At this point in history, I don’t actually mind of parliament wastes a bit of time stripping a Duke of every last damn molecule of privilege and dignity to show that abuse of young women comes at a cost.

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.

It is not normal for a US president to post disgusting videos about how much he hates Americans

Good morning everyone!

Those who attended yesterday’s rallies were happy warriors. Peaceful, joyful. I came home with an emotional high.

But now we have to tend to the hard work of actually saving our freedoms. Of stopping the tyranny. Of ensuring that the next elections are fair.
No Kings!

IJWTS that as an old white woman, I kinda resent the number of people that are trying to say that I don't count. Lord knows, y'all didn't think I counted when I was young. I gotta think that you just don't want to count me.

My dudes, I vote! I donate! And, I promise you, I matter.

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him:
...l ran into everybody in NY. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew
-- O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house."

On Saturday a tip from a follower led friends of Central Park's Lost Budgerigar to nearby Morningside Park where we saw what most probably is her, looking and behaving as usual, and seeming to be in good health as she foraged peacefully. 🦜 💛

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons
