Q: A pardoned January 6 rioter was charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries

MIKE JOHNSON: Terrible. That's the first I've heard of that. I don't know anything about it.

We have power. Don’t let anyone tell you differently
Don’t let anybody both-sides you to death, or dilute what’s happening around you. The White Christian Nationalists are scared of you. This ass-hole administration is scared of you. We have power. Rest. Rattle cages. Repeat

A picture and it says: Stay vocal.
Use your platforms. All of them.
Talk to friends. Share posts.
Push back against misinformation.
Silence is compliance.

A picture and it says: Save this number:
(202) 224-3121.
That's the U.S. Capitol switchboard, and your direct line to every member of Congress.
When something matters, call.
Then call again.

A picture and it says: Rest is resistance, too.
You can't pour from an empty cup. Unplug. Laugh. Hug your people.
Rest is how we sustain the movement, not abandon it.
Because caring this much is powerful and you deserve peace, too.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Look, folks, he's the *Speaker* of the House, not the Listener of the House or the Watcher of the House.

You can't expect him to be aware of major events that are unfolding right before him.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

The President of the United States just posted an AI video of himself wearing a crown and shitting all over the country, and by tomorrow it won't even be news because:

1) It's Trump, and he always does insane things

2) Because he'll do something else even more shocking and degrading then

Provincetown has a year-round population of 3600.

I'm guessing there were at least 1000 at No Kings today.

Sorry I managed not to get the people in the inflatable lobster suits!

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
