in addition to being depraved, i just got a vision of a 50-year-old rittenhouse still trying to dine on killing two people when he was 17

Vance was a pusher of lies about Haitians before he was a pusher of lies about Somalians.

More shocking video from this dark day….

Google the video & see for yourself. This is not law enforcement. This is murder. Sickening.

My God.

they are recruiting for the worst, bottom-of-the-barrel chuds imaginable and those chuds are behaving exactly as you'd expect

keep thinking of a vocally anti-woke reporter who insisted that the term "environmental racism" was nonsense

Fellows Dems, it is time make @bsky.app our primary social media link and posting place and leave X behind. It is time now.

FYI: In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

This is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.

Follow the money, or monied families in this case.

This!! He is a criminal & a liar who surrounds himself with other criminals and liars to promote his kingdom of lies.

Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Chris Murphy: "At some level he's winning tonight because clearly part of his intent here was to distract the American people -- you and I -- from what's happening here at home. You have 20 million families who are getting massive increases in their healthcare premiums. People will die."

This! He has never been held accountable in any way that forced him to face his actions. He's too wealthy and powerful to be hurt by any fines and we failed to imprison him for his multiple crimes. Like a toddler who never learned from natural consequences he continue his deplorable behavior.

If you repeat a lie often enough...!

Trump floats the idea of canceling future elections

Democracy is facing a "quiet, industrial subversion machine." From structural rigging & weaponized data purges to attacking mail ballots, this ecosystem is designed to engineer outcomes in advance. Here is the anatomy of the threat & how we build the defense. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #ProudBlue

It reminded me of this comment from John McCain . . .

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

More than 68000 people are in ICE custody, and 39 died in custody last year. The American secret police have found a new way of avoiding so called 'repatriation' costs.

We vote with our ballots AND our wallets. Support businesses that support our democracy!

🚨BREAKING: DOJ admits it has only released 12,285 documents required by Epstein Files Transparency Act. More than 2 million documents still need to be reviewed/released. DOJ is in violation of federal law that required release by Dec. 19. More from Democracy Docket in am. www.democracydocket.com

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s testified before the House Judiciary Committee two weeks ago. His request to testify publicly was denied by Chair Jim Jordan, who then released the transcript on New Year’s Eve. READ the thread below.Share it.

7️⃣ In those states I see tools that rhyme with the Hungary and Poland story: aggressive gerrymandering, constitutional tax and spending caps, supermajority requirements to raise revenue, and captured state supreme courts that pre‑decide major fights as well as preempting local power of growing cities

1️⃣ I’m not a Hungary or Poland expert, so on these countries I lean on Princeton scholar @kimlanelaw.bsky.social But listening to her explain how Viktor Orbán has “petrified” power in Hungary, I heard the same architecture I’ve been mapping in US states. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

4/ Result: elections without fiscal power. States become stuck with regressive sales taxes while land, wealth, and capital gains are shielded. North Carolina’s 2018 income tax cap locks in austerity by constitution. Policy preferences become constitutionally frozen.

1/ Red-state politics changed. In the 2000s Republicans used constitutions as Culture War billboards to drive turnout. God, guns, gays. Since 2010 the strategy shifted. They stopped trying to win arguments & started rigging the casino of democracy. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Let me be very clear: tomorrow morning and EVERY DAY THIS WEEK, call your Reps and Senators whether Dem, Republican or Independent. Express your outrage at Trump’s imperial and illegal actions against sovereign nations. TELL THEM to convene. To hold up everything. Hold up $. 202-224-3121

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

Venezuela latest: China demands US free Maduro - as Trump threatens military operation against 'sick' Colombia. news.sky.com/story/venezu...

Statement from she who should have been our President.

All of this! We have used our power for both good and greed. It should not be a surprise that a some countries feel resentment or anger toward us.

You don't treat lawlessness with more lawlessness!

Trump is trying to distract us from the Epstein files by launching a military invasion from the same golf resort that trafficked children to Epstein.

Chris Murphy: "Clearly this is wildly illegal. This is a president who has been operating illegally since he was sworn in -- stealing from the American people, seizing spending power, now dragging America into a war overseas ... Donald Trump's entire foreign policy is corrupt."

The conversation on Threads

@maddow.bsky.social: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”

We knew years ago that trump was grotesquely unsuited for public service. We knew he was a rude bully, a corrupt businessman, a lecherous pervert. Revenge is his favorite form of entertainment now that he's too old & obvious to attract partners. He's always been the type who shouldn't have power.

. And before his people threw him out, Ceausescu lived in a palace that included much gold and a huge ballroom . . . ... does that sound familiar to anyone ? 🖕 all dictators ! .

CPAC 2024 January 6th was just a dress rehearsal #republicans #republicanparty #trumpcoup #fascism #insurrection

The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" cut $1 TRILLION from Medicaid. This doesn't just hurt hospitals. It guts Home & Community-Based Services. Without this funding, thousands of disabled Americans will lose their independence and be forced into institutions.

What will future generations say…

Breaking: The Dept of Ed has fired nearly all staff at the Office of Special Education (OSERS). Without staff, there is NO one to enforce IDEA. If your child’s school refuses to provide services, there is no longer a federal cop on the beat to help you. 7.3 million kids left behind. Thank you MAGA

The cruelty is the point. He loves to watch people suffer.
