Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

All I want is for Democratic leaders to at least act like they understand that the Trump Regime is a criminal enterprise and that we're in an unprecedented Constitutional crisis. I know they can't stop it right now. I just want them to acknowledge it. And most of them can't even fucking do that.

Dear friend,
Mr. Trump's coronation last week was a disgrace. As I bowed in protest, I thought to myself "What has become of our nation"
Now it's all up to us. Can you spare $5, $10, or even $20 so I can attend the royal feast to continue the fight?

I think often of how even a lot of liberals see Trump's sexual assaults as unfortunate, but not relevant beyond the damage to his victims.
But rapists do what they do because of their sadistic desire to dominate. It's a red flag for shit like invading sovereign nations.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy
