i’m seeing a lot of “it’s healthy for people to debate,” and it’s not that i disagree so much as, when i say “i enjoy a good debate,” i mean i enjoy debating art and ideas, and they mean they want to debate my humanity and my right to exist.
that’s not a healthy debate, it’s a form of abuse.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.
Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Maybe if we start calling our body parts gun-sounding names like “revulva” or “shooterus” the GOP will stop trying to regulate them.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

The spin machine is real. We’ve had some of the strictest voter id laws since walker and his cronies enacted them. To fix a problem that didn’t exist.
And now it’s enshrined in our state constitution cause they know they will lose their majority at some point.

In my 15+ years of activism I have never experienced the total chaos of the last week. We are going to need to be kind and patient with each other as we fight the Trump agenda because this s*%t is draining and we can’t give up.

Now we just need to normalize using the term “oligarch” instead of “billionaire”
Baldwin: He ran on lowering costs for hardworking families. The image at that inauguration—of him putting billionaires up there—shows who he’s going to be beholden to and who he’s going to be fighting for, especially when it comes to tax legislation.
