Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. - Christopher Hitchens

I think it's clear that the Republicans have just continued to push the boundaries of legality in every sense since no one was held accountable during the Bush years, and now they're just blatant in their disregard for the law and institutions, as long as they keep power.
Love what you're doing! But I have a question: If you were to become President, will you hold the members of Trump's administration legally accountable for the destruction they're causing, instead of "looking forward", Like Obama did with Bush and his crimes?
Although I wouldn’t be upset, I’m worried at the speed things will escalate with a president Vance and vice president miller. Getting the useful idiot out of the way would just benefit them.
So, now that there's ACTUAL tyranny going on, and the US military is being used against US citizens, where the F are the Proud Boys, or any other Militia for that matter? OH, right... As long as the fascism and tyranny support your bigoted views, perfectly acceptable - f_ck the Constitution. Got it.
WHO the hell is "Poo-in"??? What are "pundins??? And please, for the love of hamster hell, what the F are these "jrugs" coming from Venezuela???
The grift is strong with this one. So sickening to see so many people who used to be on the correct side of things sell out to the knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers.
FFS NPR! STOP SAYING "FLED". I know. It's hard to actually report the news accurately in this environment, but do better.
If the FBI attempts to abduct Democratic lawmakers from Chicago, the police should intervene, and uphold the law. Again, why are local law enforcement allowing illegal abduction of citizens across the country? And why isn't anyone pointing this out? Time to pick a side: Constitution or Dictator.
At this rate, there will be NO midterms. I’m not being hyperbolic. Time to move.
When are local police going to start protecting their citizens from these thugs? A tipping point is coming, a choice will need to be made: Uphold the law and protect your citizens, even if it leads to a confrontation between law enforcement and ICE, or just allow this to continue. Protect and serve.
Share if you agree. 🇨🇦 🇲🇽
When will people wake up and realize that voting for Republicans gives the entire country the WORST possible outcomes across EVERY metric???
Disgusting! What the actual FUCK is wrong with these people!!?? The death penalty is already wrong, but you knuckledragging mouth breathers have to take it further? There is an alternate universe where these disgusting Republican/Conservative ideologies have been relegated to the dustbin of history.
MTG is disgusting, but I have a question: Why vote to censure Al Green for rightfully protesting? Sitting silently with signs, shaking your heads in disgust are not going to stop the fascist coup. And if I hear ONE more Dem talk about decorum or civility, I'm gonna puke. Stand up! Fight back!
Thank you for your protest and service! Democrats who sat silently with signs: Get off your asses and act like there are fascists taking over our country. And those Democrats who voted to censure: You are spineless cowards who should lose your jobs. www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/p...
THIS is what a true leader sounds like! Wouldn't it be awesome to have an intelligent, articulate person as President? Unfortunately, Republicans absolutely HATE intelligence - it breaks their hold on power. Please, let's vote these idiots out in any upcoming elections!
Give you one guess
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged more military aid, as well as the possibility of weapons and boots on the ground, to secure peace in Ukraine.

Loudly and frequently protest when the inevitable lies fly out of his mouth. Chant ‘Ukraine Has Not Yet Perished’ every 5 minutes. It's time for visible resistance to the normalization of these fascists, because sitting there, shaking your heads and making disgusted faces is NOT going to work.
Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...
Judge William Alsup ruled today that OPM firing Probationary Federal Workers IS ILLEGAL. He rules that the departments, themselves, can hire & fire, but OPM “does not have any authority under any statute in the history of the universe to hire & fire employees at another agency.” 👏 Fight ✊ Back!
Republicans are united in their "need" to protect women and children in bathrooms and sports, but haven't done ANYthing about gun violence. These are NOT serious people. If voters don't remove this cancer in midterms, it's over. publichealth.jhu.edu/2024/guns-re... giffords.org/lawcenter/re...

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.
I'm releasing California's statewide plan for economic growth plus $245M in investments to create more jobs and support LA’s ongoing recovery. From agriculture to film and every industry in between, we owe our success to the people, communities, and industries that make it work.
Wow, great job! I'm assuming tomorrow DOGE will announce that Trump will personally be paying taxpayers back for his $27 million Super Bowl visit, as well as the millions he's spending on golf? No? Also, stop being SO obvious about trying to justify your obviously inept handling of EVERYthing, Elon!
So THIS is their red line???? Not treating human beings like cattle, not lying literally EVERY time he opens his mouth, not being a convicted felon, and civilly liable rapist??? Cool cool...
This is evil. Pure evil.
Bezos bends the knee. Pathetic.
Inequality has been slowly creeping into America for 45 years, but 2025 will show an explosion of intentional and wide-out-in-the-open greed. Unless enough Americans wake up and band together to stop it.
These are not serious people. They're literally meme machine trolls. Elon Musk is simply the worst, most painfully stupid troll in the history of trolling.

THIS! I honestly don't know what it will take to get red voters to actually pay attention to WHAT THEY'RE VOTING FOR. 2017: "He wants to eliminate the ACA?" 2025: "He's going to {list of egregious things here}?" Also, the non-voters: Like what you're seeing so far? Fuck you very much.
'Earlier this year, Republicans killed a bipartisan push to enable representatives to vote remotely while on maternity leave, so Representative Brittany Pettersen (D-CO) flew across the country with her one-month-old son to “vote NO on this disastrous budget proposal.”' - Republicans are disgusting.
A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Bob Norris needs to be fired immediately and the "security" personnel need to be charged with assault. Also, come on guys - why the hell did NO ONE stand up to these a-holes? Sorry, but if I were there, there's no way I would have sat silently while these guys assaulted her.
Meant to say "verbally", not physically 😜
Mills was amazing, but I have to ask: Where were the other Governors saying "I'll be seeing you in court, too"? If I were in that room, there's NO way I would have been silent as Trump physically bullied her.
THIS 👏🏻 Do you think AOC is right?
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
Homan and his gang of nazis better realize that going after AOC will not end well for them. While he's learning to read, he could also look up FAFO.
Not sure we're going to HAVE a "next" president, but I get the sentiment and agree. If we survive the next four years, perhaps you could run? Also, love you Mark!
Sometimes, you just need a little Ellie to make the world seem OK...
Blue states financially carry ALL the red states and are the engine of the US economy. Maybe it's time for a "Financial Secession" where blue states just stop sending ANY money to the federal government and red states? Hurricane? We'll do what they do: Send "thoughts and prayers".
All of these Repugnantcans voting for these confirmations need to be kicked out of office. It's just more proof that they're willing to put their god-king above US security, economic sustainability, and human rights.
Done! Added "This is the Gulf of Mexico. Stop bending the knee to fascists."
Unfortunately, this is NOT just the White House, this is Google bending the knee. All of the actions Trump is taking are unprecedented and illegal, and I'm wondering where the pushback is?
Musk's actions at USAID and the Treasury are illegal, why hasn't law enforcement gotten involved to stop these things from happening? Also, how can Homeland Security officers bar elected officials from entering a Federal building? Explain why there is no law enforcement response to these actions
