Getting real tired of politicians restating the obvious and telling us how bad it is. You’re not a reporter. You’re a paid public servant. Effing DO something besides squawking on social media.

Team USA beats Canada in OT in the men’s and women’s gold medal games!! ✊🏼❤️🏒 Great victory and we get bragging rights. Unfortunately they get to wake up with Mark Carney as PM and we’re stuck dealing with he-who-shall-not-be-named. 🙁

Democrats, grow a spine and stop soft pedaling this “reform” BS. ICE needs to be dismantled, not reformed. Tear it down. Full stop.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

The “What about Clinton?” retort when it comes to the Epstein files … 🤦🏼‍♂️ is just so weak. America wants FULL transparency. If there’s evidence Bill committed crimes, please send him and anyone else involved to prison asap and throw away the key. Prosecute them all. We’re not asking for anything less.

We need to get tactical. If OpenAI’s revenue falls by 2%, it will make a difference. The best way to ignite positive change is to carry out an economic strike the tech CEOs can’t ignore.

I find the nonsense MAGA keeps repeating about “paid agitators” in Minnesota absolutely hilarious. Have you BEEN here in January? It’s -21 this morning. That is the actual temp. Not the wind chill. Until you’ve lived it you have no freaking idea how cold that is. You couldn’t pay someone enough🤣

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

The mind-blowing irony of an insurrectionist threatening to invoke the insurrection act … + ICE targeting Native Americans for “immigration enforcement” 🤯

Enjoying your long weekend? Organized labor is responsible for setting standards for: - paid holidays - weekends off - sick time, improved health care - workplace safety - higher wages These things weren’t willingly given by employers, they were earned and we take them for granted. #laborday2025 ✊🏼

One of the healthiest things that could happen in American politics is rejecting the labels of the past. They are meaningless and distortionary. Time to identify candidates and office holders and voters by who they are, what they believe, what they’ve done.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

Why are House Republicans scheduling a key committee hearing at 1AM? Because it’s to jam through their unpopular GOP tax scam bill to strip away healthcare from 14 million Americans, provide massive tax cuts to the ultrawealthy, and explode the deficit by $5,000,000,000,000.

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.  Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

“Deporting” someone is sending them back to their country where they are free to live as citizens. What that asshole is doing is NOT deportation. It’s kidnapping and human trafficking. It’s illegally sending people to USA-funded off shore concentration camps.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
