💯to this! If that doesn’t work they should come in with huge printed poster boards with info & have colleagues hold them up while they are asking tragic Mike questions
A vote for Cuomo is now also a vote for the Trump, Musk & Miller 😂

New — Andrew Cuomo hung up in the middle of a radio interview today, after the hosts pressed him on Donald Trump expressing support for him
Teen Vogue fired all their black & trans staffers today & won’t cover politics anymore

Make no mistake, the 4th Estate Is actively under attack

What threats did they get from Trump I wonder?

#Resist Cancel ur CondeNast subscriptions (except wired) & cite Teen Vogue as your reason
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

No one in our community should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. If you or someone you know needs support, call any of these organizations, ready to lend a helping hand…and please support them in your giving!
bare naked cruelty laid out by the #Trump administration in their war on Americans. To send something like this shows they want maximum cruelty to be their norm
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
Another way to #Resist Trump & his authoritarianism is to VOTE! If you are in CA vote #YesOn50 to get some checks and balances back to our government!

Since Greg Abbott made Houston remove the rainbow crosswalk. Rainbows are being painted on homes and businesses all over the city.
So fresh milk, raw or pasteurized shouldn’t have a “tangy” smell or taste…dude definitely drank sour, spoilt milk 🤮
Fun Fact: there was no real “Lincoln Era Bathroom Aesthetic“ because in the 1860’s people didn’t have indoor plumbing as a general rule
Art deco bathrooms are a style, because the time period lines up with most people getting indoor plumbing
Yet again, Trump shows he is stupid and has no style sense
Indy, still fighting those Nazis!

“Ford, a longtime environmental advocate, said Trump’s dislike of wind turbines was because “he has just not seen a gold one” and that the president’s legacy on the climate crisis would be “a clear expression of ignorance, of hubris and purposeful subterfuge”
Sounds like the writer of this op ed doesn’t know what prop 50 is about.
It’s temporary redistricting & only enacts if approved by voter.
There are increasingly fewer tools to fight trumps Authoritarianism
Vote Yes on 50
@theguardian.com you know what’s at stake here! Shame on U for posting this!
does she have sofas in her family tree? Maybe she is 1/4th or 1/8th couch?
Straight up! The constitution isn’t a WORD GAME where language can just be abused
22nd amendment is clear
ONLY 2 terms as president

The arguments over whether Trump is already a dictator seem to miss a key point: He thinks he's a dictator and no one is disabusing him of the notion.
Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?

TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want
Neighbor of JD Vance, “pardon my French, but you‘re an Asshole!”
JD Vance, “I shouldn’t have to live next to people who don’t speak English!”
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do
people can #RESIST by simply being brave and asking a question in public to a slimy 🛋️fkr
A brave young woman asks JD Vance: “When you talk about too many immigrants here, when did you guys decide that number? Why did you sell us a dream? You gave us the path and now tell us we don't belong here? Why do you have to be Christian to be American?”

This weekend, we turn our clocks back an hour.

The Trump administration, however, has already turned its collective clocks back to the Jim Crow era,
One way to #resist the trump regime is to CALL YOUR REPS
Of particular importance is to non stop barrage your reps in republican areas and say that you don’t want to pay 114% more for your health insurance because they ❤️ billionaire.
If you have a Dem Rep, call and thank them for fighting for you!
You work too hard to pay more for healthcare because of Republican games.
JD Vance - a straight up unlikeable creep with unlikeable creepy racist views. Also non consensually “loves” couches…
JD Vance, the second most powerful person in the country, makes a flatly racist comment about immigrants and barely any mainstream news orgs are writing about it? Kudos to my employer, USA TODAY, for unflinchingly allowing me to share my views.

Vance seems to think segregation is 'acceptable' if neighbors don't speak English | Opinion
Vice President JD Vance has added a flatly segregationist twist to his broadly unlikable personality.

And these crazy price hikes (eg 7k more a year plus 7k deductible) on average people’s insurance plans is the REASON the Dems are still holding out. How can responsible humans vote for something that financially decimates so many households while giving tax breaks to billionaire!!

"Ms. Monahan, 61, paid $439 a month for her coverage in 2025.

When she went to shop for next year’s plan, she learned that the monthly cost would jump to $1,059 for the same plan with an annual deductible of $7,100..."

Thanks, GOP congress! Thanks, Trump!

Cuomo says he’ll move to Florida if Mamdani becomes mayor. Mamdani isn’t even mayor yet, and he’s already driving out the criminals!
