My husband proposed to me on this boat 20 years ago, I would love if they could give it a new life but those are some overwhelming issues. I appreciate the dream though!

Citizens' Impeachment @citizensimpeachment.com · 2d

The *how* of #NoKings is impeachment.

Don't just say No Kings. Say how to get there.

Impeach, convict, remove.

The reason gullible people believe all protesters are paid is because they can't conceive of anyone giving a shit about anyone other than themselves.

It’s impossible to imagine a right-wing equivalent to large, nationwide rallies like No Kings. It’s nice to remember that we have numbers.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

KATHY HOCHUL, ARREST THE GESTAPO FOR STATE LEVEL FELONIES AND I WILL BE YOUR STRONGER SOLDIER

Till Eckert @tilleckert.com · 20d

8/ Governor Kathy Hochul just posted this statement on X.

Masked ICE agents shoved and injured journalists today at Federal Plaza. One reporter left on a stretcher.

This abuse of law-abiding immigrants and the reporters telling their stories must end.

What the hell are we doing here?

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

OMB Director Russell Voight says that US DOT will announce that the federal government is "pausing" funding for both Gateway and the Second Avenue Subway because of "unconstitutional DEI principles" -- x.com/russvought/s...

Mamdani: "What we have built in this city is also an indication of what politics can be. After the November election, we heard that young people were leaving the Democratic Party, they were getting disinterested in politics. And we built a campaign where we said, what if we treated them w/ respect?"

I’m worried that going with healthcare as the tentpole rather than this was a big mistake.

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law.

Not. One.

Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters.

Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

I guess my point here is that MAGA has become totally unashamed to admit that they are racist, but somehow the rest of society has become ashamed to call them racist. Which gives them this incredible advantage of being able to express openly racist ideas and never be called on it

Ask Matt Walsh what the Founders and the first oh 200 years of America thought about Catholics. Total bigoted dumbass. Shame that Dearborn Michigan sided with him in protest.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Carney: We are both undertaking massive transformations of our economies. Plan Mexico, Canada strong. Our efforts will be strengthened by working together. As President Sheinbaum said at the G7 summit — and I quote — “In an interdependent world, no country can isolate itself.”

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.
