As a small business owner, I pay 55% in federal, state, county, local taxes.

This is why we use every tool, including the courts. This is why we don't let the regime future fake us. This is why we don't give them any victories. This is why we defend the rule of law. This is why we don't say, "I guess this is a thing they can do now." We hold the line.

It’s a loyalty test. It’s always a loyalty test. And every time Republicans feign ignorance or hem and haw, it gives him the green light to go even further.

Can't wait until thirty seconds into the deposition when Norm asks whether Elon has taken any medications that could affect his testimony

The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass.

How awful are ICE agents? Since 2005, an ICE/Customs and Border Control agent is arrested EVERY 24 to 36 HOURS for criminality. And now they have lowered recruitment and training stands even more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk launched a Holocaust against the world's poor by illegally ending USAID. Hundreds of thousands have died in a year. 14 million human beings will die at the hands of Elon Musk and his band of Shitler Youth if we do not undo the harm this sad empty eugenicist has caused.

It is deeply troubling that the City lost track of tens of millions of dollars intended for affordable housing at a moment when Portlanders are being priced out of their homes and pushed into homelessness faster than we can house them. 🧵

Las Vegas Bar refuses Bovino service "in accordance with venue policy to maintain a safe & orderly environment for all patrons." Logically, all ICE agents must be refused service by all such venues as 1) threats to staff, and 2) threats to safe & orderly environments. Shun them all, everywhere.

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

Bold of you to drive this bootlicker mobile in The Numbers in East Portland.

“There are no words” is not an acceptable thing for the ranking member of the appropriations committee to say.

Me to 17 yr-old currently taking a Chinese history class: Did you hear that China just executed 11 people for a mafia-style scam? 17-yr old: At least they committed crimes? The US govt will execute you in the street for no fucking reason.

@billamend.bsky.social was not even remotely exaggerating. Not one tiny bit.

Welp. My 14 yr-old is now 6ft 1 and officially taller than me. The 17 yr-old is 6 ft 7. Both still growing. When I say the quantity of food these boys can pack away is unreal...it's unreal. Grocery budget? Obliterated. That loaf of bread I just made? Inhaled. That tray of brownies? Poof.

We the people must hold him accountable. Hold all of them accountable.

Reminder that leakers are part of the resistance operating from within. They are refusing to comply. Pillars of support must be eroded inside and out, and encouraging noncompliance of people in the regime is crucial. These folks often undertake significant risk.

Can't wait for the deafening cacophony of boos and jeers for JD Couch Fucker Vance and "Little Marco" Rubio at the Olympics. Also looking forward to Fuck ICE chants breaking out on the regular.

She's behind this

Hey, they don't see this as ugly and awful bc they don't see renters as human beings. They don't see working class people as human. They only see us as an object from which they can extract wealth.

A Republican roadmap to a disrupted election. Worth a read. How do we prevent this scenario?

Malignant Narcissism is a helluva drug www.cnn.com/2026/02/05/p...

Trump has dirt on all his cronies, I guarantee it. It’s how he gets them to do so such horrific things. Bc they’re scared, selfish, corrupt criminals. And some of them enjoy the violence. Homan was being investigated for taking $50k cash bribe until the regime made the FBI investigation go poof.

‼️‼️

Am I wrong, or is releasing half the evidence and then saying, “Moving on, now! No investigation. No charges!” not just a flex about how much they think they can get away with? There will never be justice unless we demand it, pursue it, and refuse to accept anything less.

The fuck we will.

Loudermilk, the treasonous Christofascist white supremacist who gave a private tour of the layout of the Capitol building the day before the J6 terrorist attack. He was part of Trump's plan to overthrow the government. Next stop, Moscow.

@leahgreenberg.bsky.social “Tattoo it on your arm: they are losing so they are going to try to steal the election. They will lose because we will stop them.” 👏👏👏

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg has GRANTED our motion to compel in our DOGE FOIA case involving Musk's phone(s). The government must now reach out to Sean Duffy and multiple Republican Senators to comply. www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-j...

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the proposed level of cooperation between Minnesota county sheriffs and ICE is a violation of state law.

Virginia did NOT start this, but we are going to finish it. We must to TURN OUT AND VOTE YES for our Redistricting Amendment on Tuesday, April 21. #virginia #vote #redistricting

EXCLUSIVE: on Jan 22 we rolled up on a raid happening in South Minneapolis. we had no idea who they were taking. turns out it was a *two year old girl* and her dad on the way back from buying fruit. he had no criminal record. this is their story. youtu.be/yaeXlxJOAXU?...

@cjtrowbridge.com , it’s exactly what you’ve been talking about.

one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

When you're so coked up and stupid you put the scope on backwards:

I am hosting a town hall on Saturday with @wyden.senate.gov. Come out to Linn-Benton Community College and tell us what’s on your mind.

Alex Pretti's murder struck a nerve in the health care community, not just as a tragic loss of one of their own but as emblematic of the dangers facing workers and the moral basis of medicine itself. @joelleabirached.bsky.social www.bostonreview.net/articles/occ...

Gestapos opened fire, striking Martinez 5 times in the arm, chest & both legs 1 gestapo had body cam ... Martinez has said in court that it shows an officer shouting "do something b--" The gestapo who shot her, in a group text: "I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys."

This is the backlash effect. Repression and overt cruelty backfire when decent people refuse to accept Stephen Miller's monstrous Nazi vision for this country.

When he's dead Evangelicals will go back to pretending they cared about the morality of politicians and I'm telling you it will be the most shameless shit you've ever seen

Phil 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Eph 4:2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Matt 7:23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

As Trump personally profits from a $500M UAE investment in his crypto firm, his admin has undermined export controls on advanced AI chips —a giant conflict of interest that represents a direct threat to U.S. national security and our edge over strategic rivals. Trump gets richer. America gets weaker

As terrible as what is happening right now to journalism, we actually should dismantle the romantic myths we have of the press in America. I teach in my class about colonial press censorship, and then how the independent press was a tool for the wealthy, white power holders to maintain dominance.

Sometimes the world feels like so much, and you stay up until 2:30 to finish a novel that makes you feel even more. So much more. This was heartbreaking and beautiful and I'm so glad I read it.

I mean...cult leaders and malignant narcissists rarely plan for their own mortality and can't bear the thought of a successor.
