For all of you saying "move on from Platner." No. He's still in the race, officially. And no, you don't get to spend weeks and weeks telling me he was awesome and then declare "bygones" when it blows up in your face, as I kinda warned you it might.

Man, this cuts so deep. You can legitimately blame Platner on a lot of things, but the common thread is this: the Democratic Party as a whole is still pretending that the overt fascism trying break containment from the shell of the GOP is useful attack ad copy rather than an existential threat.

"This was a landmark housing bill. Trump refusing to sign it is going to reflect poorly on Republicans. I was talking to a Senate GOP aide who told me, 'Never in my lifetime have I seen a president so deliberately attempt to lose majorities for his own party.'"

Nearly 73% of those arrested by ICE have no criminal record, but we’re supposed to believe they need to be dressed for combat?!

Sad to watch this regime purge anyone who puts the country before this president. (And make Us all Less Safe in the Process)

Racists shouting hate speech through the streets get a police escort. A patriot protesting fascism gets arrested. 400 cowards calling themselves patriots while hiding their identity. 1 patriot calling out fascism in full military uniform.

“The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave, is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies.” Thomas Paine gives me my newest retort to Founders worship.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.

WTF, NYer. "If we agree that college primarily serves a credentialling process that stamps select young people as worthy of work..." We do not. So much for the bastion of erudite journalism. This is sensationalism, damaging our most vital institution: education. www.newyorker.com/news/fault-l...

Yes, and the Declaration says the idea that we are all created equal is a "self-evident" truth, meaning it's accessible solely via human reason, to anyone, whether they worship Trump's god or not. Also note that Trump dispenses with the "equal" part.

let's all get in shape and kick some butt😁

“We are all made in the image of one almighty god” centers God—heavily implying the speaker’s conception of God—and casts people as subservient. Worshipful. “All men are created equal… endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights” centers people and their rights. A world of difference.

Two people in a Volkswagen Beetle died after the massive battery-powered truck struck them at a highway intersection in Nevada, not far from the factory that builds it.

🚨BREAKING: In the latest blow to President Donald Trump’s anti-voting agenda, a federal court on Wednesday granted the NAACP’s request to halt the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) implementation of his executive order against mail voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The modern U.S. has experienced 11 recessions. Ten have happened under Republican presidents. This isn’t a coincidence. trib.al/U2jkiLA #TaxBillionaires #VoteBlueAndGetOthers2JoinU

So, wait, what if they illegally tore down half the White House? Or, attacked the U.S. Capitol? Would those be crimes too? Would people be held accountable, you hypocritical, bloviating, fascistic tool?

Republicans will ask you to hang in there until you are dead .

JD Vance wants to be seen as a devout Catholic and an enemy of the Epstein Class. But he formed his faith in the flock of Epstein crony Peter Thiel, not on the rock of St. Peter. Here's the truth Vance is desperate to erase. www.thenerdreich.com/communion-ho...

At 89, Opal Lee walked more than 1,400 miles from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C., because she believed Juneteenth deserved to be remembered. She kept walking until America listened. And as she celebrates her 100th birthday this year, we celebrate her legacy. Happy #Juneteenth❤️💚 #SheShed

CAPUTO: Are you gonna be able to control Israel from attacking Lebanon? TRUMP: Yeah, I will be. CAPUTO: How? TRUMP: They have a lot of respect for me. And they do as I say.

ah a classic post from the man i’m told was a patriot who loved all americans

Italian FM, Antonio Tajani, has cancelled his visit to the US scheduled for June 21/22 over Trump’s offensive words towards PM Meloni. Canada welcomes Italy to our boycott of American travel. There’s no more denying that Trump is a corrupt, pathological lying, morally bankrupt self-serving clown.

Someday soon everyone’s going to pretend they never supported him.

Social Security is earned, not given. We paid into it our entire working lives. Speaker Johnson knows how unpopular cuts would be. That’s why these conversations happen behind closed doors instead of out in the open. We earned these benefits. We’ll fight to keep them. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Obama on the message of the 250th: "In a newly independent US, there will be no kings"

But hey, at least we got a costly war and tariffs nobody wanted and he demolished half the White House and trashed the reflection pool!

Scarier than IT

My partner came home today and was alarmed to see me deep in the throes of something. I called him hither to join me, so we sat on the couch, eyes closed, holding hands, and listened to Barack Obama and we pretended he was our president together.

Face it, Donny. The world leaders are literally turning their backs on you. Nobody likes you. Not even a little. 😂

I am about to talk democracy with Nicolle Wallace. Tune in NOW!

Good afternoon! Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates— 💰His net worth is up $1.9 billion, to $6.2 billion 💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million 💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million And Jared became a billionaire last year. Have a great day!

The entire Uruguay World Cup team got pulled up on the side of the road and investigated by immigration. Sniffer dogs, luggage ripped open. Trump America is a global embarrassment.

This is all happening because Merrick Garland is a coward.

Protest ICE? You're a terrorist. Get killed by ICE like Renee Nicole Good? You're a terrorist. Commit a violent insurrection for Trump? You get pardoned and taxpayer money.

I remember when Michelle Obama was criticised for wearing a sleeveless dress, saying her attire was inappropriate for a First Lady.

Richard Gere just said what millions are feeling. At the 2026 Oslo Freedom Forum, Gere choked up and called this “the darkest moment of my life,” warning that America’s democratic norms and human rights are under unprecedented strain. #USDemocracy #Pinks
