A favorite photo from Mount Auburn Cemetery in Watertown and Cambridge, Massachusetts. This photo was taken on a gorgeous summer afternoon in August 2023.

Less than 11 months ago, we had a Democratic President who passed many sensible policies - including gun violence prevention measures to protect Americans. I miss those days. 💔

This image is a stylized poster featuring a frog wearing an American flag-themed bandana and the word "HOP" below it. The style is reminiscent of vintage propaganda posters, such as the famous "Hope" poster for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.

Not reposting the nonsense from the right about how Saturday's march is ANTI-AMERICAN! SOROS-FUNDED!

What they're saying is so nonsensical that it reeks of desperation.

They're scared of a simple display of mass opposition.

Bring your American flags, folks.
It's a pro-America, pro-democracy march

Breaking News: Brown University became the second college to reject a White House deal offering preferential treatment for federal grants.

Brown University Rejects White House Deal for Special Treatment

Brown was the second university to turn down the deal, which would have given a funding preference to universities that agreed to certain requirements.

What else to expect when the president (so called) is a rogue with no education, no manners, just disrespectful in any matters?

ONCE YOU TOLERATE DISRESPECT IN ANY FORM, IT BECOMES A PATTERN.

Tomorrow is a critical day for democracy in court. Compare how the Washington Post framed it vs Democracy Docket.

Right now, fearless, pro-democracy media is more important than legacy media platitudes. Sign up now to say informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

At this point, I'd be shocked if a Republican didn't have a swastika flag

@rooster_ohio on x

A friend in DC had a Zoom call with Congressman Dave Taylor's office today... Taylor's legislative correspondent, Angelo Elia, had what can only be described as an American swastika flag prominently displayed in his background.

a pic of angelo elia's online page and then a pic of a guy with a us flag with the nazi swastika in the center of it

China is so far ahead of us technologically...just look at their electric cars, hi-speed trains, now cutting edge cooling of data centers.

Trump is not the way to the future.

Honest to God:

I thought this serious question was settled long ago in McCormack v. Powell. Which makes me wonder why Democrats aren't compelling a judge to order Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva's being seated as a member of Congress.

God @thegodpodcast.com · 8d

Serious question:
What can be done to stop the Speaker from just not swearing in a Congress person? God is no legal expert but it sounds unconstitutional!
