Calling for the execution of people who remind you that you have to refuse to obey illegal orders is a great example of an illegal order you have to refuse to obey. #USpoli

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

Still thinking about the fact that Obama appointed Summers to the National Economic Council AFTER the latter had to step down as Harvard president for being an outspoken misogynist. Like, that wasn’t disqualifying.

Whoever gets to arrest Trump needs to say, "You have the right to remain quiet, Piggy."

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Do y’all remember the guy who threw the Subway sandwich at the cop? He was found not guilty of misdemeanor! If the sandwich didn’t hit, you must acquit.

So, just to clear, we can take Subway sandwiches to protect us against ICE? What if Jersey Mike's is closer?

I really don't want to get on Dems too much, but I can't help looking at Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries and think that they're wholly unsuited to meet the moment.
This isn't normal politics. You’re the resistance to a fascist regime and if you can't do it, step aside.

📌Democrats are craving bold, decisive leadership.
Instead, they have Chuck Schumer.

Yep. I'm not re-subscribing. Can't support any company that would so cavalierly throw Americans' right to free speech down the toilet. Or any other rights for that matter.
DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now."
ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Only some people will get Kimmel back. Those of us unlucky enough to have their local ABC affiliate owned by Sinclair means we don't get to watch it. I will be sending messages to companies advertising on my local ABC affiliate. KOMO in Seattle is dead to me.
