Karoline Leavitt should resign.

They try to make us hate each other to distract from the fact that they're robbing us all blind.

It's sick.
Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."

Fellow scientists — I want to see you all in the street on the 18th!!

This is existential. Keep up the fight for science, democracy, and truth.

No Kings!
And if this bothers you as much as it bothers me, please find the nearest #NoKings protest and join in solidarity.

We are meant to have checks on the power of the president and if Congress and the Court won't do it, the people must: www.nokings.org

Seriously, most Real Men (tm) will find it revolting that armor-clad masked federal agents beat and kidnap women while shooting pepper balls at pastors. You just have to show them that's what's going on.
ICE's military raids and masked kidnappings are resonating deeply/negatively in the cultural spaces we keep hearing Dems need to reach: Manosphere, Joe Rogan, country music, disengaged voters. That's rare and it gives Dems a big opening to engage.

Thoughts on this:

If you're the Dems and you were scared of immigration as a topic before, I might try making it an issue now that masked goons are beating the shit out of innocent people in the streets on a daily basis. A lot of people are probably not down with this whatever their views on immigration are

Just going to keep pointing out that they're openly asserting that they think any criticism of the president is tantamount to "hating America" which is, itself, an insult to American values.
Barrasso on No Kings: "They have this big 'I Hate America' rally this Saturday in Washington where you have all these far-left activists groups coming to protest the president and the administration."
“I’m going to sabotage my relationship because my wife makes more money than me.”

I just cannot begin to comprehend this thought process.
What if we taught boys and men their self-worth was intrinsic to their basic human dignity and decency, instead of their income, relationship status, or if they’ve had sex?

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

They’re scared of protest, they’re scared of humor, they’re scared of ridicule. They’re just plain scared.

They’re not doing this because they’re strong. They’re doing it because they’re weak.

How do you do, fellow state senators, GOP attorneys, and balding, 31-year-old Hitler enthusiasts?

Trump: "Somebody said, 'would we think about taking the World Cup away from Boston if they don't straighten it out?' The answer is yes. We have the right to do that with FIFA. So if we think that LA is gonna be bad, or that applies a little bit to the Olympics too."

You know, to paraphrase @kenwhite.bsky.social , if you joke about some things, it’s kind of like ‘ironically’ fucking a goat.

Sure, you may say it’s for irony or performance art or to be provocative or whatever, but at the end of the day, you’re still balls deep in a goat.
JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.
