ACCURATE AF. Don't even get me started on their weird obsession with drinking people's tears, and delight in the suffering of others.

Everything the pro-Trump billionaire Ellison family will now own: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central And more... With this comes the power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told. Shameful.

This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

Americans have been seduced by capitalism & brainwashed by “exceptionalism”. Keeping us numb to anything that doesn’t make us personally uncomfortable & keeps us hoping, not fighting, for the best to materialize. While the daily lives of most remain relatively the same, nothing changes. We are lazy.

Every word! We should be in the streets every day - boycotting - striking - getting arrested. Every MF day. We’re putting ALL our hopes in the midterms - will people rouse themselves to vote? Will T allow a fair vote and honor the outcome. Not bloody likely. We better be ready - for what comes 🗽🇺🇸

. The people of the original 13 states of the USA were fearful of a hateful demagogue rising one day to rule over them. They invented a Congress and Judiciary to check gross overreach of a tyrannical criminal Executive. In cowardice and self-interest, both have abandoned that sacred role. .

She was not perfect but she had smarts, spine & grit; it showed in the outcomes Texas enjoyed under her leadership. The 34 years of complete GOP control at the state level since have brought us here. Texas, like the USA, is allergic to education if it doesn’t feed ignorance, racism & bigotry.

She was not perfect but she had humor, spine and grit and it showed in the state Texas was at that time. Our public outcomes have only declined under Republican leadership for the past 34 years.

One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.
