You're reporting so casually that a written memorandum take precedent over The Constitution. As if it is his authority. REPORT THE DAMN NEWS AS IT IS!

#OrphanCrushingMachine

Every heartwarming human interest story in america is like "he raised $20,000 to keep 200 orphans from being crushed in the orphan-crushing machine" and then never asks why an orphan-crushing machine exists or why you'd need to pay to prevent it from being used.

If you define anthropomorphic as "having human characteristics" I would say most humans qualify, no matter what they are wearing or how they dye their hair.

I'm more concerned about the Republican Administration lacking some basic human characteristics, like Empathy, Honesty, and Agreeableness.

These efforts need to grow into a multi-state public option to provide affordable universal health care to fill the gap left by a dysfunctional and inhumane federal government. We need to build the America we want where we can build it, and invite the rest of America to join us or follow our lead.

It's not just the earth that would heal if corn (syrup) subsidies ended.

Jess Piper @piperformissouri.bsky.social · 1d

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

And combating that kind of business fraud would require oversight, which is exactly why the Republican administration has gutted that in all kinds of institutions.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

I really wish that the majority of Christians would find a way to clearly delineate themselves from that political cult that is christo-fascism.

If we made Donald a pretend-King, like in Sweden, that might be a worthwhile sacrifice.

"Sweden's king has no political power. His tasks are solely symbolic and representative. The king represents and promotes Sweden in many ways."

Millions came out for the last #NoKings protests.

These will be even bigger.

They want to scare people into not showing up.

Show up. Exercise your Constitutional rights. Be in community with all those who believe in democracy.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.
