"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

john fetterman is the first rat in history to climb onto a sinking ship.

It’s crazy to me this isn’t a daily refrain from Democrats.

Trump has tried to pit Americans against one another to distract from the real fight: the fact that he and his billionaire buddies are rigging the system against workers.   We must call it out at every turn.

One of the biggest sports "what ifs" ever... IMO Len Bias was next level amazing... 💔 (November 18, 1963 – June 19, 1986) 💙🕊🙏🏽 #40Years

We just want to afford gas, groceries, housing and health care.

The saddest part is that American has never been a true democracy! It’s run by the rich to help the rich get richer by only allowing the rich to determine the fate of everyone! An easy solution would be for the poor to jointly decide what to not buy and who to not elect & not just follow?

He saw the backlash & busted a move.... I'm here all week, y'all....

I feel less angry when I avoid the news.....it's daily frustration.....I have to take mental breaks... it's even more frustrating knowing it didn't have to be like this.

The US midterms are not about choosing a politician this year; they’re about choosing between people who want to serve the public and a criminal GOP that wants to continue to rob it blind & destroy what’s left of the United States for its external and billionaire backers.

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

More than 100 pieces of potential evidence, including computers, were removed from Epstein’s home before the government searched it in 2005.

50 years ago....On this date in 1976, “I’m Just a Bill” first hit the airwaves on Schoolhouse Rock! I miss Schoolhouse Rock... 🗣Well, now I'm stuck in committee....

Trump voters really thought the biggest problem facing America was trans people in sports and chose this instead.

Two former FBI agents fired last year for having worked on an investigation into President Trump’s attempts to overturn his loss in the 2020 election accused senior leaders at the bureau and the Justice Department of targeting them for “political retribution” in a lawsuit filed on Thursday.

Young folks, I strongly recommend buying a DVD player and stocking up on some great DVDs of classic movies and TV shows. Many of them won't exist after this Paramount-Warner Bros merger.

Bill Barr misrepresented the Mueller Report. Mitch McConnell acquitted him twice. Aileen Cannon blocked the Jack Smith report. SCOTUS slow walked the Jan. 6 case. Pam Bondi withheld Epstein files related to Trump. Donald Trump would be in prison if not for our corrupt system.

Well done, #JesseJackson Rest in peace and power.

💯💯💯

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

This is the reaction from non-Latino and non-Hispanics. Imagine the reaction from people who are Latino and Hispanic. 🙌🙏🫶👇

Watching commentators still refusing to see the white nationalism of this administration and arguingTrump is targeting Atlanta, Philadelphia and Detroit because they are blue cities is just, it’s got to be intentional at this point. There are a ton of blue cities. These are majority Black cities.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

If a felony can prevent someone from voting, why doesn’t it prevent someone from being president?

🎯🎯🎯

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

Just a reminder for everyone that the lies from Trmp & his team started almost on day 1. Remember the mid air crash on that Potomac from a year ago & how they forcefully blamed DEI as the cause? Of course we all knew it was BS, but was also a sign of the “just lie” M.O. we now see. bit.ly/4rjadYy

Stephen Miller and Russ Vought are the two pure ideologues driving the agendas of white nationalism and destroying public services, respectively. They need to be the top political targets. Saying “Kristi Noem must resign” is a sideshow. Prosecute the whole cabinet later, sure, but please focus now.

The existence of this agency, staffed the way it is today, is just completely incompatible with a democratic society.

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." -MLK As always, Dr. King's message is right on time. Today calls on all of us to hear his wisdom and put it into action.

Murder is the intentional killing of another human being without legal justification.

😕🇺🇸

😂

Missed it by that " . " much

Since we’re renaming things…

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

MT: Lack of desire to punish the Confederacy.

@asharangappa.bsky.social I think you’ve nailed it 💯.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

He can afford not to choose sides. However, his ignorance about the purpose of DEI & spewing it out to an audience is ridiculous. DEI isn't about whether or not we're the best. It's about us being the best and getting passed over because we're BLACK.

If anyone had any lingering doubt that our government is controlled by white nationalists and racists, I hope this finally opens their eyes. It’s out in the open now.

Exactly. It’s partly we’re in this current mess (remembering how somehow Kamala wasn’t tough enough on Israel for some people, as if 47 would have been better).
