My husband was walking in a park today and saw a woman with a hat that said “F*** T****” (literally, with the stars). He told her he liked it, and she said she’s a Republican, and she wants all her Republican friends to know how much she hates Trump.
That brightened our day.

If you've already called your reps about the shutdown, tariffs, Epstein files, ICE raids, etc. and feel like they aren't listening, try giving them another round of calls now. They may be thinking a bit differently after those election results...

Here’s the message I left my GOP legislators today:
“Last night’s election results should send you a clear message: When we said no kings, we meant it. Stop bowing to Trump and do your job.”
Call yours, and let them know that last night was just the beginning.

1. Our nuclear modernization started under Obama.
2. The only significant nuclear expansion under Trump was the low-yield W76 mod 2 submarine launched ballistic missile.
3. Testing nukes is fucking stupid. We don’t need to do it.

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.
These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

The "pro-weed" gun case is a trap for lefties. Yes, it's hypocritcal to take away guns from people who use weed, but not people who abuse alcohol. But the way to deal with that is to DECRIMINALIZE WEED, not expand gun rights.

The case, which proposes expanding gun access to drug users, is not an opportunity—it‘s a trap.

Last week, a federal judge ordered immigration agents in Chicago to use body-cams: "That is not a suggestion."
Yesterday, agents stopped a state lawmaker and *pointed a gun at him*
They had body-cams -- that weren't on
I know b/c the cameras have a blinking light when on. These weren't flashing
