Centrist Democrats in the Senate folded on the shutdown, throwing away their leverage in exchange for worthless GOP promises. When will they learn that there is no center between a government of oligarchs and a government of the people? https://youtu.be/EQzG_TrhyrY?si=LBXGJad9NjGyBGBo

Who needs to fight a war with the US, when you can destroy it from within.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

I need more sleep than most people because everyone else is exhausting and also I am exhausting hope this helps

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

You absolutely would not want to be, or be anywhere near, any bottle of ketchup in what remains of the White House today.

“Tomorrow!” cried Toad. “I will do it all tomorrow!”

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Day 36 of the #GOPShitdown and ManBaby Pedofuhrer officially holds the record for both of the longest government shutdowns in our history. Congrats. Just let last night’s election results be a harbinger of things to come. We will outlast you. We will survive you. We will hold the fucking line. ✊✊✊

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

The only time change I'm interested in is when it's time to change the President.

It’s insane to me that not only did many people choose to send an evil vindictive tyrannical convicted felon back into office with full power of the govt, but they sent him knowing he would spend every day ensuring that all of us suffer and die instead of thrive and live.

Toad wrote on a piece of paper: A LIST OF THINGS TO DO TODAY. Then he wrote: WAKE UP

The conflation of bad character and a lack of integrity with mental illness is very harmful and stigmatizing. Trump and co. appear to have personality disorders such as narcissism and psychopathy. Hannah Arendt’s concept of the banality of evil means ordinary people can do monstrous things.

I wonder if SNAP recipients who voted for Trump and continue to support him are waking up this morning to the realization of what they've done.

“This house is a mess. I have so much work to do,” said Toad. Frog looked through the window. “Toad, you are right,” said Frog. “It is a mess.” Toad pulled the covers over his head.

As we hit Day 31 of this Republican government shutdown, I wanted to put a few websites here that can serve as resources (some of which are regionally specific) to those in need and those who want to help: feedingamerica.org/find… cityharvest.org foodrecoverynetwork.org

I said it before, and I'll say it again, elect a rapist expect to be fucked.

Isn’t it wild that you can simply ask, ‘Is he dead yet?’ and everyone knows who you’re talking about.

In other news I have also shut down because I am underfunded

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

State of play: King (Maine), Cortez-Masto (Nevada), and Fetterman (Asshole) caved. GOP will look for more on the next vote. Top targets are the others who caved in March: Schatz (HI) Durbin (IL) Gillibrand & Schumer (NY) Hassan & Shaheen (NH) Peters (MI) Keep an eye on Warner/Kaine in Virginia too.

🚨🚨🚨 SHUTDOWN INFO: SSA is open and functioning (mostly)!!!! You should not miss payments you are expecting, if you do, please let us know. Field Offices and phones are open and staffed!!!! Here is the list of things we are not allowed to process during the shutdown so please don’t yell at us for it!

People seem pretty damned proud of their psychoses these days

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Stop the scapegoating and start dealing with America’s real gun crisis. HOMEGROWN‼️

When you sell a man a book you don't sell just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humour and ships at sea by night - there's all heaven and earth in a book, a real book. -Christopher Morley

I do not desire the patience or grace to entertain conversations with people who like to argue against my humanity. But by all means do you.

Surely we're only like 100 more thoughts and prayers away from ending gun violence. Its going to pay off any day now.

Never forget that Trump ran for president to stay out of prison. Since inauguration day, he's set out to enact revenge on those be believes wronged him.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Not every day you meet the iconic comedian behind the world's most famous joke

Congress died the moment they allowed 147 insurrectionists to remain in office instead of expelling them and charging them with sedition. That’s just my opinion.

Trump can’t stand to be humiliated. This is what's driving his dictatorial moves. But he will overreach. He already has. And this overreach will ultimately be his undoing. As long as we keep our heads — and engage in peaceful civil disobedience. Be strong. Be safe.

Yes, confidence is attractive unless, and this is so important, unless you are also very obviously an idiot
