Never. Ever.
Donald Trump and the Republican Party officially sold out working people.
Every single Republican now owns the fact that 17 MILLION people will lose health care.
Every Republican now owns the fact that grocery costs will go up.
We cannot let them forget this.

Genuinely one of the saddest photos.
THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all.
Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.

Please don't rank Cuomo.
I've heard people say, "Well, we need a strong leader."
I say, we need a leader who is strongly for NYC, not for himself.
@bradlander.bsky.social would be a phenomenal mayor.

Last night on Threads, I asked #GenX how they were doing. In short, a lot of song lyrics from our childhoods are playing on a loop in our heads. We grew up with this shit. And here we are again.
Gen X had the best "we're all gonna die" music. We're still singing it today.
My mental time capsule of the songwriters who captured the collective trauma and angst that defined Gen X in the nuclear age.

Are we really fucking doing this.
Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

This whole thread… wow. Live thread of CA Gov vs US Monarchy
Judge: The president is of course limited to his authority. That's the difference between a constitutional govt and King George! It's not that the president says something and it becomes it. Otherwise they become something other than a constitutional officer.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

STOP attacking Democratic leadership for “not doing enough.” Demand accountability from the GOP leaders who hold the majority in all three branches of government. It only takes a few of them stop this. Do NOT hold them to a lower standard.

Stop listening to people who are telling you you’re “distracted” or not allowed to laugh today. I will die on this hill.
Here's some advice: Laugh a little. Maybe make some popcorn.
There are a lot of action items on my list, but today, we're going all in on the Great Feud of '25. It's good for you!

Wow, did the NYT bury the lede here. The FBI, under Trump’s “all the best people,” is purging qualified senior women — and one man for the political views of his wife as a private citizen.
"A succession of top agents, all women, were given an ultimatum: Take a different post or be asked to retire."

The political media is obsessively relitigating the issue of Biden being too old and out of touch while the current president babbles incoherently at press conferences and regularly admits he's not the one making decisions on key policy matters.
