This should be a Five Alarm Fire on every G'ddamned media outlet in the world. I very rarely post a link to someone else's newsletter...as I have my own. This, however...is a MUST see. open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

Yet another person of color manhandled, arrested, and charged for daring to speak truth to power. Republicans don’t want to lead us. They want to rule us! To my fellow white people - it’s long past time to wake the f up - if not for selfless reasons, then how about because you are likely next?

(Gomer Pyle voice) Well, surprise, surprise, surprise!

I’ve been wondering where they were. Glad to see them back at it!

Also works the other way around.

Elon believes no one really holds liberal values like helping others anonymously and with no hope of getting rich. Musk wants to wipe that work off the planet, rather than accept that, for real, not everyone is as crappy and soulless as he is. #Resistance read.letterhead.email/standing-roo...

Please share! Rep. McGovern: "Maybe before coming after USAID, Republican should look at the billions and billions of dollars of tax breaks and subsidies they give to oligarchs like Elon Musk. You want to save some money? Let's start there." Right!?

📌Call (202) 224-3121 and say this: "A NAZI-LOVING BILLIONAIRE DOES NOT BELONG INSIDE OUR GOVERNMENT OR ANYWHERE NEAR OUR MONEY OR PERSONAL INFORMATION. JUST WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING ABOUT THIS?" 📌It's time for everybody to sharpen those elbows, pick themselves up and FIGHT BACK! My latest.

Anyone??!

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social We are DEMANDING that the Democratic Party take a stronger and more forceful part in the resistance. Stop voting for the felon's noms. STAND UP to them and to him. @aoc.bsky.social can't do it all by herself. I'm a proud Dem but I see not real leadership now.

Looks like we weren’t the only ones who’d rather get a root canal than watch Trump lie about protecting the Constitution. His second inauguration tanked at just 24.59M viewers—less than Biden’s 33.76M in 2021 and even his own 30.64M in 2017. Team Trump will lie about this, so spread the word!

The world is about to change. Before I can start to face those changes I want to say "THANK YOU" Mr. President and Madam Vice President. You brought fairness and decency back to the people's house. I will always be proud of voting for each of you!

The words of Dr King are still true today. Let us celebrate him and everything he has taught us knowing the difficult days ahead. He never sat down and neither can we. #DRMLKJR ✊

Everything is dumb and terrible, and it's gonna be dumb and terrible for a while. It’s important to do what you can to make it less dumb and terrible, and it's important to find a way make some contentment for yourself in spite of everything being dumb and terrible.

I think Newsome should invite the convicted felon and sexual predator to California and give him the honor of opening the valve himself. Invite him and say, "Thanks so much for giving me this wonderful advice. Come, turn the valve for us. You should of course get this honor since it was your idea.

Well said.

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

Just sayin…

RIP President Jimmy Carter. The end of an era that valued decency, compassion, kindness, truth, dignity, and honesty. #EditorialCartoon #Political #Commentary #PoliticalCommentary #Politics #USA #MAGA #Trump #USNews #Funny #Humor #AI #AIArt #Aigenerated #AIgeneratedArt

Yes, exactly this. This is why I just made the Cat Pics feed my main feed. Starting with that every day is where my peace is coming from. Where is yours coming from?

Trump was finally right about something An immigrant took his job

Well said 👏👏👏👏👏

Jus sayin'😏

And, he FUCKING said this before the election. But again, it was more important whether there was proof Harris worked at McDonalds or if she laughed funny or if she had policies that she clearly enunciated versus the word salad of 🍊💩 FAFO is going to be interesting for damn sure. #Demcast #resist

📌Under Joe Biden: -Record 16 million jobs created -Lowest average unemployment rate of any administration in 50 yrs -Incomes up $4,000 over prices -Inflation at world-best 2% -Economy grew more than any presidential term this century Dems lose election because of economy. Absolutely INSANE.

Cancelling English Literature courses at universities, no poetry on the curriculum, few opportunities for kids to learn a musical instrument, the complete lack of visual art appreciation in many schools: these are the hallmarks of a culture intent on its own destruction. The stupidity must stop. Now

This.

How about this? TAX THE CHURCHES TAX THE RICH KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE and MEDICAID AND THE VA!!!!! Agree? ✋

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight. The class wars.
