HEADLINE OF THE DAY: 😆 #BuhBYE

The other reason "it was a mess" was because of... RACISM. So, I'd also, you know, point that out.

See, if it was me, I'd say "Yeah, it was a mess. And that mess was settled by the Civil Rights Act. Which came waaay after non-domiciled people were being given birthright citizenship. And the Civil Rights Act decided that was fine. Which ended the question."

If you’re born in the United States, you are an American citizen. That’s a constitutional guarantee in the 14th Amendment and reaffirmed by court precedent, including US v. Wong Kim Ark. Any attempts to strip citizenship from people born on U.S. soil are unconstitutional.

In the good ole days of Calvin’s Case, the justices would’ve dispensed with this in five minutes.

I hate missing the opportunity to do this in person on the day of, but I'm going to wait until we're all back from inclement weather days before diving into #BlackHistoryMonth content. share.google/bASiDxz0HM4H...

Dear whomever it was who sped up and honked as you drove by, ensuring I got showered with a wave of dirty slush as I was trying to shovel a neighbor's driveway to help them out.....nah, you weren't funny.🖕😡 Why was I wholly unsurprised to see a MAGA sticker and American flag on your rear window?

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now. Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it. Don’t forget this.

New: "If Republicans had a lick of courage or common sense, they’d already be demanding major changes to the humiliatingly awful amateur hour show underway at the U.S. Justice Department, where prosecutions are rife with incompetence and abuse of the rule of law." Free links/subscriptions.

But he calls Senators unqualified.....

It's truly chilling what seems imminent based on a cursory study of history.

Trump administration says it will target far left groups for Kirk's assassination. Prosecutors made no such link.

Today is the 40th anniversary of #LiveAid. To my generation, this was such a pivotal moment in our pop culture. Sadly, not a single network is replaying it today. Thankfully, we have this YouTube playlist to relive the day: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

And now they're murdering civilians.

Unconscionable dereliction of duty.

Senator @campbell4tn.bsky.social is correct. Senator @MarshaBlackburn is lying. Never has cutting $1 Trillion from a program “strengthened” it. She thinks we are all idiots. People will lose coverage. Hospitals will close. All for a tax cut for herself and her donors.

Slowly but surely, the classroom is getting there If you'd like to help me #ClearTheList for this school year, I would DEFINITELY appreciate it: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Senator #TedCruz, the public seeks assurance from its elected leaders and all you can do is whinge about "partisan finger-pointing" in the wake of this tragedy in Texas when asked about what could/should have been done differently after federal cuts prevented any of it from being carried out?

With this ruling, the Supreme Court is giving the green light for this Administration to literally #decountrify people. I did not read the arguments, but besides the due process argument, I sure as hell hope the 8th Amendment was brought up.

Republicans, the party of small government. apnews.com/article/stud...

Processing this latest round of unhinged tyranny.....

@abreezeclayton.bsky.social You must be tired of putting up with crap like this from dirty old men. 😡🤮

This is a must-watch! #NoKingsDay youtu.be/5BRHuiRyVEE?...

#AmazingGrace was written by a slaver who eventually realized the error of his ways and became a passionate abolitionist. We can only hope for such a turnaround with this lot. Otherwise, yeah - it's just more performative BS not unlike wearing a cross necklace at pressers.

A head of state literally fucking Photoshopped images documenting a humanitarian visit by @vanhollen.senate.gov to make it seem like they were having Happy hour.

The best of Val Kilmer #RIP

Heartbroken. Hearing this was not a good end to the night. I will remember these roles the most - Jim Morrison, Chris, Iceman, and my personal favorite Doc Holliday. Nobody who has ever watched Tombstone can deny that he stole every single scene he was in. You're my huckleberry, Val. Always. 😢😢😢

This is how a sitting US Rep. responded to a foreign journalist trying to ask a valid question. Marjorie Taylor Greene is truly ugly and venomous. The only thing I feel she actually represents is the worst elements of American bluster that get far too much airplay nowadays.

Deflect, spin, attack the source all you want, #MAGA. You absolutely cannot deny that the #Signal botch job is developing into a national security scandal beyond your control thanks to your leaders' incompetence. www.spiegel.de/internationa...

‼️ALL NATURAL-BORN CHILDREN OF NATURALIZED CITIZENS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS‼️ This new #ExecutiveOrder is not just about disenfranchisement - it threatens birthright citizenship. The order does NOT indicate that birth certificates are among accepted documents to prove citizenship.

He has no clue what #Signal actually is, does he?

Donald, come get your boy Pete. He be drunk-texting again...... But seriously, this level of recklessness is asinine. Have those guys never heard of a SCIF? This definitely merits an investigation.

We face a Constitutional crisis. That's not an overstatement given how this Administration callously disregards basic rights and protections. It happened to #MahmoudKhalil, it happened to #FabianSchmidt, it happened to those accused of involvement with #TrenDeAragua. Who's next?

Deplorable. I hope there's an avenue for Mahmoud and Noor to take civil action against ICE and these agents.

Last ones. Totality ended and the Moon is about to drop behind a treeline. Plus, I'm sleepy. #LunarEclipse #BloodMoon

#LunarEclipse. Best I could do through the telescope. Became a real challenge at full eclipse with barely any light around the Moon.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Trump Administration disappeared Mahmoud Khalil in order to capitalize on the liberal/left split on Gaza. You either step up to defend people and protect rights or you don’t. This is another crossroads and I pray people see it for what it is.

They came and said they were revoking his student visa and green card. They threatened to detain his pregnant wife. His family and attorney were told he was sent to a local ICE facility. He's not there. They now have no idea where he is. apnews.com/article/colu...

BRUNO YOU BEAUTY!!!!!

I'll take "Stuff that didn't happen but I'll make it up to try and score political points" for $200. Also, who refers to taking a walk with their children to "I was walking my daughter"? #Vance is an opportunistic liar, and still just plain weird.

JD #Vance seemed to forget that he's married o a minority as he leapt to his feet laughing heartily. There was simply NOTHING funny about this. Another example of #MAGA's simply disgusting and unmasked (unhooded?) behavior.

Tommy #Tuberville is not only one of the least-intelligent members of Congress, he's also an extraordinarily outlandish liar. What utter BS here. And it's so rooted in paranoia and bigotry.

Hey, if everyone else gets to post their amateur takes on that meeting between #Zelenskyy, Donald, and Vance yesterday, I get to do the same, right?

Pass it on. #SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine

The headline is NOT "Trump and Vance spar with #Zelenskyy". The main story is US failure to strengthen its commitment to an European ally. "America first" and "take care of ourselves first" as a policy has left us with some pretty significant dark points in our history.

Besides the condescendingly arrogant tone, consider the body language as well. 1. If you want to openly show disdain towards someone, you don't maintain eye contact. Look at how Donald addresses Zelenskyy. 2. The finger-wagging by both Donald and Vance. Definitely not how to address an ally.

In just a few sentences, we got a clear window into the exact type of toxicity that J.D. #Vance oozes. Listen to the way he addressed #Zelenskyy, and the sheer arrogance behind "You should be thankful" (multiple times). Pretty certain this was orchestrated but he relished the role too much.

"What if Russia breaks ceasefire?" "What are you saying?" "She's asking what if Russia breaks the ceasefire?" "What, if anything? What if a bomb drops on your head right now, ok?" 😳😳😳
