On another note, SANITY happens when you turn off notifications and only resume them at your leisure.

Round and round. It's all going around in circles. STILL, NO ELECTED official sucking up a seat in Congress is doing shit against this putrid, corrupt, dangerous administration. It's nauseating, exhausting, infuriating and unfortunately was predictable to some of us that it would be this way. 💔🤬

Ukraine takes out fuel processing and storage facilities, and weapons and munitions manufacturing factories. Russia targets homes, schools, and hospitals.

The Colbert effect and I’m here for it. Loser CBS. Good, lose more.

We've seen the largest attack on multiracial democracy in a generation as well as their assault on women, girls, LGBTQ community. Now we're seeing the assault on civil rights and voting rights. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Each of us needs to step up and do our part.

Jon Ossoff: "RFKjr is attempting to demolish Americans' public health. We, in Georgia, have always been proud to host the CDC. It's never been a partisan thing. What we've seen is an intentional effort to destroy this once preeminent agency. This puts our country and the world at risk."

www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/w... The scale of the outbreak could be far larger than currently detected and reported, the W.H.O. said in declaring a “public health emergency of international concern.” Eight of 13 samples collected in various areas tested positive, the agency said.

A win! The Senate parliamentarian ruled against the $1B provision meant to fund Trump’s White House ballroom in the budget reconciliation package. The funds were struck down for violating the Byrd Rule, which bars “extraneous” non-budgetary provisions from passing through reconciliation.

Do you agree with Gov Newsom that we are seeing the return of Jim Crow in our country with the elimination of 14 Democratic congressional districts across the South that represented Black communities? I do & it's vital that everyone fight to win every seat possible. CA-40 is winnable. Please help!🧵

Elon - it’s such little dick behavior of you not to want to pay taxes. BIG dick moguls DEMAND to pay their share. It proves they know their worth and are DYING to flex it. Your unwillingness to pay just shows what an itty bitty dick you have. Your baby dick will grow if you pay your fucking taxes.

MN House erupts when Speaker Demuth refuses to hold a vote on a gun violence prevention package. This is what Good Trouble, necessary trouble, looks like. #DyingForGunSafety

Moving forward, we need to start holding all leaders accountable for their crimes. No matter their title. No matter their skin color. No matter their financial worth. No matter their political affiliation. We haven't and it's the biggest reason we're here.

Fully on board with the orcas! 😆

A Gallup poll found that seven out of 10 Americans said they would oppose a data center being built near them. Opposition is so intense, the poll found, that more Americans would rather live near a nuclear power plant than a data center. | Washington Post archive.ph/8yQin

Republicans can gerrymander the living hell out of red states and SCOTUS shrugs. Virginia lets voters decide directly & SCOTUS kills it anyway. Fuck this. Democrats need to stop bringing a rulebook to a knife fight & start playing by the same rules. No war was every won by the side playing fair. .

#MorningVibe Watch and get inspired by the powerful message of hope that Nigerian artist/poet, Maryam Bukar Hassan delivers in her spoken word piece ‘Peace is a Verb’. “Peace is not found, it is built. Peace is not a line we cross. It is a choice we make.”

Late 80's and early 90's. Geeze. Thin as fuck eyebrows, huge obnoxious hair, Stein's white highlighting powder and fake eyelashes that fell off all the time. Those were the days. Ha! Have a great weekend, everyone.

Check your voting status in your state and make sure everything is correct and most importantly, that your voting status is still ACTIVE and that you haven't been purged. Then, get your ass to your polling station and VOTE. I'm not as "popular" here as once before so please remind your friends.

Child-Rapist Donald Trump is suing himself, yes he's the plaintiff and defendant, and he is about to award himself TEN BILLION Dollars. Taken directly from Taxpayers and directly into Trump's very own Bank Account. I KID YOU NOT. He's stealing OUR Money now www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

How can something that was never approved by Congress be under budget when it never had a budget to begin with? #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1

One wonders if the men on the SC are in the Epstein files that DOJ refuses to release...

I quoted the Virginia Constitution and Republicans are losing their minds.🤯 Jonathan Turley suggested I am a "radical" and "Jacobian" for literally quoting the Virginia Constitution's Bill of Rights.😂

I don't have high expectations regarding Trump's meeting with Xi - and it's a lot more than the Iran War dragging him (and the U.S. by extension) down.

Much of the worst damage Trump is doing to the US won't be felt for years.

Rest well, Jason Collins. You were so courageous, loved, appreciated, respected and will never be forgotten. Love and comfort to Brunson & family and friends left to mourn Jason's passing.

Don't cling to a mistake just because you spent a long time making it. Good night, cuties.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

This is the candidate who pledged to drop out if she were the nominee, so Osborne (I) could run alone against the Republican candidate.

So the Republican Supermajority breaks the law and violates the constitution to strip Memphis of representation — then Speaker Sexton strips Dems of committee assignments for daring to protest. Welcome to Tennessee.

It was great joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @ginafortexas.bsky.social today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

Republicans refused to show up today for the #Epstein survivors testimony. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett explains this shouldn’t be a partisan issue. She’s right. Shameful.

Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

Not bothered and putting all devices on silent.

Re: reconciliation, the Senate trying to convince the Parliamentarian that it's OK to have all these extra expenses for ICE and CBP and $1B for a ballroom even though they don't have any revenue offsets or expense reductions as is required with reconciliation. Pick up your phone!

Happy TOT 👅 (thanks for the reminder, Henry!)❤️

Great Britain has been ahead of the US when dealing with the revelations in the Epstein files. Epstein survivor, Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, ‘Nobody’s Girl’ has been named Book of the Year at the British Book Awards! #ProudBlue #GreatBritian www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

The Supreme Court once called the Voting Rights Act of 1965 a necessary defense against racial discrimination. Now the Court is hollowing it out. The Republican Supreme Court and Trump are trying to disempower minorities in this country, and that is crystal clear. #JimCrowJen

Not a big deal my ass! Recall Landry! #Louisiana

The same administration that told you America was broke that we “have to gut the Forest Service”, slash public lands budgets, and fire federal workers to save money, just spent $29 billion on the Iran war. In only a few months.

So, did he just take that $56 million that his cult paid for the phones and... pocket it? Sure seems that way, huh?! Suckers. 😂

In 2012, former child actor Brock Pierce emailed Epstein, “I had a great time with the girls. Hope they had fun too. Thanks.” Last week, Brock helped to unveil the golden statue of Trump... You are the company you keep. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/210269/...
