Anti-fascist. Why can’t we be decent to each other? Trump has been a blight on common decency.

Happy Pride month! 🌈

Obama: "At some point, you age out. You're not connected directly to the immediate struggles that folks are going through. I'm not making a hard and fast rule here, but I think Democrats do well when we have candidates who are plugged into the moment. To the zeitgeist. To the times."

The fact that it’s being held in the worst country on earth, with the worst person on earth running said country.
FIFA should move all games to Canada & Mexico & sanction the USA for its human rights abuses.

My best guess:
- fans from some countries being banned
- the threat of fans who do go being intimidated and arrested by ICE
- the fact Trump is a rapist paedophile and warmonger who FIFA gave a peace prize too?! 🤮

1. It’s in fascist America
2. It’s ridiculously expensive
3. FIFA is a joke organisation
4. If you are a person of colour you will end up in a concentration camp
5. If you have called Trump a turd on social media you won’t get in
6. It will be ruined by American crap

I wonder how many people from other nations will be staying away from the World Cup not due to cost, but due to Trump?

Why risk paying to watch World Cup games, only to be detained at the Airport and locked in a concentration camp, miss the games then eventually be sent home?

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.

She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.
You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

I believe you should also reserve a Pulitzer for someone in the White House press corps who finally stands up in the middle of one of Levitt’s babbling propaganda scolding sessions, looks around at their colleagues and asks “what the fuck are we doing here?”

To paraphrase Jeff Tiedrich, there should be a lifetime Pulitzer for any journalist who asks him, “What the fuck is wrong with you?”

Epstein chose Brett Kavanaugh to replace Justice Kennedy. He thought they should’ve destroyed Christine Blasy Ford, I’m tired of so many sick men in power.

So the shutdown was to block ICE funding, but ICE keeps running anyway. With the same brutal tactics. And the only thing that actually shuts down are the paychecks. Do I have that right?
