The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

Think the South doesn’t matter? That’s your first mistake.

Democrats can’t afford to ignore it—and we won’t. Just spent the last few days in Mississippi, where the future is being written in real time.

5 million people protested against your policies, including veterans and military families. That doesn't say you are doing a good job. What was the highest number participating in protests against Biden?🤔 Oh right, there weren't any.

If you want to make the party more, what you want it to be then you have to get involved in the party giving up on the party is exactly how you make sure it is not what you want it to be because the people who don’t agree with you are gonna be the ones to shape it.

Remember this as Republicans move to gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans.

Pete Hegseth is treating the Pentagon like it’s a Fox News set—ordering a makeup studio while leaking sensitive information in Signal chats.

This is what happens when you put clout-chasers in charge of national security.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Donald Trump is defying a Supreme Court order to bring back a man he illegally sent to a foreign prison.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has not been accused of any crime. He was in the United States legally.

He must be brought home. The rights of all Americans depend on it.

DOGE has reportedly gained access to sensitive NLRB data — including info on union activity, workplace complaints, and names of organizers.

Coincidentally, the NLRB has multiple lawsuits against SpaceX and Tesla.

The conflicts of interest just keep getting more blatant.

I’m tired of @msnbc.com anchors perpetuating the message that Dems aren’t doing the work or that it’s not possible to find what they’re doing.

I think I need to be interviewed but the only way that’s gonna happen is if they are aware of me.

If you think I should be on their shows let them know!
