We should organize a national boycott

I hope to see you at our No Kings Day event in Atlanta on June 14! Join our nationwide day of defiance to reject Trump’s tyranny and ruin his self-serving birthday parade. app.sosha.ai/s/q0qQBw3F
If you voted for Trump, yes you DID vote to deport moms. Own it and fix yourself.
Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.
KAREEM SWISHES IT!
Can’t we ask International courts to start proceedings against them now??
Welcome to the RFK Jr public health era.

This part
Zero! 😳
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want.
Purposely making words meaningless
NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.
Walz: We don’t need to run government like a business, because we’re not in the profit-making business. We’re in the business of improving lives and looking toward the future. And second, this guy has a proven track record of being an absolute failure.
Walz: When did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? Government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest.

When we say we’re organizing everywhere, we mean it. Our groups are organizing the pro-democracy majority in all 435 congressional districts to reclaim its power. Find your local group: indivisible.org/groups Or let us help you get started: indivisibleproject.f...
A patriarchal authoritarian
I’m gonna guess there was a different reason besides fear.

When a judge tells you, "No, you *can't* kidnap people and traffic them out of the country because you have photoshopped 'evidence.'"
If your vote threatens someone's right to exist, then yeah I judge you based on your vote.
Russian asset
Hot Pocket! (Said in Jim Gaffigan voice)
*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.
Yeah so don't go on a cruise ever again if you were thinking about it.
The European Union and China are now starting negotiations to abolish EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This is a major strategic failure for the United States.
They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.
Does anyone remember Signalgate?
We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.
Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
No kidding. Why would anyone want to invest long term in the US with this schizophrenic economic policy.
Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

Benny Johnson: "Answer me a question: is it wrong for Hillary and Joe to do it?" @briantylercohen.bsky.social: "Is it wrong for them to to be reckless with classified information? Absolutely." Benny: 🦗🦗🦗 Brian: "See? Not that hard to accountability when someone fucks up on your own side."
Yes it is all related. It is why my book has chapters on machismo corruption violence and propaganda
This is exactly 💯 correct.
He wants that so they can plot their crimes
Nobody should still be on there
I hope they go to jail for not taking care of their child
Because of the ACA, preventive care like vaccines, cancer screenings, and birth control became available with no out-of-pocket cost. In just one year, women saved $1.4 billion on birth control alone. That’s the power of putting people first. #ACASavesLives
Well, he IS a terrorist, soooo
At some point normal people are going to notice that Trump is disassembling the federal government, right?
Maybe the Trump administration should just stop violating the law?
It comes down to their core values and ability to empathize
Just heard on Nicole Wallace that Musk is being briefed on war plans with China. Why does this South African asshole have this kind of security clearance?? (I know it’s Dump, but how is this possible)?
Warranted
This should concern EVERYONE
Chuck Schumer had to cancel his book tour because the people who would have bought the book now hate him.
Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat
Oh, honey . . . Donald Trump *is* a rapist (per a unanimous jury of his peers), which makes him a violent criminal. And yet you not only fought to keep him in the country, you fought to make the incompetent buffoon run it. So kindly take a seat, JD, you shameless toady.
Here is the head of ICE saying they are determining whether or not they think someone is a gang member or a terrorist based on, for instance, their social media posts, and then DEPORTING THEM without due process. This is fascism. Stop debating it. We're there.
When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.
A whole new direction … to fascism!
Marc Elias is doing more than any other individual to save our country!

Glad we have a drunken FOX host in charge of DOD

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
HUGE BREAKING NEWS: Pete Buttigieg is seriously considering running for Senate in Michigan after Gretchen Whitmer says she wouldn’t run for the open seat. Smash that RT if you agree Secretary Buttigieg would make a FANTASTIC Senator!! 💙💙

I’m 10,000 followers from getting as many followers here as I ever got on Twitter. Thanks, everyone. I don’t deserve it, but I’ll keep trying.
Last month CBO estimated the costs of 10 percent tariffs. But now Trump is saying 25. Should you just multiply by 2.5? No. Basic economics says the loss from tariffs is nonlinear, to a first approximation the square of the tariff rate. So what Trump has promised is SIX TIMES WORSE than CBO analyzed

In less than 24 hours our country is going to change. It’s up to all of us, the keepers of the flame, to provide necessary resistance. The volume of lies and disinformation will be unlike anything we have ever seen, we need to stand together as truth tellers. This Pack are some the best. LFG!!!
I’ll always be on the side of these heroes.
No better quote from Merrick Garland summarizes why he was the wrong man for the job than this from his farewell speech. From start to finish, he brought norms to a Trump fight and democracy suffered.
Riveting storytelling = inflammatory garbage designed for clicks
Took me a minute to realize this is Borowitz. Satire, but oh so close to reality!
