Trump is horrendous. And the Democratic Party lost to him. Therefore, the Dems must change in order to win against such colossal losers. Given their adoption of “neoliberalism” fucked the dems’ working class base & caused this mess, the change should be a return to FDR New Deal policies. #democrats

Congrats to every Republican who warned about the massively dangerous pro-terrorist “I Hate America” rallies who now gets to see their words featured in a Daily Show montage with images of sweet little grandmothers waving little American flags

Astonished at the size of the protest on Grosse Pointe. Keep in mind that this is the same place that nonstop harassed the Trader Joe’s employees for requiring masks. We got a frog, a dragon, a chicken and a wizard

Do clowns like Pete Hegseth realize they’re the poster children for diversity, equity & inclusion? Do they have any clue, as they stumble through life wearing the potent scent of incompetence & arrogance, that they continually shatter the myth that but for DEI we’d have a meritocracy?

Yes. Damn right. #Republicans : The party trying to help Americans die faster.

This moment is a test. Donald Trump wants us to blink first and hand him over power.
We have too much to save to give in. Protecting the American people is too important a task for us to give up before anything even starts.

jury awards for ICE’s violations of peoples’ civil rights.

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Trump has to go. He’s the worst president in my lifetime. And that includes Nixon. Trump is the antithesis of American. Which is to say he’s unAmerican. Americans need to resist by legal means his illegal activities and overreaching at every turn. If we do that, I’m confident he will fail. #resist

5 deferments during Vietnam. Maybe he’s squatting and smelling something else because he’s on a battlefield. Also, more proof he’s mentally and morally unfit for office and should be removed by impeachment and/or other legal means.

Maybe he meant to say that Trump is a rat — just not that kind of rat.
Is “Backs off his claim” how the kids say he lied these days, @washingtonpost.com ?
Because Speaker Johnson told a whopper here as he covers for powerful pedophiles. 🤥

@nytimes.com For a paper of record, you’re awfully slow to record. E.g., the genocide in Gaza being committed by Israel and consistently failing to record the massive protests against Trump. Are you trying to match the incompetence of the current administration?
The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.
The crowd has no beginning and no end as it begins its march to the White House

U.S. taxpayers have spent $24 billion on Netanyahu's horrific war in Gaza. Instead of starving children, that money could pay for:
700,000 public housing units
500,000 low-income kids receiving health care
500,000 veterans receiving VA care
600,000 kids in Head Start
Combined.
