Where does this ghoul live? I think a doxxing is in order.

And we’re just sitting here,letting it happen? This is deliberate psychological assault on the people who keep our government alive. These are our neighbors, our friends, our public servants and they’re being weaponized for politics. How is this legal? When did cruelty become a governing strategy?

A reminder that Russell Vought previously said he wanted government workers "to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains...We want to put them in trauma."
This isn't a government shutdown; it's government sabotage.

Headwinds, huh? Interesting choice of words.

Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

He wasn't shot.
He didn't win.
He's on the list.
He's not going to heaven.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

That's exactly what the rEpublikkkans want. To die before you get what is owed you.

Exactly, rEpublikans are in charge. They destroy everything, except the rich and powerful.

#GOP - Guardians of Pedophiles

Luca Migo ❌👑 @victinibcn.bsky.social · 18h

LA: Guardians of Pedophiles projected on a wall. Time has come to Release the Epstein Files!

Johnny Boy @johntkarnes.bsky.social · 13h

In other words, we are in charge, incompetent and protectors of pedophiles.

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 16h

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

Tweet from MeidasTouch: “Wow that’s crazy. Who’s running the federal government?”
Below, Acyn’s tweet quotes Rep. Mike Johnson: “If you look at polling, people’s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they don’t see that it’s being done well.”
A C-SPAN screenshot shows Johnson speaking with another man standing beside him.

rEpublicans have always stolen from the poor and middle class to give to the rich. Until we vote them out of office, forever, this will never change.

Ari Cohn @aricohn.com · 1d

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.
