Jane Goodall was a hero who used her life to make the world a better place. If the world uplifted and amplified people like her over fascists and billionaires, the world would be a very different place. #3E

I say this without reservation: This is the most important piece of writing you will read this year. It contextualizes what the conservative movement really is and why this moment is so utterly dangerous. Its conclusion that we will have to unmake the conservative power structure is absolute truth

Trump was actually right about something...

When reality hits.

GOP lies are coming fast now. They didn't have a clean funding bill; they refused to keep government open unless $90 million in our cash was released for *their* security details. Dems said no, we're not putting ourselves first, we're putting the working class's healthcare—which Trump trashed—first.

50 doctor who had visited Gaza were asked about children shot in the head. Most (35/50) had seen it themselves… …and some reported a single bullet to the head as being the only injury on the child.

"Feeling sick" - Most would be if they had been sentenced to 27 years and 3 months in prison- "Delay" is always a tactic the guilty and convicted fight for. Americans just watched one waltz his way into the people's WH because of "delay" #DemVoice1 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

Please support the Democrat candidate for mayor. Not sure why you haven’t already. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

The person who did all of these things was called a “tyrant…unfit to be the ruler of a free people” in 1776. Yup. Give it a read…

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law. Not. One. Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters. Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

Disgusting behavior....

Come on Utah we need to do the same. No one here wants to pay more for less. I pay 1-2 months salary in taxes - too HIGH. I pay it bc I’m a law abiding citizen but if I have to spend all my money for hc guess which bill I may ignore? I want my [email protected]

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

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

The gift that keeps on giving. Reese gives a great background and updates on this potentially, soon to be former, dentist. MAGA dummy to the end. Still justifying her words. 🙄 youtube.com/watch?v=6diC...

Mike Johnson is an absolute liar! Everything he said in this clip is a blatant lie! It should be completely illegal and there should be prison time for our elected officials knowingly lying to us!

MAGA, if you're enjoyin' Trump's racist AI videos about Hakeem Jeffries, remember this. When this is all over, Trump will still have health care, but you won't.

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Absolutely no one cast their Pres ballot thinking 🤔- gee, I hope this results in a 50 to 75% increase in my health insurance premiums. No one. Gee, I’m tired of being able to afford my insulin and I want to pay for more gold decor in the Oval office.

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

We are in so much trouble with him in leadership position. He needs to step down before there is no chance left.

Republicans will try to blame the Government Shutdown on Democrats, MAKE SURE EVERYONE on every platform & in your text circle sees this.

Both Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are absolute lunatics, but we need to take their words seriously. These are not the ramblings of madmen with no influence. They are coming from those in power. They are calling some Americans the enemy and declaring war on them. This is urgent.

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

The Democratic bill addresses the Republican healthcare crisis by reversing catastrophic healthcare cuts and permanently extending ACA tax credits. Meanwhile, Republicans would rather shut the government down than keep healthcare affordable. #DonaldTrumpsShutdown

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

#resist #notmypresident #pushback #speakupandspeakout

Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

“People make honest mistakes, and our mistakes should not define an entire career. Otherwise, we only try not to make mistakes.”

www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off... How right you are! 🤬😭

🇺🇸 #US #Army Troops being deployed to #Portland and other American cities, remember your oaths, and have the intestinal fortitude and integrity to not blindly follow unlawful orders. We join the #Military to Serve and Protect not to punish or enslave

Especially his reaction.

The Trump Tariffs are not against foreign countries. The Trump Tariffs are an assault on the U.S. consumer. Donald Trump, Econ 101 .... The U.S. is a Consumer Economy. Donald Trump, Reality 101 .... You don't have a clue.

Exhibit A at The Hague just dropped

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dccartoonist.bsky.social )

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

You forgot to mention this:

Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

If many of Trump and RFK Jr.'s talking points about acetaminophen sounded similar to the talking points they use to oppose gender-affirming care, it's because they are basically the same, @katelynburns.com writes. truthout.org/articles/ant...
