leading with empathy in a world where apathy is rapidly becoming the “normal” is one of the bravest things you can do. 💜👏🏻

Quick question. Why does literally everything require you to have an account.

Everything.

Was it that joyful picture of Obama and Sunny running down that corridor?

Maybe they're realizing that decorum is a suicide pact when the other side has flamethrowers. "When they go low, we go high" just means you lose. It's past time for Democrats to grow a spine and fight like their democracy depends on it. Because it does.

IDGAF about that house.
I care about the millions of people who will face life with limited health insurance. I care about people going hungry because of cuts to Snap and other safety nets.
I care about people losing the roofs over their heads.
That house is tainted beyond salvation. Let it fall.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

This isnt a lot of $ for an oil change these days. My son drives around in a 20+year old Camry.
It has under 150k on odometer.
You better believe 120 is a steal for something he wants to to keep as long as possible.
No high interest car loans for him.

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

People who walk out of fancy coffee shops with a 10$ cup but won't drop a few coins in the cup of someone asking for spare change.

Not gonna lie. I had this mindset for a long time. I'm getting better at not thinking that way.
Still have moments but they are shortlived.

In addition to all the grandmas and normies at No Kings I was very happy to see a lot of Columbus' venerable benign weirdos. Bagpipes guy. One of those dudes with hundreds of action figures glued to his 1994 Saturn SL3. Those kinds of folks.

Weirdos are an important part of the municipal fabric.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

All these massive numbers are wonderful. All the small protests in small towns across the nation are amazing. They are giving me hope. Bravo Bravo Bravo to each and everyone of you true blue lovers of America.

On Jan 6 in DC, ~2500 MAGAs violently protested. DC police reported 174 police injuries, 9 deaths, & 1500+ criminal convictions.

On Oct 18 in NYC, ~100K Americans peacefully protested. NYPD reports 0 injuries, 0 deaths, & 0 arrests.

FACT—Right wing violence remains America’s biggest terror threat.
