This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”
Really listen to it.

My mother grew up in Birmingham, AL. Upon seeing this at her local Target, she said something that stopped me in my tracks:
“Not even Bull Connor did this kind of foolishness.”

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

The destruction of NATO from the inside.
Some European officials suspect this is the real aim of the hardline MAGA faction. Since Congress won't allow Trump to exit NATO, occupying Greenland could force the Europeans to. If Trump wants to end NATO , this might be the most convenient way to do it.

Happy January 6th. We get what we deserve. 29% of the eligible adult voters decided for us... many of us couldn't be bothered to vote and a bunch of us somehow decided Trump would be good for egg prices. Congrats, nice decision. Elections matter. #2024PresidentialElection

He wants to get out of NATO and this is his way.
He gets to distract from his pedophile past in the process. Move the doomsday clock ahead. This is fucking ridiculous but it's what you get when you vote for a dangerous narcissist. WTF were you thinking? #Greenland #WW3 #NATO #Anschluss #Venezuela

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

Trump’s size obsession has put him at odds with the architect, who reportedly argues the 90,000 sq. ft. ballroom would overshadow the 55,000 sq. ft. White House, violating basic architectural principles.
It's, ultimately, another illustration of crumbling checks and balances trib.al/zYiFK4m

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
