We don’t hate America.

We hate what Trump is doing to it.

Stupid, Ignorant, Uninformed, And Corrupt….

Trump: "We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting." He's right – except for the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Canada, India, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Russia, and 22 other countries.

Reminder: If Trump and Republicans actually cared about quality of life and safety in DC, they wouldn’t have rammed through a CR in March that slashed $1 billion from the city’s budget.

And Democrats don’t get a pass—Chuck Schumer voted for it right alongside them.

Democrats Urged to Bow Down to Tech Fascism.

As Trump and Silicon Valley robber barons dismantle US democracy, some Democratic consultants have a strange solution: surrender.

just like you guys, i put my pants on one leg at a time, leaning against a wall, losing my balance, falling to my knees, yelling “FUCK”, rolling over onto my butt, turning back onto my knees, trying to get back up, grabbing the TV stand for support, attempting to catch the TV, yelling “FUCK” again,

Transparency. Accountability. Oversight. That is what we need from this administration.

They said they’d go after the worst of the worst, but common sense and the data shows that’s not who they are detaining.

thread you must read:
I’m sorry for the long post but a lot of you have followed me for a long time, since 2016 when I was one of the first to repeatedly call out Trump for being a Russian asset.

I don’t know how else to say this, as a person who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it) and totalitarian states.

Oh sure...our democracy is being replaced by a fascist dictatorship, tens of millions of people will lose their healthcare, a concentration camp just opened in FL, and there's talk of deporting citizens...but thank goodness we don't have a smart woman who demonstrated joy and compassion in office.

Rereading Orwell's 1984. If you have yet to read it, I urge you to do so ASAP. In particular, read chapter 9 of part 2. #chilling #MakeOrwellFictionAgain

Congress passed a law to help poor people access quality healthcare providers of their choice yet the Republicans on the Supreme Court just ruled in Medina v. Planned Parenthood that people can't sue when states break the law, as if Congress was just kidding

The Supreme Court Is Helping Republicans Win Their War On Planned Parenthood
The Court's opinion in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic is awful not only for Medicaid patients, but also for millions of other people whose legal rights just got less safe.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I remember.
Some people aren't old enough to remember endless debate in Congress about going to war with Iraq after 9/11. Endless. Because Congress had a say so. Because we had a Constitution. Yeah, fun times, then. Now one dude with dementia and a small dick complex just decides for himself.
