DNI is not a law enforcement organization. But anything can happen when you let fascists in power.

I just heard a coworker saying ‘and then I opened the door and there were penises everywhere’.

I’ve no idea what she was talking about but I’m guessing it wasn’t the gateway to Narnia.

THE SENATE IS VOTING ON THE BOUNDARY WATERS RIGHT NOW!

Tonight, while most people are watching TV or putting their kids to bed, the U.S. Senate is taking a vote that could permanently end protections for one of the most beloved wilderness areas in America.

So much for that...

No more ICE. No more sexual assault.

It’s so fucking nice not seeing any MAGA shit on anyone’s property. Now let’s get rid of Trump and start moving on as a country.

one defined by reformist candidates who launch new parties and blow up old ones, winning elections by rendering traditional political structures obsolete.

Orbán’s Defeat Shows What Trump’s Opponents Keep Doing Wrong The Hungarian election was a setback for MAGA. But the winner’s campaign should be a wake-up call for Trump’s opponents.

The outcome is a setback for the White House and a humiliation for its best friend in Europe.

Earth will be fine 🤦🏻‍♀️

Who can we get Vance to campaign for next? Putin?

Good things are possible

Let’s hope JD hasn’t lost his touch and his campaigning works just as well for Lindsey as it did for Orban.

Peter Magyar just announced 5 minutes ago that Viktor Orban called him to concede. This is incredible news for the Hungarian people. Let’s hope he gets a legislative supermajority so he can deconstruct all the corruption from Orban. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
