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

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

Even The Guardian couldn’t miss it: from inflatable chickens to roaring crowds in ruby-red towns, America roared: we don’t do kings here.

Republicans stayed quiet while democracy showed up in the streets.🔥

Republicans mostly silent as millions of Americans protest Trump on No Kings day

Outside of typical remarks from Donald Trump, JD Vance and Mike Johnson and a Fox News report, party stayed mum

Protesting today sends the message that the majority of the people do not support tyranny and the destruction of our democracy. It shows that Nazis, fascists, and their enablers that they are FAR outnumbered by the people of this country who LOVE their neighbors and will stand up for democracy.

Apparently, the testimony of 40 minors was not enough to convince then U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta (later a Trump appointee) to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein.

This is one of the biggest cover-ups of our generation.

Crazy to think that 5 years in, some people still think “asymptomatic = not contagious.”

It’s been known since early 2020 that people without symptoms can spread COVID very efficiently.🦠😷

smokey mcbongwater @themaggieshow_

so i’m starting to suspect that people think that asymptomatic=not contagious and i just wanna know how we got here as a society

They don't think they're public servants.

They think they're kings, princes, dukes, and barons. They control the government, and that makes them royalty, and that means our money should be used to buy them planes and gold-plated toys and gilded ballrooms

I routinely see people get mad at others who remind them to wear masks in public as though we're the ones causing them problems. In reality, Long COVID is a pretty awful thing a lot of us are trying to save you from the worst effects of it. Their outbursts sound like kids who're big mad at seatbelts

Ladies, your forbearers would like a word with you. The #CupOfJoe that they’ve served for years is full of fire. Don’t stay silent. Your rights are on the line. Don’t let what we fought for die due to your complacency.

Rep. Ro Khanna: “Our push to release the Epstein files helped strip Prince Andrew of his title. Now it’s time to hold powerful Americans who covered up or abused young girls accountable. The survivors have waited long enough. Congress must vote—justice can’t wait.”
