A strong, fair, and just economy is like a tide that raises all boats and ducks.
Sorry about the duck thing.
I'll just duck out now.

Nice to see a Democratic Senator speak directly about Trump administration criminality without couching it in careful consultant-speak or trying to force it into an economic frame.

But Hegseth won’t be fired for war crimes. He was appointed *because* he advocates war crimes.

It’s up to Congress.
Pete Hegseth is a war criminal and should be fired immediately.

A U.S. soldier was executed on the streets of the U.S. capital, yet the flags remain at full-staff.

But when a hate-peddling podcaster was killed, the flags were lowered to half-staff within hours—and stayed that way for days.

WTH?

Tonight...

Would be a bit awkward given that the Trump administration has condemned millions of people with AIDS to death through their USAID cuts
The State Department has warned employees not to use government funds to mark Dec. 1 as World AIDS Day and to “refrain from publicly promoting World AIDS Day through any communication channels.” nyti.ms/3KhPDrA
Trump Administration Will No Longer Commemorate World AIDS Day
The State Department warned employees not to use government funds for the occasion and to “refrain from publicly promoting World AIDS Day through any communication channels.”

When he’s gone, I know there will be a lot to do, but can we make sure the living rose garden gets restored?

Somehow, I still can’t forget about the Epstein files. So how about leaking them out now?

The American people have finally wised up to the pedophile president's nonstop dumbfuckery, and Trump knows it. In desperation mode, the motherfucker is now just throwing shit at the wall, hoping that something will stick.😂🤣👇

I remember Dawning Realization Month for the NFT people too. Think this is going to take much longer because of how wrapped up the whole economy is in this, but it really feels like it's happening.
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

Cruelty by design. This administration wants chaos. They want us demoralized and defeated. They want us tired and exhausted. They want us afraid as they do, what I believe is, calculated targeting. “What situation will cause the most outrage?” But they also want us angry enough to use as an excuse…
I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

US Military: You must refuse illegal orders. You swore an oath. Uphold it.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

National public health “leadership” (hi RFK Jr 🙄) keeps poisoning public health with lies.

Vaccines prevent needless childhood deaths.

No baby in America should be dying of whooping cough — not when we have safe, effective vaccines literally ready to go.

This is a national tragedy

Undeniable Facts:

- The National Guard in DC were political props
- They were landscaping and collecting trash
- Their deployment to DC was ruled illegal
- They shouldn't have been in DC that day; they should have been HOME for Thanksgiving
- trump bears some responsibility.

We must remake the world such that the International Criminal Court has much more muscle – including jurisdiction over American and Russian politicians.
