My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents.
When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone.
If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?

“This is what happens when you fill a government with all of the most unqualified people ever to hold their roles.”
One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what *exactly* Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...

The text for HR722 is now out. It is the "Life at Conception Act" and defines a human being as constitutionally protected from the moment of fertilization. An exemption for "death" but allows murder prosecution.
This is a national abortion ban MAGA is trying to slip in. Link in 1st comment.

One of the reasons for doing this is to show everyone that they have your banking information. They can go into anyone's account undetected and take anything they want. They could take it all. Yes, YOUR account.

Their democracy died. They have lessons for America about Trump’s power grab.
Hungarians who lived through Viktor Orbán’s 2010 power grab warn Americans: Act now, before it’s too late.

Next time Justin Trudeau gives a speech to the American people, I hope he grins into the camera, winks, and says "And a special hello to Melania, my belle amie...".

The #HughesFire started in the Angeles National Forest which is federal land. That means this fire is actually Trump's responsibility and yet he hasn't so much as mentioned it. Newsome and CalFire are bailing the Feds out again because it is the Feds that don't take care of the land.

4 yrs ago, Ashli Babbitt was part of a mob that broke into the Capitol. They made their way to the doors of the House which were locked and barricaded. The mob broke the glass out in preparation for entering. Babbitt attempted to climb up through one of the broken out windows in the door. 1/

After Nawlins, we do need to close the border. We need a fence around Texas ASAP. The crossings would check for sanity.

If you are having a sober TG, I see you. The only one without a champagne toast, dealing with drunks, navigating dysfunctional relationships, I see you.
And I love that part of you that is questioning and fighting because I am, too. You are not alone.

The purpose of capitalism is to reward those people for exploiting people.
Middle capitalism is to create systems for exploitation.
Late capitalism is to hide for as long as possible those crumbling systems of exploitation.
Climate change crisis is a direct result of that exploitation.

Any #NFL or #Broncos fans on here? I like to talk #DenverBroncos football and it's especially fun after they beat the Raiders. I'm a pretty vocal progressive so if any of that interests you, give me a follow!
Go Broncos!

This is Aydian Dowling. He's the first transgender man trying for the cover of Men's Health Magazine.
Speaker Mike's Johnson's new House rule would make him use the women's room. With Nancy Grace.
House Dems should make him a fixture in the House until Johnson and Grace change their stupid rule.

The most dangerous pick for domestic policy is picking Russ Vought for the Office of Management and Budget. He's the architect of P2025. The OMB connects how agencies are run, the budget, and policy implementation across agencies.
This is the man that is going to oversee the destruction of America.
