It’s hard to keep track that we just illegally murdered 11 people in a boat… b/c a sociopathic piece of beef jerky is trying to kill all of us while the entirety of the #GOP protects the President of the United States who has raped children. #RemoveTrump #FireRFKJr #EpsteinFiles

FUTURE HISTORY TEACHERS: “It was 2025 and the nation looked ready to become a dictatorship. But thankfully at the last minute, the insane president had a sudden dissecting aortic aneurysm and died. He was replaced with a guy who was quickly defeated because everyone kept calling him ‘couch-fucker.’”

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

many are understandably posting links to books, stories, articles, or making comments about the evils of slavery AS IF TRYING TO CONVINCE PEOPLE. pls don’t legitimize this insanity with rebuttals. there is no argument to be made. THESE ARE FACTS. IT IS DONE. no acquiescence to debate. mockery only.

The people who say we talk too much about slavery are the same ones who insist that we need public monuments and statues of men who are famous solely for waging a war of treason in defense of slavery. Statues that were created explicitly to deny any sense of "hope and progress" after the Civil War.

If you go to a museum this year, take along lots of "THIS IS PROPAGANDA" stickers to place on any Trumpified descriptions appearing on the placards next to the exhibit (not on the exhibit itself).

Who's the next Democrat that's gonna come out swinging? Who's gonna go on the attack? Who's gonna figure out a way to get it done regardless of the obstacles in place? If you can't see that there's an insatiable appetite for fighters and brawlers on the left, open your eyes.

there are so many better ways to do this with integrity… they can explain the situation first, why it’s illegal/immoral/unconstitutional, and then quote the nutjob… even if they are shit scared of him, im sure there’s a way to intelligently illegitimize his blatherings…

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

Trump posted this, but more importantly we’d like to remind everyone these posts get saved into the library of congress so people hundreds of years from now can also view them. Trump just included the fat JD Vance meme into that record.

In 2016 this guy went to a law office with the goal of killing his wife’s lawyer. He hacked a woman to death with a machete and bludgeoned two other people to death (including a man he falsely thought was that lawyer), then set fire to the building to cover his tracks. Anyway, Trump just freed him.

to me this helps explains racism in greek american and italian american communities. each wave of immigrants early last century were denigrated as filthy and uncouth. as they climbed the economic ladder they benefitted from viewing another group as lower than them.

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.
