Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

Thou shalt not let people be murdered at home for their political beliefs and just “move on.” Thou shalt not let children be murdered at school for trying to learn and just “move on.” Thou shalt never stop fighting to make these horrors end.

America deserves so much better than an elderly pedophile wannabe dictator. 🍊 🌮 💩 #OperationEpstein
ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.
When you spent $25 million on your birthday party but the tanks were old and the clown wasn’t funny and the taco bowls didn’t have enough cheese and all the cool kids went to a different party.

In a public letter, hundreds of scientists expressed their dissent to the Trump administration's policies affecting the National Institutes of Health and called on its director to support the agency.

I called for an independent investigation into Donald Trump's dismantling of the Department of Education, and now, it's happening. This investigation will reveal what's at stake for families. While Trump and Musk side with billionaires, I'll side with our kids.
Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, in a letter shared with members, has requested a one-on-one debate on the House floor with Speaker Mike Johnson on the budget.
It was a great day to protest in Lansing, Michigan! #HandsOff

The dissent is blunt: "Changing the rules by which these lawful voters took part in our electoral process after the election to discard their otherwise valid votes in an attempt to alter the outcome of only one race among many on the ballot is directly counter to law, equity, and the Constitution."
Thank you! We appreciate what you’re doing! 💙💙💙
As Sen. Cory Booker’s filibuster-style speech on the Senate floor nears 20 hours, liberals online are cheering for him to break the Senate speaking record currently held by notorious segregationist Strom Thurmond.

Hitler ended democracy in Germany in 53 days. Today is the 53rd day of the Trump presidency, and the White House has announced that it does not believe a federal district court judge can issue an injunction against the White House. It can. The Constitution says so. This is a constitutional crisis.
Chuck Schumer’s capitulation is a lesson in how *not* to fight fascism. Democrats who are real true warriors know that we NEVER SURRENDER Now that’s a movement I would join.

Whose going?? This shit is important!
Donald Trump targeted AP and legacy media did nothing. Donald Trump has now targeted two large law firms and Big Law is silent. You all read Martin Niemöller's poem “First They Came.” So, I ask you -- What are you doing?
Just leave the nasty bastard already, no Amazon 365 days a year.
Is America great again yet?
I can make my no shopping day tomorrow last another four years if need be.
If you’re a Dem elected and you’re not mentioning the massive cuts to cancer cure and social security funding in every public appearance you’re just not doing your job.

Without friends
For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.
America will be an auction house for global oligarchs
Zelensky is a hero 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?
Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...
Donald Trump refused today to say that his handpicked VP is his successor, even as he also said he is doing a great job And yes, that statement—an immediate unwillingness to acknowledge that he will have a successor, to even say that Vance _could_ be a successor—means exactly what you think it does
Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.
Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
Why aren’t you banging down the doors of USAID and removing the illegal teenagers hacking our information? How does Musk have access while you don’t? This is insane! We are ready to be in the streets, please lead us or get out of the way and find someone who will! 🤬🤬🤬
I have been calling and leaving messages for them every day! 🤬
Are you willing to take a bullet? It’s awful to consider this is where we are as a nation. 🤬😢
While I appreciate the sentiment, I’m exhausted by the name calling on both sides. We are not third graders, so I will call him 47. But to be fair, Mango Mussolini was always my fav! 😉☮️
I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.
I worked in state government financial services for over 28 years. Whoever controls the payment system wins. Meaning, you can take off all levels of approval with a switch. Internal controls are man made, but systems can be manipulated very easily and effectively. This is frightening.

@raskin.house.gov: "Mexico said they were gonna put 10k troops on the border-- they already had 15k troops on the border! ... He just likes a lot of razzle dazzle and noise, but the leaders of the world are laughing at him. And we can recognize what a fraudulent pretense this whole thing was."
After several tries I was able to leave messages for Elissa Slotkin, Gary Peters. Keep trying!
In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding
Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?
WHERE THE FUCK IS DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP???
Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

Stephen Miller and Elon Musk are running the country while Trump plays golf, signs stuff, shitposts on Truth Social, and sells merch.
A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.
