WATCH: Testifying in the congressional charade against the SPLC, Nashville Republican Carol Swain (previously a candidate for mayor) says the real voter suppression in Tennessee is Republicans having “a lot of fear” asking for a ballot in Democratic precincts🤔

When people deny climate change, I just want to point out that within a 12 hour period, we had 68 degree humid weather. Then severe thunder storms/tornado warnings. And now it’s 28 degrees and sleeting. That’s not normal.

$2000 a month or a year will only cover healthcare for the most healthy in society. It won’t cover disabled or chronically ill people It won’t cover those in poverty It won’t cover catastrophic illness What happens to them? They die. This isn’t a healthcare plan. It’s an elimination strategy.

I don’t think ICE should ever be allowed to cover their faces These thugs are grabbing people off the street. Violently arresting and detaining them. We have no idea if they’re real agents or not. But I find it especially egregious to allow them to cover their face and take children

Watching the #RockHall inductions. Really think Mike McCready is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time.

A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.

The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”

The official voice of the US government Is cruel, gross, and weird. What is that doing to us?

Over 100 people showed up to demand answers from their GOP representative on why he wants to slash Medicaid for billionaire tax breaks. Let’s continue turning up the pressure on Republicans like Tom McClintock who keep avoiding their constituents.

What a fantastic article. Weaving and knitting are often seen as women’s work which is just another 💯 reason to keep working at them.

All of those people who are now crowing about the President having broad executive power to do pretty much whatever he wants felt exactly the opposite when a Democrat held the office - and likely will be outraged if a future Democratic president uses his/her power as it is now being exercised. 1/

Let’s be clear, the WBush admin wanted to sell off & privatise everything in the parks, too. I was privy to a leaked draft of re-written NPS Mgmt Policies produced by a Bush lackey, but we pushed back. We were successful. I’m not sure the same can be done now. shorturl.at/fmBjN
