lmao

Black Americans are giving you healthcare. It’s Underwood’s bill and Jeffries got the votes. We don’t deserve them but they fight for us.

It's funny that so many of y'all were screaming daily about how "weak" Democrats were for not keeping the government shut down, but as soon as Jeffries and team did the IMPOSSIBLE, and got 17 Republicans to break rank and side with the Democrats in the House on ACA, y'all don't seem to care.....🤔

Buddy Guy!

a good and necessary choice

There hasn’t been an election in decades where the GOP candidate was a better choice & it’s been 120 years since a GOP Congress passed legislation beneficial to Americans, but the electorate was so opposed to a Black woman POTUS & a Black man Speaker that we got stuck with Trump & Johnson-again. 4️⃣/4️⃣

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

Anybody who didnt vote…. Voted for this

“ICE’s godless tactics are a total affront to the gospel of Jesus Christ. It stands in the face of the faith of our ancestors. It mocks the women & men who reared us to love the truth, to stand up for justice, & to never stand by idly while tyrants trample on the dignity and life of our neighbors.”

Your regular reminder that ~90% of the lawless authoritarianism could end today, simply by these Senators & about 7 other people in Congress caucusing with the Democrats & giving them governing majorities in both chambers until the crimes & fascism stop.

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

We could have had nice things

*taps mic* Here’s a Part 2 thread of more to blame in addition to everyone in the original. Again, yes, the majority of white men & women voters as true since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The GOP, inc MAJORITY Leader Thune & Speaker Mike Johnson… Andreessen, Thiel, Adelson, Ellison…

While there is blame on some level to individual Democrats like some above during specific snapshots of time, it’s the REPUBLICAN PARTY who are the issue, not whichever Democrat you don’t want to sleep with because they don’t “excite” you enough. It’s not the job of elected Democrats to be your mom.

Every loud chirping person who can’t follow this graphic but screeches at Democrats on the internet every day about impeachment, while ignoring that articles were brought 3 times last year anyway including last month.

These people vote.

Looking back, everyone will one day realize that all that woke stuff was right. Unfortunately, being right won’t erase the suffering.

There are people who still don't understand that you can do everything right--you can do everything they tell you--and you will still be shot in the face.

So is Bari Weiss planning a town hall with Renee Good's widow?

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

For any white people out there that are new to this concept, “just follow directions” will not save you. If cops want to kill you they will do exactly what they did today and then lie

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

Han-faced pundit Erick Erickson is telling people this woman tried to run the ICE agent down and he killed her in self-defense. You've seen the video and you know it's not true. Rightwingers will be trying this all day. Be prepared for it. They're as addicted to lies as they are to violence.

remains striking the extent to which trump quite loudly does not see himself as president of the united states and more as a clan leader for his supporters

I don't think you can truly grapple with where we are, and how we come back from it, without recognizing this is not a constitutionally legitimate government and he is not the lawful president of the United States.

This is Rep Ogles, stating in an interview that he believes the US is entitled to controI Greenland. The US is not entitled to the resources, territory, or control of other countries no matter how much fascist expansionist propaganda the gop & the chudministration continue to peddle. #Pinks

To finish this out: This may make some people angry and uncomfortable, but just to clarify, I am 100% correct.

Critically, THERE ARE MORE OF ME THAN HIM. KEEPING CATPISSMAN COSTS YOU TEN OF ME. The effect of multiple catpissmen is multiplied. You have two or three playing Lorcana or Pokemon and you had better fucking believe middle class parents aren't bringing their kids there.

You have to understand that it is happening all the time and it is, in fact, your fault for not competently managing your space.

*checks notes* The majority of white men & women voters who chose this yet again as always since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Everyone else who voted for it too. Everyone who sat out Everyone who voted against it but spent the whole time suppressing the vote Access journalists normalizing it…

Today is one of those days where I’m struck anew by how *bad* the internet has gotten. It’s almost unusable. Clouds, apps, advertising — nothing is where it should be and it’s nigh impossible sometimes to do basic tasks online.

Remember how good we had it when things were bad?

"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law"

The Democrats spent all of 2024 telling the voters exactly what Trump would do. And they were right. And those same voters now hate it. Wtf else are supposed to do?! We told them and they didn't listen!

People vote for enough Republicans that the Democrats don’t have an impeachment majority in the Senate In critical elections for SCOTUS (namely 2016) they elected a television charlatan The voters cannot receive enough blame

The wild shit is when folks be Mid Level Uncs and in denial. 😂😂 Niggas be outside like “Who is Unc young Fella!!!?

For the record: the American military was the world's strongest, most lethal fighting force decades before Kamala Harris uttered the phrase as a 2024 presidential candidate. Speaking those words does not prove she would've wielded that power as impulsively and recklessly as the guy you helped win.

If you're writing 1800 words about how we failed to account for January 6 and DON'T mention SCOTUS (particularly if you're comparing with Brazil) or impeachment, you're simply doing propaganda for the GOP.

I still remember Ma telling me five years ago that if these insurrectionists on January 6th were Black, then they would be dead. Five years later, they are almost all alive, out of jail, and their guy is back in the White House. If that’s not White privilege, then I don’t know what is.

Incredible, comprehensive societal failure: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

one way you make things a bigger deal is by making people vote on it, which is what Senate Dems are doing in fact, forcing a vote to make legislators embrace or reject admin conduct is exactly what Dems did on Epstein

Tim Walz dropping out of the race for a third term is the direct result of Republican threats to kill his entire family after they had already murdered one of his state’s representative and her husband. — Anyone still believe both parties are the same?

Yes, Democrats are feckless & need new leaders & should be yelling every day on the Capitol steps about impeachment & removal. And yet, they could do all that, we’d all feel better, & it would <still require> Lisa Murkowski & company to stop violating their oaths & do the things. We need to focus.

Cuban intelligence has a reputation for being one of the most formidable in the Western Hem. Yet they were seemingly caught off guard by an elaborate and long-planned Maduro op, in spite of controlling Venezuela’s security. I have questions: open.substack.com/pub/macspaun...
