Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary
Frog and Toad Are Antifa

There is NO reason why Democrats as a party couldn't be...exactly like this.

There is just NO reason.

It's embarassing.

The fact that they are not LIKE THIS is purposeful and bowing to people who'd rather spend resources on legislatively killing people than helping them be their best selves.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

Democrats in Maine drafting 77 year old Janet Mills to run against Susan Collins because electrifying Graham Plattner is insufficiently pro-Israel is EVERYTHING you need to know about the fakakta state of our party.

It is just incredibly broken and corrupt.

Some of y'all are pointing out that Trump ran the FBI on Jan 6, and had run it for ~1,400 days straight at this point.

But this doesn't have to pass your discerning eye.

It has to work on people that believe that Haitians eat your dogs, and that raw milk and Ivermectin is better than vaccines.🤷🏿‍♂️

Screenshot of Truth Social post by Trump:

"THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies.

What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT"

"love this for him" isn't quite what I'm feeling about someone THIS stupid and unself-aware.

"Elections have consequences" might be a better fit.

So now congrats to Hector Luis Valdes Cocho, Cuban activist, dissident & gay man, founder of Latinos For Trump.
He used to rally Latinos to vote MAGA, against their own interests-until he was detained by ICE. He'a now being held on criminal charges, pending deportation.

At this point Biden is just ignoring all these accusations instead of countering back at them and that's why GOP messaging is so successful

because top Democrats just DO NOT care to slap it down when it comes out of his mouth or posts

Keith Olbermann @olbermann.bsky.social · 22h

It's not just that Trump needs to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment

It's that in a sane world all his gullible, culpable bat-guano-brained followers would be removed under their own 25th Amendments as well

I hope all the Indian diaspora aunties I know who voted for this fucker are so happy with the exponential growth in anti-Indian racism.

There is a saying in my language referring to someone doing something self-defeating or self-ridiculing: Don't lie on your back and try to spit at someone else"

@realmattforney
To everyone who is upset about the Indian H-1B invasion, I beg you, do NOT sit out the next election or (even worse) vote Democrat or third party in protest.

The Indian invasion began when DEMOCRATS ran the federal government. Joe Biden opened the floodgates and Kamala Harris would have broken the locks off. The Democrats have responded to Trump's second term by doubling down on gay race communism (see: Zohran Mamdani). Four years of the nihilistic Biden regime should have taught us that "it has to get worse before it gets better" is an absolute lie. As bad as Greg Abbott, Brian Kemp, or your local GOP potentate is, the Democrats are FAR worse.
