instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

“AMERICA FIRST!” He says as he demolishes the White House, sends $40b to Argentina, lets Qatar build a military base in the Midwest, and finagles $250m out of the DOJ to his personal bank account.

Yup.
the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

Next time someone tells you democrats are responsible for the shutdown, say the following in a calm, collected tone:
- Democrats are fighting for millions of Americans to not lose their healthcare
- Republicans are threatening to hurt more Americans if Democrats don’t cave
Enunciate the big words

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.

Acts of political violence aren’t acceptable. Non-political school shootings aren’t acceptable. Sacking the legislature isn’t acceptable. Military occupation of peaceful American cities isn’t acceptable. Abductions conducted in courthouse hallways by masked agents of the state aren’t acceptable.

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.

That Man is going to announce the Kennedy Center Honors list today, & it's going to have some profoundly idiotic/outrageous choices (by design). Let's refuse to play his distraction game by retweeting or even discussing it. There's REAL 💩 to focus on; keep your eye on the Epstein list, not this one.
