NO DMs! Lifelong moderate Democrat. No matter what happens the next 4 years, we can have love and community. “In a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.” Maya Angelou

The brand new GOP position this morning, apparently, is that old white people suck. I kid you not. #NoKings

🥴🤡Trump envoy Witkoff pressed the Ukrainian delegation on handing over Donetsk region to Russia during a meeting on Friday, - WP.

He used the Kremlin's key argument that the region is predominantly Russian-speaking.

Read This: "MTG Pauses MAGA Civil War to Peddle Conspiracy Theory About Weather"
Call me crazy but is she talking about chemtrails? I thought even the lunatic fringe gave up on that conspiracy theory.😳 Woke MTG was almost inspiring while it lasted.

Best definition of insanity: doing their same thing over and over, expecting a different result. We now have an insane president; perhaps we should do something different and produce a sane result.

Truth! The collective noun for frogs is army. Someone should tell ill-tempered Jesse Watters, who described today’s protest as Dems “trying to do their little Tea Party thing,” that the overseas No Kings protests alone could far outnumber his vaunted series of Tea Party protests. In one day.

Do you know what a group of frogs is called?

i thought Ezra Levin, one of the organizers of the No Kings gatherings, made such an important profound point yesterday. He said, "Our enemy here is not Trump, our enemy is fatalism and nihilism and cynicism."
Once you give up your power, the authoritarian wins.

Federal resources aren’t campaign tools. Secretary Kristi Noem's new TSA video crosses the line, violating the Hatch Act with blatant political messaging.

We’re urging California airports to stand firm against this unlawful federal pressure and refrain from airing the video.
