Should be ashamed of this interview with Donald Trump normalizing everything that he's doing, especially talking about a third term when the Constitution does not say a third term and The Fed not being independent, how disrespectful to the American people and the Constitution.

Trump reposting a video of the Obamas as "apes" during Black History Month and no Republican officials as of yet condemning him is another reason why every one of them needs to be defeated at the ballot box and shunned in public.

I just keep watching it disappear.

Our free press.
Our right to assembly.
Our freedom of speech.
Our right to due process.
Our right to free and fair elections.
Our protections from illegal search and seizure.
Our private data.
Our warrantless entry protections.

All of it disappearing.

#OTD in 1995, astronaut Eileen Collins became the first female pilot of a NASA space shuttle.

She piloted the Space Shuttle Discovery during mission STS-63, a mission that included the first-ever rendezvous between a US space shuttle & the Russian space station Mir. #WomenInSTEM #AstronautEnvy 🚀

Some songs feel like people you grew up around. Even when they’re gone, the sound still knows their shape.

He tells us what he’ll do.
We laugh, then it happens.
He promised invasion; he invaded.
He promised troops at home; they’re here.
He promised retribution; prosecutors and investigators are now targets.
He seized ballots; he’s calling to seize elections.
This isn’t bluster; it’s a plan.
Stop laughing

Not to say that these men don't deserve to be outed, particularly if they were involved in the Pretti killing. But how strange that it was only the agents with Hispanic last names that have been identified.

I don't trust this Administration.

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back.

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back.

The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant.

The agents committed murder.

It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.
