I would write a poem
about what it makes you
if you look Good in the face
and fire your gun
But she was the poet who wrote about making room for wonder
And you are the one who took her words

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.

Scum.

3) Do not confirm anyone he nominates for ANYTHING EVER AGAIN. I don't care if it's Jesus. No. You are an opposition party in opposition to fascism. He cannot have a little bit of fascism as a treat.

It's not important, really, but the syntax and punctuation make it clear that Trump didn't write this himself.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say β€œIt’s insane to threaten Greenland” and β€œI don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Say bad things are bad.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video.

The Trump administration is lying.

Cost of living ain't got nothing on the cost of dying
so much pablum about the cost of living from the representatives on "my side" while the goons are literally killing protesters. none of the national democrats talking about the cost of living have any kind of solution for it; it's the flavor the month for messaging purposes only.

Nobody cares what I think, most especially not my Congresscritters, but you can't vote to fund ICE and CBP any more. You just can't.
You can't pay murderers to gun down your neighbors.

If Trump can pay ICE and DHS he's gonna have an even more supercharged Gestapo. Make them funnel all the shutdown money to his ballroom and paying half the National Guard to stand around

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

I have ZERO idea why anyone can read Pratchett and think it "silly (dismissive)." Yeah, it's hilariousβ€”it's humor, and it's WELL-DONE humor, like master-levelβ€”but goddamn, is he ever perceptive and incisive on BASIC ASPECTS OF HUMAN EXISTENCE. "Silly," my ass. It's funny with a big fucking axe.

A reminder of what January 6 really represents and why accountability still matters.

Arkansans deserve representatives who defend democracy and deliver results, not politicians who stay silent when it counts.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

not to go all identity politics but I think it’s also because the victims are women
one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

For Epiphany, this glorious 1966 illustration of the Three Kings by the great Eyvind Earle (1916 - 2000), best remembered for his enormous contribution to Disney Animation's visual style during the 1950s, particularly Sleeping Beauty (1959).

This is something Dems should legit shut down the government over. If he wants to destroy NATO, he can do it with zero dollars and zero cents in government funding.
This is a direct response to the European statements. It’s an attempt at a palliative.

It’s still the worst act the United States has pondered since the Mexican War and it think there’s an least a 50% chance it happens.

NATO is basically over unless Senate Rs like Senator Kennedy build a barrier.
