If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

ICE is hiring, do you have passion in terrorizing others while wearing a mask?

“Soldaten” by Neitzel tells one story of Berlin police officers who were entertainers, and they were sent to entertain troops in Nov 1942. They asked a commander if they could “take a turn” shooting Jews in an upcoming execution. Their request was approved and they murdered people for fun.

Ah yes, the now famous “Kavanaugh arrests.”

ICE is absolutely out of control in Chicago.

Again, not a trans person.

Sanders: These projects have been appropriated. They were signed by a president. It is illegal to rescind them. And to say to people in Vermont, in New York and California, oh, you didn't vote for Donald Trump, we're going to take away funding that was supposed to go to your state… illegal

This is perhaps the ultimate expression of the phenomenon feminist theorist Marilyn Frye described 50yrs ago: that many self-proclaimed heterosexual men neither like nor desire women. This is why the bros invented RealDolls & now AI "actresses:" they want femininity, not human beings who are women.

We cannot stage or script a better example of pathology than our convicted felon President. The gap between what he thinks he is and what he actually is should be measured in light years.

Lots of talk about the Hatch Act. Laws only matter if they are enforced by LEOs and upheld by the courts. If both of those aren’t happening, then the law is just words that someone wrote down.

“.. What this administration is doing is unprecedented, illegal and flat-out wrong. .. I’ve been deeply engaged in our federal government for over 30 years and there is nothing that has come close.” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

"They think they won't release the Epstein files? We won't release the Epstein files so much more than they won't!"

File this under “essential function.” 🤡 #Shutdown abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

The new GOP slogan: Stop attacking pedophiles?

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth. Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

I wish I could not see what Trump says and what he does as well as Republican Senators don't.

It's disturbing that our rights are often seen -- incorrectly -- as though they're granted by the government rather than a limitation of the government's authority. *People* within the jurisdiction of the U.S. have rights that cannot be reducted by the government.

Confession: I had to look up "obloquy," and I loved it.

If you are calling for someone’s arrest because they called you a fascist, you might just be a fascist. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just thinking today of all the colleagues who called us alarmists and cranks when we pointed out that Trump was talking and acting like a fascist in 2016

Oh no. Don’t take away my totally legitimate and beloved jobs report on Oct 3. Anything but that!

I’d like to know how drones and missiles will counter a cyberattack from N Korea, Russia, China, Iran, etc. While Whiskey Pete cosplays as SecDef, DHS is weakening our ability to detect and combat cyberattacks. This clown wants to prepare for the wars of our grandfathers.

The Secretary of Defense who only got the job because the president saw him on the teevee is complaining about military leaders who were promoted "for the wrong reasons"

It’s totally awesome that the least qualified guy in that room — a Fox News personality — is on stage talking about military readiness. 🫠

I assume he’s talking about his good buddies?

"Mr. Speaker, why were those charges brought before a grand jury? Let's talk about the President's words and actions preceding that indictment..."

Fortunately there's only 3 more years of rapidly escalating fascism before there's a peaceful exchange of power

What do we call people who change their minds based on how they feel at the moment? Volatile. We call them volatile. The integrity and fidelity to the Constitution that SCOTUS used to have has been incinerated during the Roberts era. This is a chaos court.

Wait... J6 was a day of peace and love and practically a tour group and no one was violent and we have to pardon the J6ers but also WE NEED TO GET THE FBI FOR WHAT THEY MADE TRUMP SUPPORTERS DO!!! Do I have that right?

Did someone say Fitty K?

I'm trying to imagine a scenario in which "We need to stay in our lane" would be Republicans' reaction to a Democratic president using the DoJ to go after conservatives.

“I'm going to judge you for who you are. How you are as a human being. Are you kind? Are you polite?" “Also, I voted for Trump.” The cognitive dissonance.... Have the day you voted for, my guy. 🧐

Broader lessons should be learned from the centrist establishment's mistaken belief they could maintain popular support for Israel by allying themselves with the right and wagging their fingers at the left.

Yes the 34X convicted felon who pardoned 1600 violent insurrectionists, pardoned soldiers convicted of the most horrific war crimes, tried to fire Inspectors General, & won’t investigate open bribery of his own cronies—is definitely indicting James Comey because he cares so much about law and order.

Dude’s just dishing out motions to dismiss like he’s Oprah Winfrey.

California is proud to announce a new partnership with Kenya to advance efforts to cut pollution and support trade. While the federal government turns a blind eye to the climate crisis, California remains a reliable international partner in clean energy.

Have the day you voted for, Tennessee!

Shot and chaser:

America first? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fast Forward, Trump: “I spoke with Orban. We have a great relationship, great relationship. Very successful talk. I negotiated a deal that will increase Hungary’s Russian oil imports.” MAGA: “ThE aRt Of ThE dEaL!!”

The U.S. isn’t just a place. It’s the belief that no challenge is too great, no setback too permanent, and no dream too far out of reach. Our greatest strength has never been our wealth or our power—it’s our people. A nation of resilience, optimism, and determination. That’s what defines us. 🇺🇸
