So the orange buffoon has: - Created higher unemployment - Increased inflation - Been party to war crimes - Actively assaulted health care for everyone - Dismissed the idea that cost of living is too high - Degraded female reporters - and more! 1/2

If anyone on the left had done these things as President, the right would be simply rabid with fury and trying to remove him. But when it’s their guy? Silence.

🖋️ “Tell Your Governor & State Legislators: Stop ICE's Fascist Kidnappings” hit 100 signers! 💬 Text SIGN PZKHLQ to 50409

resist.botTell Your Governor & State Legislators: Stop ICE's Fascist KidnappingsText SIGN PZKHLQ to 50409 — I am reaching out today deeply disturbed and outraged by the escalating unconstitutional actions by ICE, which now amount to abduction, unlawful detention, and state-sanctioned human trafficking. These appalling acts undermine the core values of our democracy and pose a grave threat to human rights and dignity. Yesterday in Worcester, Massachusetts, we witnessed an egregious example of unchecked brutality. A mother was forcibly seized by agents claiming to be from ICE—who provided no identification, wore masks, and carried no warrants. Her terrified 16-year-old daughter was brutally assaulted by local police, her face violently forced into the pavement while pleading for answers. This flagrant abuse violates constitutional protections, due process, and basic humanity. Equally alarming is ICE's recent arrest of the Mayor of Newark, NJ, solely for exercising his constitutional rights to free speech and peaceful assembly. These authoritarian measures are starkly reminiscent of oppressive regimes, actions fundamentally opposed to the principles of freedom and justice we cherish. Immigrants are foundational to our nation's identity and prosperity. Without the invaluable contributions of generations who journeyed here seeking safety and opportunity, America would cease to be the diverse and dynamic society it is today. Yet, we are rapidly devolving into a state that tolerates fascist tactics, alienating our allies and tarnishing our global standing. We urge you to take immediate, decisive action. Publicly condemn these unconstitutional practices, push for state-level legislation to protect immigrant rights, and employ every available legal avenue to resist these human rights abuses. Mobilize your community, use your leadership to unify and galvanize collective resistance to cruelty and injustice. History and your constituents implore you to act now—before it is too late.

The fascists are doing exactly what they told us they’d do in their Project2025 list of destruction & cruelty so it seems smart to assume they’re also going to come after my LGBTQ+ family & the romance novels I write for a living. My vow: Over my dead body! 🏳️‍🌈❤️😡 Learn how to fight back👇🏼

This is not a new idea. I’ve seen it far too many places to credit, but companies MUST make a line item “Tariff Surcharge” on their receipts so people see it and connect the dots.

WTF, Florida? I know you’re heavily gerrymandered, but Jesus. Come on, Wisconsin! Hopefully Melon Husk flushed away $20 million for nothing.

The best way to understand the U.S. right now is as a parliamentary system where the Democrats have joined a coalition government to vote in favor of everything the Republicans want without demanding any concessions for their own constituents.

Okay, watched “Section 31” on Paramount+ yesterday. It was fine. As always Michelle Yeoh was incredible, but it mostly felt rushed and not all that well thought out. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
