Life on a Monday in August may seem normal enough. And yet the reality is "We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country." I so appreicate @maddow.msnbc.com describing the simple reality clearly. It does us no good to pretend it's not real. The only question is what we do about it.
Any Dems who don’t have this attitude should exit politics now:
We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.
President Trump signed a memo to federalize 2,000 National Guardsmen, arguing the deployment is necessary to combat “lawlessness” in L.A.
The move comes over the objection of Gov. Gavin Newsom, who said it'll escalate tensions over immigration raids in the area.
This is nuts...he is not fighting the same fight they are..it's delusion
After catching up on today’s news, my thoughts are as follows.
Fuck Putin.
Fuck Vance.
Fuck Trump.
Slava Ukraini.
It bears repeating.
This book shouldn't be banned 😂
“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker
“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw”
Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start
If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.
After a 12-hour markup where Democrats fought to stop them, Republicans passed a budget that betrays the middle class.
Their plan steals from working families while delivering a $4.5 TRILLION giveaway to their billionaire donors.
Democrats will fight this Republican Rip Off.
You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.
You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.
Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
In plain English: Republicans in Congress plot more severe budget cuts to health care, nursing homes, and school lunches to pay for tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk.
It sounds absurd, but it’s true.
Before yesterday's crash, President Trump:
- Fired the heads of the TSA and the Coast Guard
- Pushed out the head of the FAA — leaving no one in charge
- Gutted a key aviation safety group
- Pushed air traffic controllers to quit as he purges the government
He's putting Americans in danger.
Time to post this again
First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.
It was just as cold for Obama's inauguration in 2009, fyi.
Good thing he’s not profiting off the presidency, oh wait ….
This !
