Call to Activism -Joe Gallina 🚨WOW! Mayor Zohran Mamdani just MOCKED Ronald Reagan’s famous quote. “I can think of nine words more terrifying than ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help…’” “I worked all day and can’t feed my family.” BOOM.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

The President of the United States is demented, perverted, incompetent, and a threat to democracy.

Trump's insecure and childish inability to ever admit to making a mistake is really going to catch up with him on this very public, obvious mistake. He's making possibly the worst verbal flub in American presidential history even worse by stamping his little feet in foolish defiance.

Something going on with Trump slurring and sucking spit every time he speaks. It’s disgusting. If it’s stroke related I hope he aspirates and drops dead on camera.

Zohran Mandani is consistently proving that if your politicians wanted to help you, they absolutely could.

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

Good morning ☕️

My daughter called me earlier today, having a hard time, & I reminded her that when she's upset, one of the most helpful things to do is *literally anything*. Clean something, make something. If you don't feel better when it's done, at least you'll have DONE something. Time to take my own advice.

Seeing children being forced to interact with Donald Trump is revolting to me in every possible way.

This is, in fact, a banger.

by the statistics... this is as stressful and fraught as it has ever been, in most of our lifetimes and I think on top of doing our best, doing the hard part of the work, we need to be forgiving of ourselves when things feel insurmountable. we ARE at a limit. we have to balance action with empathy.

America has a demented president running the country and the people who voted for him, or couldn't get themselves to vote for Harris so they stayed home or voted 3rd party, are responsible for this damn mess. Anyone with a lick of sense could have seen this coming.

We must come to terms with the fact that anything that Donald Trump or any member of his administrations says is automatically a lie.

The fact that all investigations into trump were ceased because he was elected president shows that America isn’t a functioning democracy.

Giving control of all 3 branches of government to the Republicans was a bigger mistake than electing Trump. You managed to exploit a Constitutional flaw that the founding fathers never anticipated because it didn’t seem possible that either party could be entirely, 100% corrupt.

The most likely scenario in my opinion.

Not that I was upset about that or cared about it at all.

The best Ghostbuster and I will fight you about it

it is devastating to notice how few benches there are in the world and how some benches have been replaced by weird "leaning" things. the world is incredibly cruel to disabled, elderly, poor, pregnant, tired, homeless, and all people. there should be benches fucking everywhere for everyone

Look, if you want to figure out some way to use crime to bring the rich to heel, I have ideas.

Once voting opens, everyone who can vote should vote for Seanan for Best Series. Why? Well, aside from the fact that it's an awesome series, she will go into her local swamp in her ballgown. I want to see this. Seanan + ballgown + swamp = happy Seanan. A vote for Seanan is a vote for swamp fun!

well... THAT's pretty eye opening, actually, Mike, to just say it out loud like that. Did that sound different in your head?

In a nutshell. 😊

This is low on the list of Trump outrages, but it’s completely unethical for him to make important government announcements exclusively on a social media platform he owns. It’s a perversion of the presidency to put cash in Trump’s pocket.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran. These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East. And they put Trump's ego before America. Every damn time.

Heya folks! Penguin Random House and @seananmcguire.bsky.social have kindly provided a copy of her new Magic novel Omens of Chaos for me to give away! All you have to do is share this and leave a comment on my interview with Seanan, which is linked in the next post!

I think this is the most likely explanation for what unfolded after the fact. #DonaldJChrist

Everything is staged. Including his assignation attempt.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

I am thrilled for the HUNGARIAN people who voted for change. AND THRILLED THAT DONALD J TRUMP IS GOING TO HAVE A MAJOR MELTDOWN OVER THIS . AND JD TOO JD FAILED AGAIn

Let today in Hungary be a warmup for what we can do, for what we can have.

If this is true that Donald should be indicted for murder.

The ultra-wealthy can’t cheat death, but they can use death to cheat taxes. Let me explain.

Genuinely feeling like Mamdani has finally figured out the thing the left has historically been The Worst at. The left needs to: (a) use government to do Good and Popular Things Normal: [✓] Mamdani: [✓] (b) TELL PEOPLE VERY LOUDLY AND MEMORABLY EVERY TIME IT DOES Normal: [ x ] Mamdani: [✓]

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies -Cracked down on predatory landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

This 😤

💯 DARVO

Once again the orange bully brings us to the brink of terror but then offers a two week truce History has already labeled him a disgrace, and he has proven yet again there is no low he can achieve as a human being. Two weeks of "truce" now to manipulate the markets

This book is a GREAT entry into Magic lore, written by such a talented author who does representation *really well*. Buy the book! Feed her enormous Maine Coon cats! Read some cool magic school adventures!

The president of the United States is a mentally deteriorating sociopathic terrorist.

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

Trump’s immigration thugs detained the wife of a newlywed soldier who was training to deploy in the next few months. ICE detentions and deaths are still at record highs. Even though it’s not in the headlines, ICE is still carrying out Trump’s campaign of cruelty. Never forget this.

is there an over/under on whether republicans try to rename the whole country (trumpmerica? no, maybe trumpistan?) before he's gone www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump is asking Congress for even more money for war, offset by billions in cuts to domestic and social safety-net programs. It makes this 1970s anti-war PSA all the more relevant today.

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

I need more Swedish friends so I can obsess over #Beck and #AlexBeijer and #JennieSilfverhjelm please and thank you
