Okay. Enough is enough. No more ‘radio ga ga’ and ‘radio goo goo.’ It’s all I hear!

The reason we need DEI is because we DO treat others differently because of who they are. DEI is focused on merit, which Vance doesn’t understand. And yet, he and MAGA demonize it.

MAGA: BILL CLINTON'S IN THE EPSTEIN FILES! Bill Clinton: Release the files. #epsteinfiles

It is so dry in our apartment that I dreamed about trying to find a cup to get a drink of water, but all I could find were cups toddlers had used and I wasn't that thirsty.

It cannot be an offense to repeat what the law itself clearly states: Soldiers are not required to follow illegal commands. This is political persecution, and it must end now.

The White House getting in the Christmas spirit by blaming the most vulnerable members of society for the suffering Trump is responsible for. Jesus would have hated these people.

This denial of funding is illegal, right?

So, we pick and choose, complying with what we agree with and calling those we don’t “activist” and not legal.

What was that about being upset about being called racist?

“I was paid in the past for my opinions, that’s clear, and one day I’ll be back in that space,” Bongino declared. “But that’s not what I’m paid for now. I’m paid to be your deputy director, and we base investigations on facts.”

Here's Pete Hegseth in 2016 saying the U.S. military “won’t follow unlawful orders" from a President. What changed, Pete? Our Secretary of Defense is an unqualified and unserious person.

Using official White House platforms to shame news organizations for their reporting is unconstitutional government retaliation against the press.

No country should be run by “does it reverse what my predecessor/perceived enemy did?”

We often extend the privilege of our understanding to those within our circle, allowing them to bend the rules we so rigidly enforce against those we perceive as outsiders.

It's disheartening to see the constant erosion of basic decorum among some of our highest government officials. This isn't about stifling debate or enforcing a rigid code of conduct. It's about recognizing that how our leaders behave has real consequences: 🧵 1/5

The core sickness in our discourse isn't a disagreement over policy. It's the pervasive refusal to see the person on the other side as a complex, feeling human being. Once you reduce someone to a label for an idea, empathy becomes impossible. And without empathy, there is no dialogue. Only combat.

What was that about rhetoric from the Left fueling violence?

Disagreement is the engine of democracy. Dehumanization is the engine of collapse. #Civility #Politics

No President should ever stoke this kind of division and dehumanize the other half of the country in this way.

You can’t say you’re law and order and break any laws. Copyright laws included. #justiceforpokemon

Is it illegal for a US president to persecute political enemies? Yes. Key violations include: •1st Amendment (free speech/association) •4th Amendment (unreasonable searches) •5th/14th Amendment (due process) •Equal protection rights 1/3

This Pentagon policy is deeply unamerican. Requiring journalists to pledge they won't report ANY unclassified info not "expressly authorized" goes way beyond protecting classified material - it's demanding pre-censorship. 1/3

🚨 Things the Trump administration is doing that federal courts have ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL: • Attempting to end birthright citizenship through executive order - multiple federal appeals courts have ruled this violates the 14th Amendment 1/3

I just want a life that’s a ding-a-derry. Is that too much to ask?

The political opposition is not the enemy. We are not at war with each other. True democracy means standing for our personal stances and then working together to lead our nation.

Do they truly believe the Left is more politically violent? Is this cognitive dissonance? If so, the conversations need to shift.

This is shameful that anyone would feel the need to diminish their cultural light.

I'm learning that listening, being uncomfortable, and educating myself is the work. My role is to support, not center myself. #AntiRacism

Deploying the National Guard to fight crime in U.S. cities blurs the line between military force and civilian policing. America isn’t a war zone. Communities need investment, not occupation. Policing is for police, not soldiers. #Demilitarize #CivilRights #PublicSafety

When Republicans take offense to the Left saying they don’t care about people… this is why it’s believed republicans don’t care about people!

D.C. religious leaders condemn Trump: "From the White House, the president sees a lawless wasteland. We beg to differ. We see fellow human beings—neighbors, workers, friends and family." "Safety cannot be achieved through political theatre and military force."

A DOGE kid gets beat up in DC and it’s DefCon1; hundreds of bullets into federal buildings with officer killed in Atlanta and it’s crickets; violent mob attacks Capitol wounding dozens of officers and it’s pardons for all.

You’ve got to govern for all the people of your state. Whether it’s Chicago or Cairo, we’ve invested in education, infrastructure, and jobs in every part of the state. We need more people who are willing to reach across the aisle and do the right thing when they’re in office.

The mentality reflected in this statement by Donald Trump is problematic for several reasons: 1/8

A president’s dislike of facts doesn’t justify retaliation. Democracy relies on leaders accepting scrutiny, not weaponizing power to silence it.

Leader Schumer: "What does a bad leader do when they get bad news? Shoot the messenger. That's just what happened with the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics."

“…have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show. Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God, not find God.” Alice Walker, The Color Purple

Today is a sad day for our judicial system. By confirming Emil Bove, my Republican colleagues once again failed their constitutional duties and put loyalty to Donald Trump over the good of our country.

Only we can undermine the integrity of the judiciary! And our own department.

Maybe freedom of speech isn’t all it’s cracked up to be given how government officials lie and smear and propagandize so freely.

#Whataboutism is the favorite tool of fools, deflecting because they can’t argue honestly. Weak minds avoid accountability. Don’t let them.

51 today, 241 days #sober , and ready for my fifties! #birthday

The new Sex and Relationships guidance issued by the Department of Education appears unaware that a) AIDS can’t be transmitted and b) the ‘S’ stands for syndrome and isn’t just a plural for AID. Educational guidance so ill-informed can’t be trusted. And it isn’t even the worst thing about it. 😡

If you insist you’re hiring by merit, you’re a hypocrite for firing not by merit, but by political association.

If MAGA buys this, that’s cognitive dissonance even greater than what they already employ!
