Beautiful words

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness… The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live…is…victory.” Howard Zinn

Thomas Massie calls out Pam Bondi over the Epstein Files

It’s been one month since 100% of the Epstein files were due by Act of Congress. Thus far they’ve only released .6% of them and are using murder and war to distract you from this fact.

NEW: DHS says a "violent rioter weaponized her vehicle in an attempt to kill him. The ICE officer fired defensive shots." That's a lie. Watch the video for yourself.

This is the video.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.

Trump then pardoned the attackers.

He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

Every.Damn.Day.

Everyone’s asking whether Jack Smith “won.” That’s the wrong question. Here’s what he actually did.🔥

Protesting for #NCAR today in Boulder! Save science! Save NCAR!

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Catherine Lucey, Bloomberg reporter

Catherine Lucey from Bloomberg was called Piggy by Trump yesterday. His misogyny knows no bounds.

Our country is not ready for a woman president, but is cool with a pedophile. Wtf

Imagine being such a horrible human being that one of the most horrible human beings on Earth, Jeffrey Epstein, thought you were the worst person he's ever met.

That's Donald Trump: MAGA's King and Daddy.

So frustrating! But… could this possibly be a way to get the Epstein files released sooner?

Pass Voter Reform, Voter ID, No Mail-In Ballots. Save our Supreme Court from “Packing,” No Two State addition, etc. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!!!

speaks volumes that Trump's response to tonight's resounding defeat is to demand Republicans redouble efforts to rig elections

This is what their aim is. Tearing down the East Wing to build a hugely bunker underneath the beard ballroom, using military against US citizens, and starting a war with blue states, thus preventing the midterm elections.

I love how you let us know when the bar opens and when breakfast. Important stuff on vacation!

His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Um, btw, we didn’t try to silence CKirk, we didn’t care. It was just more crazy racist, misogynistic, hate-filled rhetoric we expect from MAGA. Release the Epstein Files!!

First day of school! Puppy socialization class at the humane society. He did great 💙

Der Donald's Face YouTube video by Sandy and Richard Riccardi

I specifically searched for a parody of "Der Führer's Face" (IYKYK) and found this. It's perfect for the orange maniac in the White House.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
