Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

This is a 1979 Herblock editorial cartoon. Reagan took office & took down Jimmy Carter's White House solar panels. US Gov't has been in service of Big Oil for 100 yrs, destroying democratic governments & installing murderous dictators. We should have all had clean, free energy 25 yrs ago.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Today, the president of the United States said that multiple US senators should be put to death for treason and articles of impeachment have not been filed yet. This country is cooked. Done. Finished.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I can assure you Naporkleon Bonespurs, an anti-Constitutional draft dodger who bows to America's enemies, accepts lavish gifts from foreign despots while threatening veterans for upholding the law is the kind of traitor George Washington would have tried for sedition and hanged.

In the 1970’s…this is what at least 70% of the chicken-frying, mashed-potato’s making grandmas…of all my friends looked like. If you grew up in a rural area in the 60’s or 70’s (or before) you know I speak the truth.

He keeps screaming about how they’re all Democrats and they were Democrats. He gave the Democrats, and he keeps fucking, forgetting to mention that he was a democrat at the time.

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge.

The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

“THIS IS A SEWER… A SCAM… Congress has been enriching itself for too dadgum long.”

We are highly critical of @RepTimBurchett but he & @repjayapal are right — Congress should be BANNED from trading stocks, as @unusualwhales calls out.

Make your reps & senators back this.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me
