"This is a criminal president and a criminal administration. This is straight-out fascism. This is about ending democracy. These people are destroying the Constitution. And if we say it in words that are any less blunt, we are not telling the truth."

Don't get it twisted. Those close-up Vanity Fair photos aren't mean. They're art. Hate corrodes the container it's carried in. Exposing evil and invoking a response is art.
What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.
There’s no Public Health—just leaders who cower to power. They sold you the lie: no need to protect yourself, your loved ones, your community from a virus that kills. How’s that working out? Don’t know what I mean? Bookmark this & come back after this next infection. I’ll be here waiting.
America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.
The one good thing about Trump is that he’s made clear most conservatives don’t believe in freedom, the constitution, the rule of law, democracy or any of the basic tenets of our way of life.
They only care about white supremacy and naked greed.
My great uncle was lynched after coming home from WWI because he went to town & wanted a drink and they refused to serve him— a VET who just fought for this country
After missing for hours my granddaddy found him hanging from a tree
THATS why I protect my peace
Every time I shine it’s for THEM
The crazy thing about humans is this:
We could provide food, water, shelter, healthcare, & education to everyone on earth.
The reason we don’t is because we’ve decided to put profits first.
That’s it.
The acquisition of bits of green paper over all else is a choice.
Greed is holding us back.
The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it.
Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate.
Because we don't have a minute to wait.
If Columbia hadn't caved on $400 million, Harvard wouldn't have been targeted for $9 billion. If Paul Weiss hadn't caved for $40 million, Skadden wouldn't have had to shell out $100 million. It's not rocket science, people.
I think this is the right understanding.
The GOP is no longer a political party with views or ideology.
It is merely the personality cult of Donald Trump.
Stat du jour:
40% of U.S.-affiliated Nobel Prize winners in the sciences — physics, chemistry and medicine — between 2000 and 2023 were immigrants.

During the Bush II years, hysteria Fox and GOP-leaning media outlets amplified by showing invaded Arab countries shouting “death to America,” is kind of ironical seeing as it’s those same media sources that brought about the actual death of America and not any Arab (Muslim) country.
As we all suspected:
"Two U.S. officials also said that Waltz has created and hosted multiple other sensitive national-security conversations on Signal with cabinet members, including separate threads on how to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine as well as military operations."
A tragedy is unfolding in the United States with shocking rapidity. Academic freedom, judicial independence, investigative journalism and civil society are dying. The lifeblood of a culture is draining away and the spirit of a nation is evaporating.
The American Dream is gone.
"No henchman or woman who served his cause will ever escape the ignominy or consequences for the war they initiated and waged against the American Republic and people.
A cabal of politicians have taken power in America, and badly overreached.
The comeuppance is going to be brutal."
