Yesterday, it was reported the Coast Guard would no longer classify symbols such as swastikas or nooses as hate symbols. Today, the Coast Guard has again classified swastikas & nooses as hate symbols. It looks like Trump TACO disease is spreading. Perhaps a vaccine would help.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking.

He's flailing on the economy.

He backtracked on the Epstein files and lost control of the GOP.

His plot to steal the 2026 midterms is faltering.

Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.

Threats against lawmakers are not speech; they are coercion designed to freeze the functioning of government. If Congress can’t advise the military without fear of execution, then checks and balances are dead. The House and Senate must formally censure this attack. Call your representative now.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

So @schumer.senate.gov really thinks we don’t understand that he orchestrated this by getting senators not up for re-election to vote yes?

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

I love Malcom but he often veers into hyperbole.
Not this time.
They’re framing that ANYONE who resists them is a TERRORIST.

Where are all those rightwingers yelling "you can't tear that down, it's history!" They protect statues which say "white supremacy" explicitly on their bases, but not the East Wing of the People's House. Just to replace it with a gaudy banquet hall.

Labor leader Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the United Farm Workers union with Cesar Chavez in the 1960s, says the Trump administration's immigration crackdown is "ethnic cleansing" aimed at all people of color.

Really think the biggest win today aside from just numbers is negatively polarizing the regime of 12-year-olds into fully adopting #YESKINGS as their official stance.

vance to his kids: “it is okay to tell your friends you love hitler as long as you don’t get caught”
It's telling that Vance's first instinct following the Politico leak was to tell his sons to be wary of what they write in group chats--to assume “some scumbag is going to leak it in an effort to try to cause you harm.”

His message here is basically--be racist; just don't get caught.

He's a master at gaslighting, much as his president is.
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)
