JUST IN: Comey moves to dismiss the indictment against him for vindictive/selective prosecution, arguing that the prosecution stems directly form Trump's overt personal animus toward him and calls to put him in prison. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Each day we get sucked deeper and deeper into another quagmire by the “America First” administration. But at least we got Kushner and Witkoff to work everything out.

It’s super alpha to get all angry about protests and post AI videos of yourself dropping feces on America because you can’t handle your emotions, oh and wearing an oxygen mask like a douche helmet because you’re a fatso

I’m at the Sagamore Bridge to call out Donald Trump’s threats to illegally withhold federal funding to replace the Cape Cod Bridges. We will not back down.

The AI video Trump posted of himself dumping shit all over America from a plane was metaphorically the most accurate piece of propaganda he’s put out this year.

Holy crap. I missed this.
I think a General Strike is an excellent option to end this but I haven’t heard any political figure call for it. It’s a bold move.
I think a good move.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Literally the Republicans are keeping government closed because they are that against making healthcare affordable. That’s jacked up

(🧵) I’m going to say some things that may cost me followers. That’s only appropriate, given that what I say in this thread is about exactly that: how utterly meaningless everything is right now besides saving America—because without rule of law and democracy, nothing we dream of will ever come true.

Genuinely least self-aware motherfucker in Washington.

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him:
...I ran into everybody in NY. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew

Cleve Jones gave a riveting, rousing speech at San Francisco's No Kings rally yesterday, and he's graciously allowing me to publish it. He began: "The pronouns I use the most are the ones probably understood the least by those in the White House today. They are WE, US and OURS."

I can’t promise you’ll always agree with me or like what I have to say, but unlike legacy media, I can promise you I’ll always be honest and never trade truth for access.

The No Kings protests were fantastic

But we have to keep going

Because Trump’s fascism will never stop-as evidenced by the fact that his ICE thugs tear gassed protesters in Portland last night-and we can’t let him win

Stay engaged, my friends

We have a country to save

Officers repeatedly used tear gas and pepper spray Saturday night on the crowd of hundreds outside an ICE facility in Portland, Oregon. Camilo Montoya-Galvez is there with the latest.

AFTER THE AIR CRAP ONE VIDEO can we finally get Trump committed to a psychiatric facility now?

Media ignores his madness, his perfect imagery (I, TRUMP, ONLY WANT TO DUMP ON AMERICA) and the 7 million of No Kings

Warren: The only movement these Republicans can manage is bowing down to Trump. When you ask them about today, they claim the No Kings Rally is anti-American. They’re wrong. Hundreds of thousands of people protesting peacefully for what they believe in—that is deeply American. That is patriotism.
