Donald Trump is shredding our Constitution. It’s a deliberate plan to strip Americans of our rights, and I will not stand by and watch him destroy the legal framework of our democracy. I’m running for Congress to STOP Trump’s destruction, and I need your support to win.

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

Does E. Jean Carroll need any assistance in filing her slam-dunk claim against her rapist's $1.8 billion slush fund for being a victim of the weaponization of the judiciary? I'd be glad to help!

Our government is led by f*cking lunatics.

Since last year, the Trump administration has terminated 2,300 NIH grants and cut $2.5 billion in funding for critical research on diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer, while creating a $1.8 billion slush fund to reward the President’s allies and supporters, even those who assaulted Capitol Police.

Some years ago, I spotted a bumper sticker that read, "I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one."

"I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment." is a great line that should be repeated as often as possible.

Just because the guy is wearing a tie doesn't mean he is a successful Middle Schooler.

Thrilled to have this poem by Adam Makary in @hidden-cities.com, writing from Cairo. Style Guide the child is never named. the rubble is implied. do not use words like massacre unless sourced by three governments that did not bleed. www.hidden-cities.com/p/style-guid...

More than 2,716 reports have been submitted, with the most (612) in Texas, as of Monday. The state is home to more than 460 data centers, according to Data Center Map. Erin Brockovich Asks Americans for Help as She Launches Data Center Map www.newsweek.com/erin-brockov... 🧵💯👇🧵💥💣🧵

Dear fellow Democrats: Stop worrying about everything that could go wrong. Stop wringing your hands over worst case scenarios. This doesn't make you look thoughtful. It makes you look weak. It makes you look small. Have some goddamn pride. Have the kind of confidence undecided voters want to see.

When the next heat wave comes & the electrical grid collapses... will they blame that on not hating Muslims enough? Or maybe trans kids? Texas isn't the only state ignoring critical issues to posture for votes over oppressing people who aren't really hurting anyone.

Less than 2% of Texans are Muslim, but they are the current favorite boogeyman of these 2 a-holes, both running a campaign based on hate and fear. Everybody's screaming about radical Islam while giving radical Christians a seat at the table. Extremism of any kind is the danger.

Congress cannot stand by as the Supreme Court dismantles the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement. It can — and must — codify an enforceable right to vote and set baseline national standards for voting access.

This exactly.

McRaven’s article should remind us all: 1 - Remember and honor their sacrifice. Reflect on its meaning. 2 - Donald Trump should never have been POTUS. Vote out all Republicans, since they’ve proven they are unworthy of American high office.

Great article here. I only learned about this history a few years ago. Shocking that no one talks about it. Just another event white folks want to white wash! time.com/5836444/blac...

I didn’t know about the earliest origin of Memorial Day until I was a grown-ass man —because some folks didn’t want us to. 2021: Memorial Day organizers cut the mic of retired Lt Col Kemter as he discussed how formerly enslaved Americans exhumed remains of soldiers to give them proper burials. 🧵

Whoever copied this got it spot on 👏🤌

Is another Trump Iran Deal collapsing … on Memorial Day? Just filed ===> youtu.be/JYen1o3nhQU?...

THIS IS SO F*CKING IMPORTANT. And a devastating indictment of our “news media”. When did ANY American news organization follow up on Trump’s claims or factually explore JCPOA & its efficacy and weaknesses? AFAIK, only small, fringe outlets did that.

When Confederate troops evacuated Charleston, SC newly emancipated former enslaved folks dug up a mass grave of fallen Union prisoners. They gave them a proper burial in a new cemetery, complete with a whitewashed fence and a powerful inscription: "Martyrs of the Race Course." #SheShed #BlackHistory

Today remember those who gave the ultimate for democracy. Honor their sacrifice and stand in their honor.... The constiution & amendments are the ongoing conversation between liberty and belonging; attempts to widen participation while restraining domination. A balance of power. #proudblue #pinks

Watch lauraodea_ma (IG) bring the grit at the Capitol! 💥 Her #CupOfJoe is running over, and the message is clear: END THE WAR IN IRAN!

www.alternet.org/trump-threat... And Democracy and the Constitution!

if anyone needs an L, cbs is mass producing them now

Good thing Iran giving up uranium and opening the Strait is only 5% or I might be pessimistic about this situation.

😞 If we had a president that wasn’t a Russian op we could stop this.

Fuck Putin.

Wow. They’re openly defending the deletion of DOJ records about a man accused in a child solicitation case who assaulted police on January 6. Truly the Epstein administration.

The president of the United States is a sociopath. I'd love for him to sue me for saying that because then he'd have to prove he's not a sociopath. FDT!!!

Tillis: "To call Paxton 'ethically challenged' is to call Jeffrey Dahmer suffering from an eating disorder. He's gonna be an anchor on our caucus"

Tillis unleashed now he's not running is entertaining but also a reminder of how cowardly the party has been in letting all this happen (including him before he decided to quit).

When news outlets have a MAGA traitor as their guest they should have a policy that the instant that Biden is referenced the guest's microphone is shut off and they are given the boot. Interview over.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Frum offers a terrific synopsis of the Trump Presidency.

HEY #BACKTHEBLUE #LIBERAL INFLUENCER TYPES! Instead of making some stupid quote from Trump from six months ago go viral again, how about we talk about something the Trump regime did last year that's STILL DEEPLY HURTING VULNERABLE #TRANS AND #NONBINARY PEOPLE? bsky.app/profile/moxi...

Political is when a black quarterback silently kneels Not political is when a white quarterback introduces the president’s speech at a campaign rally

🔥 @redstateupdate.bsky.social (MURFREESBORO): “I ain’t sayin’ there wasn’t fraud in government before Trump — but I Guarantee-Damn-Tee you there’s a shitload more now. ‘Fraud’ to Republicans means a Black person/Somali immigrant is doing it- or an undocumented immigrant is in the hospital.”

Congratulations on your wedding Don Jr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.

Every state should take a page out of Hawaii’s playbook on tackling Citizens United
