Why are people surprised he linked Trump to the Trump? It's his admins fault! He tried to cover up the root cause because cronies tried to bribe him. He is tightly connected! Unlike the shits of thousands of Americans.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

you can't talk about declines in trust in public health without talking about the massive dark money campaigns led by right wing billionaires which targeted pandemic policies that threatened their profits + the politicians who supported them

What really irritates me about the US labor movement is the virulent racism dressed as "I'm too radical to see color." If you're happy to "build bridges" with eugenicists for "the greater good" I'm not interested in being around you. Its not an accident that these "labor" spaces are so white 🙄

The ghouls at HHS really thought they were on to something they posted this garbage yesterday on Facebook. Keep your hands & policy decisions out of women’s health & trans health. I know it’s difficult given that this admin is full of white men who like to ignore the word “no.”
U.S. Dept of Heath & Human Services’ post on Facebook on the left reads: You can’t defend women if you can’t define what a woman is. This week at the UN Commission on the Status of Women, the United States stood alone in support of women and against radical gender ideology. One nation one vote one backbone. America doesn’t outsource values. On the right an article from the Daily Wire’s headline reads U.S. stands alone defending women in gender identity fight at United Nations. A white box above it reads “Defend women? you attack them , silence them, and mock them. Releases the Epstein files.

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

So... Have the Democrats actually done anything today? Now that Congress is back in session. That's what we were supposed to wait for, right? Even though Trump can violate basically every international law and norm in the middle of the night, we were supposed to wait for Monday because reasons. So..
