapist.

Cowardly just like his child rapist president.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’” GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The New York Rangers expect me, a woman, to come back and watch the rest of the season after I watched the people who run the organization and two of its players laugh at female athletes. I think I’m good on hockey for the rest of the season. It’s been, like, really ruined.

This is a great piece. Loved this anecdote.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully: The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Senator Rosen calling for Noem’s impeachment. More of this, please.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

Tell your senators to rein in ICE NOW act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

I used to think Republicans only cared about the 2nd Amendment but not the 1st. Now it seems they don’t really care about either one.

New video from today's murder in Minneapolis. This is a state-sanctioned execution. Period. Our federal government is murdering its own citizens in our streets, in my hometown.

Trump is a singularly loathsome man, but there are literally *hundreds* of unpatriotic, anti-American cowards in the Republican Party who care more about their own fear than they care about democracy. The entire party has betrayed the democratic values of the United States — and is *irredeemable.*

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith: "I stand by my decisions as special counsel, including the decision to bring charges against President Trump. Our investigation developed proof beyond reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity... No one should be above the law".

Tells you everything you need to know about this regime.

Should infuriate all of us.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

A quick reminder since Starfleet Academy was just released. "Star Trek has gone full DEI." Yes, it has, and it went full DEI, .. umm... (checks notes) September 8, 1966, and has never looked back.
