What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

🔥 @adammockler.com : “Trump wants to act like a monarch that gets gifts. FIFA just cashed in on that. They realized they can placate him. It’s humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child. It should scare everybody who cares about the constitution.”

The whole world is being held hostage by a monkey with a flamethrower. And no-one’s sure they can get it off him before he presses the flame on button, so they’re just throwing bananas at him to keep him happy.
It’s astounding.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

The biggest hypocrites!
Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk.

Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.

Look at the response from Democratic political officials on the Left when someone on the Right is shot vs the response from Republican political officials when someone on the Left is shot. Tells you everything you need to know about them.

If MAGA wants to return to the scene of the crime, we’ll just tell the truth. Trump incited a violent mob on January 6, 2021 to block the peaceful transfer of power after he lost the election 306-232 and failed in 60 federal and state court lawsuits.

Sounds like something an abuser of women would say
Trump claims crime is down to "virtually nothing" in DC & adds the crimes that are happening are "much lesser things. Things that take place in the home they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight w/the wife they say 'this is a crime. See?'"

Chicagoans are preparing a rapid-response protest in case Trump deploys the National Guard. If troops arrive before 3pm, it triggers a same-day 5pm protest. If after 3pm, they’ll meet at 5pm the next day. This is a great blueprint for every city Trump threatens.

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

Donald Trump's half-baked decision to hijack the California National Guard into his own domestic police force to terrorize people in the LA area was never about public safety.

It was only about dictatorial power and his political propaganda.

All. Of. This!!
Just a reminder that when it was convenient to pile on former Pres Biden’s health, a few of us didn’t choose the easy path and we calmly stated what we saw, while others scored political points.

With the current President clearly aging, remember to trust those who call it as they see it.
