Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:
They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.”
Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…
Made in Nicaragua.
They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.
Legendary.

After firing federal workers at the CDC, some 180 of them have received emails begging them to come back to work.
"Read this e-mail immediately" was the subject line according to the AP.
So much government efficiency going on.
What a joke.

Sadism isn't swagger. It isn't American. It isn't honorable. And contrary to what a whole lot of fatherless boys believe, it sure AF isn't manly.
It's sadism.

believed the truth: the economy is just a complex set of interactions between people, and govt should facilitate that. Tariffs are the opposite. It’s big govt.
And they say I changed. LOL

This is disgusting. Trump just announced he will sign an executive order to house migrants at Guantánamo Bay.
Like they are f*cking war criminals!

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Is anyone else experiencing anxiety overload since the inauguration? I want to stay engaged because I care about the welfare of my loved ones and this country, but too much Trump and his cronies sends my heart into palpitations. The struggle is real my friends!

The Republicans had so many opportunities to stop this bullshit – but they chose 🟠 every time.
EVERY TIME.
The American people will always come second because the Republicans
seek 🟠‘s favor not ours.
I will never forgive them.

I am weary. Weary of 47 and those like him. I long to sit out the next 4 years. But I have loved ones who need my voice. So I will keep going, loving, and fighting for good; rising, speaking, and standing firm for them. Together, we will strive for a better world.
