the basic problem facing american democracy is that one party has decided it wants a king and will hand over as much authority as is necessary to make that happen

Is there such a thing as a symbiotic relationship between two parasites?

Warnock: They are busy attacking ordinary people. They don’t understand what it’s like to ration your prescription drugs or what it’s like to try to figure out how to afford groceries. In the words of that prophet who just spoke at The Super Bowl: They not like us

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

I'm watching the press conference between President Macron and trump, and the President of France speaks and understands TWO languages way better than trump does, struggling with just English. It's such a colossal embarrassment having trump representing the U.S.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

This is how the world views the US. Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."

In case you took a 20-minute nap and missed it, apparently America is now going to be invading and seizing Gaza and holding it permanently according to co-president Trump, which (someone check me on this) pretty sure is unilateral war and therefore a war crime

Please repost

I'm not surprised by trump's disgustingly negative attitude about disabled people. It's who he is, and who he's always been. This should have been the end.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

There is a tuberculosis outbreak happening right now in Kansas. In 2025. There is an Ebola outbreak in Uganda. We are on the precipice of a major bird flu pandemic. What does the president do? Cuts the CDC off from collaboration with WHO. This will cost lives. www.newsweek.com/tuberculosis...

Senator Adam Schiff goes off about Kash Patel at his Senate confirmation hearing: "How did we get here?!?! Where we are defending a nominee like this, who makes songs with convicts who attack law enforcement? How did we get here?!?" 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I don’t know about you, but Malcolm Kenyatta right here makes me want to fight—to keep fighting for what we believe as Democrats. I was hollering watching this. @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social is running for DNC Vice Chair.

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night. Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar. I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below. What an immense loss

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA. There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.

Yep.

No need to imagine as we are already there.

America wouldn’t be America without immigrants!

Kash Patel wants to run the FBI – but the Senate still doesn’t have key info from the Special Counsel’s report on his testimony. We need the truth. We need transparency. The DOJ must release these materials. Now. Read my letter with @senatordurbin.bsky.social:

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Forget the JFK files — why doesn’t Trump start by releasing the Epstein files? 🤨

The joke is on us.

John Ratcliffe is a contributor to Project 2025. He is now the director of the CIA and God help us.

There is an international resistance to poison of Trump and Trumpism. We need to support them as they support us in recapturing our country from the Oligarchs #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Our 2025 Infrastructure Plan invests in:   - Clean drinking water - Modern infrastructure - Public safety - Safe and affordable housing   It’s a plan that will make Minnesota the best state to live and work.

HELL YEAH! Congressman Jim McGovern TORE Speaker Mike Johnson a new for saying it wasn’t “his place” to question Trump’s January 6 pardon. “Not your place?? WHO THE HELL’S PLACE IS IT?” He said. “How about you stand with the officers who protected you and not a reality show wannabe dictator.” 💙

"We need leaders not in love with money but in love with Justice "Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity "Leaders who can subject their particular egos to the pressing urgencies of the great cause of freedom." -MLK, Jr #MLKday #WeShallOvercome

The Internet is forever. I can't believe my own eyes.

Just a reminder to everyone who voted for trump because you wanted lower prices on shit: You ain't getting it. He admitted it. Said it's too hard. But he has ALREADY enriched himself and his wealthy friends with his and Melania's shit coins. He doesn't give a fuck about you.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and nonviolence couldn’t be more relevant today. California continues to honor his legacy by fostering unity, lifting up every voice, and building a brighter, more inclusive future for everyone.

‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’ — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On #MLKDay, we honor his legacy by choosing love over hate, justice over injustice, and hope over fear.

President Biden pardoned five members of his family in his last minutes in office. “My family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me…” “Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end.”

Trump says he will declare a "national emergency at our southern border." How many media organizatons will remind low-info American voters that the number of border crossings has been in decline for a while is now LOWER than when Trump last left office in November 2020?

Dr Martin Luther King once said “Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable…Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.” We must now all stand together in the fight for justice

With the inauguration coming at us I’m sure many of you are feelign a tumult of emotions, but there are things you can do now. I will be posting each item in the article below as a thread. This is from @emilyinyourphone.bsky.social’s substack 📖. emilyinyourphone.substack.com/p/10-practic...

What a bunch of thugs. This is going to be a shit show.

This man is a profound danger. Every American should oppose his nomination.

I don't begrudge wealthy people their stuff. There is, however, something fundamentally wrong with a society that allows children to go hungry and people to live in the streets while the wealth class owns elected officials, SC Justices, multiple mansions, yachts, and private aircraft.
