Jen Rozenbaum’s voice has been exactly what I needed to read during this time. I’m thankful this book exists 💗

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.

This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

there was a great Calm sleep story a few years ago where LeVar Burton narrated a trip through the solar system starting from Earth as though you’re in a ship looking down, and he says “from up here, we all have the same address,” which makes me cry whenever I think about it

It’s not just Ms. Rachel.

Trump axed it. Only 6,000 of 40,000 planned systems were installed.

It was called the Iran nuclear deal. You threw it out because it was negotiated by a black president.

218 days until the midterm elections.

The work is to keep people safe now while also trying to get the right people elected in November.

If everyone commits to doing something, together we can do a lot of things.

Would these people wage war to rig the stock market? Fuck yeah they would. These are *the worst fucking people in the world*. And they are all gathered together, holding the keys to the kingdom.

Just an endless wellspring of reaction images

When I worked for Voice of America, fact checking Russian disinformation, we often were in the same spaces with Bellingcat. We were holding Putin accountable for his lawless hybrid war. Surreal to see this 👇👇and other stories about the Trump administrations tactics. Yet here we are.
