He/him. Social Justice Warrior in a very, very unjust world. The point of politics is not to make more money for rich people. The point of politics is to make life better for the people who do. It’s probably time for me to unfollow a couple of people.

“And another thing: I’m not mad. Please don’t put in the newspaper that I got mad.”
That AI slop is like a story a 3-year-old makes up when they get mad at another toddler: "Then I put on my crown and get into my airplane. It says on the side that I'm the king. I fly up so high over the stupid people. I throw poop down all over the mean people. They cry and cry, but I just laugh."

I know Donald Trump is a pathological liar, malignant narcissistic sociopath, racist, antisemite, misogynist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, hater of our troops and believer in euthanizing folks with disabilities, but we too often forget that he's *also* an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.

Remember, everyone, that today is a day of JOY! A CELEBRATION of our devotion to democracy, freedom, and justice.
Don’t let anyone steal your joy today. And don’t get down about the shitstorm of hate and lies they spew.
This is a LOVE AMERICA RALLY.

And they WILL hear us.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.
Amen.
Donald,

We are not afraid of you, because even with the greatest seat of power, you are a spectacularly small man.

We are not afraid of you because you are not worthy of our fear; because that would mean respecting you—and we do not.

I’m confident this will be a blunder on their part. They underestimate how much effect pardoning GM will have; she’s undeniably guilty even in the minds of the most culted MAGAs. Pardoning her will open cracks they can’t close with their ham-handed lies.
Definitely seems like the "plan" is to pardon her before the House can vote to release the files. But the Senate will defeat it anyway? Always "delay" and then, when that can't work, preemptively release bad stuff with some distortion. But yeah, Trump's going to pardon the worst child rapist alive.
The Santos commutation is a prelude to a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon.

Mark my words.
The MAIN STORY and especially the LEDE of every major news story on the Trump-Zelensky meeting SHOULD be how full of lies his comments were, and how he is obviously unwell.
That they are not loudly telling these truths is evidence of malpractice on the part of our news media.

Just a reminder that Antifa is not a real organization but the Proud Boys are. The Oath Keepers are. Patriot Front is. The KKK is. Anyway, enjoy your day.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”
Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Remember as you protest tomorrow, your phone can be used to track and and identify you.

Your car license plate can be used to trace and identify you.

If filming, don't capture protestor's faces with their consent and Don just post it online without blurring them out first.

This elderly, white hippy loves his country enough to protest its leaders when they become a lawless regime.
Amazing changes can happen in a mere couple of months.

The Trump regime's lies about No Kings protests are getting more desperate and inflammatory as the White House gets more scared of the power of the people.
Right now it’s brown people whose citizenship is in some question.
Soon, it will be “anyone who dissents from the king.”
Soon.
No Kings. Go.

Republicans — speaking for the White House — called the entire Democratic voting base terrorists yesterday and no more than a handful of Democrats bothered to say anything about it.

The president of the United States has said *multiole times* that he hates Americans who are democrats. That is a FUCKING HUGE SCANDAL. Nobody will treat it as one.
this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press
Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."
Part of the Republican ethos is maintaining the charade that “everyone” agrees with them, and anyone who doesn’t is the enemy, but it’s such a small number they can be ignored. Saturday’s No Kings rallies will be so large it may bust that charade.
It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities?

If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.
