So my US rep’s office staff told me today that they could say with certainty two things: John James supports the president, and John James 100% supports the rule of law.” I spent 30 minutes trying to explain that those were mutually exclusive.

There is nothing an authoritarian fears more than peaceful, organized people power. That’s why the White House is now turning its sights on us. 🧵

Saying someone is a "member of antifa" is like saying someone is a "member of socialism" or something. it makes zero sense. But they can't use the ideological form of the word because it makes it too clear what the ideology actually is and it would include our grandpas

From Meidastouch: It's reported by the White House that the Convicted FElon is going to Walter Reed Military Hospital tomorrow, Friday, for an annual visit. The problem is he had an annual visit back in April. It has been shown that the Convicted FElon is having some serious health & mental concerns

Real security is funding for hospitals and health centers.

Real security is making sure that Americans can see a doctor when they’re sick without worrying whether they can make rent.

Real security is paying our military AND protecting health care.

This isn’t real security.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Most Russians don’t know Putin is a dictator—because he controls the news media.

Same thing is happening with legacy and mainstream news media in the U.S.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

Trump is persecuting Letitia James for finally holding him accountable.

He is just trashing the Constitution and turning us into an autocracy.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Go woke, go Pope

Pope Leo says faith and love for migrants are connected

Indicting political opponents & critics because they are political opponents & critics is terrifying.

It's completely inconsistent with the rule of law & democracy.

It should scare everyone - and (hopefully) will get people to realize that we all need to stand against this.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..
