It’s interesting. Whenever I post news about Trump violating the law, everyone asks “Who is going to do something about it?”
I’m hoping YOU do. This is YOUR government. After all this time, people are still expecting someone else to save us.

With his father dismantling (among other things) the Edu. Dept, nepotism baby and career idiot Don Jr seems to have confused Dr Jill Biden, who holds an education degree with The West Wing’s fictional First Lady Abbey Bartlett who was an MD.
There's a special place reserved in hell for people like Don Jr.

I’m going to stick my neck out and say I’ve run the numbers, twice, and with 7500-8100 votes left to count, I have Zoe winning by a few hundred votes. Definitely a recount coming, but I’m calling it for Zoe.

MTG. Seen here strongly supporting the murder of a black man.
Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow:
George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe.
But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

The harassment I faced returning to the US as a Palestinian-American makes it clear the US government is afraid of me.

It’s not about the hostages. It’s about extermination and obliteration. Genocide and pain. Western governments complicity in this tragedy will forever be a stain on those who claim to be better.
I feel shame, anger and sadness. Australia 🇦🇺 should have stood up for Palestine 🇵🇸.

Every single western pundit, politician, person on this site, pro Israel group, who mindlessly chanted for 18 months, ‘if Hamas released the hostages the war would be over’… should hang their heads in shame, & spend the rest of their lives apologizing, especially for being played by Netanyahu!

A sickening video targeting a crossbench woman shows just how low politics has sunk. Abuse, lies and now a metaphor for violence—while women die each week from gender-based violence. Silence from male leaders is not good enough. The women of the crossbench won’t be cowed.

It is a damning sign of the times that so many social media bios have “anti-fascist”, when it should be reasonable simply to assume that most people are not fascists. Sadly, it feels like America 🇺🇸 in particular is producing fascists at an alarming rate and is governed by them.

Israel — on trial for genocide at the ICJ, with leaders under ICC arrest warrants — bans journalists from Gaza to hide its genocide with lies & hasbara.
The evidence of war crimes is overwhelming — yet the UK government still refuses to implement a full arms embargo & sanctions.
