He acts like it’s only about what he has to say, not about what his constituents feel is important for him to hear. He performs, they listen. Not like he represents these people so should understand their priorities and frustrations. 🤦‍♀️

On one hand, Republican officials call themselves "warfighters."

On the other, they become whiny crybabies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets and New York City subways that literal schoolchildren navigate every day without incident.

Real macho stuff.

Why don’t we just hand Texas, Florida, or Oklahoma to Russia? We can call it a “territory swap” for goodwill. Americans can just leave and go somewhere else or live under Russian rule. Absurd, right? Stop suggesting people should just give up their home to an invader.

These are the foundations of real freedom.

You really, really need to read @rtraister.bsky.social on Zohran vs Cuomo, and how this race is a view into the glowing, melting down radioactive core at the center of the problem right now.

Screen shot of CNN site with a Saturday breaking news alert explaining that Trump launched a strike against Iran atop a CNN story from the same day headlined “Always a peacemaker”: How Trump decided to hold off on striking Iran

really sums up the media’s coverage of the Trump presidency

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

Beyond the important message, I’m very curious why you’re frogging 🐸 your crochet 🧶 project.
Inquiring (nosy) mind and all… 😉

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

“This isn’t what I voted for.”

Yes it is. This is exactly what you voted for. Go rewatch the rallies you clapped at and maybe listen a little closer this time.

This should be bigger news.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

Wise words from Mr. Rogers. We are all in this together. Let us all renew ourselves to strive for the common good.

Notice how it’s always, “our laws must be inspired by the Bible!” until it comes to the +2,000 passages in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

When I landed in SLC, I used the bathroom despite an anti-trans bathroom ban.

Nobody cared. Nobody ever does.

The truth is, whatever anti-trans laws they keep passing, nobody actually gives a damn or wants to be the bathroom police.

This is the ultimate reason anti-trans hysteria will fail.

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING: A federal judge in New York barred Elon Musk and other allies outside the Treasury Department from accessing any sensitive payment records — and ordered any who have received such info to destroy it — until at least Feb. 14.

Holy shit this cartoon.

WTAF 😳

if the president’s lackeys can functionally seize control of treasury funds and dismantle a congressionally-created agency without consequence, it’s not that it’s a constitutional crisis as much as it means the constitution is vapor.

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat

driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do
