Trump literally leaving his supporters out in the cold while he and his billionaire buddies stay warm and cozy inside is the most Trumpian thing in the history of Trump.

MAGA will never learn will they?

More than almost anything else, I will miss having a President who is capable of compassion, decency and empathy in times of crisis.

What. The. Fuck.
The polio vaccine worked so well, humans forgot polio existed — and somehow that’s the problem.
Thou Shalt Not Allow Polio to Come Back
Holy shit, what the fuck.

Exactly this. I’m still with her.
She ran a brilliant campaign and there is nothing she could have done better. The failure came from the American people.
I can’t stand election post mortems. She was a brilliant candidate. She engaged a lost generation of voters and she almost won. I’m still with her.

In case I needed another reason to want to move to Spain.
Oh great, now the US has becoma cautionary tale to other democracies who are running to innoculate themselves from their own right wing fascists by adding these rights to their Constitutions.

"American exceptionalism" is now officially dead and buried.
As the U.S. prepares to go backwards in human rights, PRIME Minister Pedro Sanchez vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spain’s constitution so they ‘can never be undone’.

Rest in peace, sister. A life well-lived.

Good reminder that we cannot be silent or complicit. We must resist!
Humiliated by a Nazi officer as a teenager, Madeleine Riffaud joined the French Resistance. By the time she was 20, she had killed a German soldier, survived torture and captured a supply train. She died on Nov. 6 at her home in Paris. She was 100.

I hate when they take away things you were just starting to really enjoy, like your favorite TV show or democracy.

In these difficult times, may I offer you my snuggling cats to give you some peace. Sweet orange sisters! 🐈🥰🐈

Boom!
There IS a left-wing agenda, and it’s to prioritize compassion over greed. Kindness isn't a limited resource.

Do NOT obey in advance!
A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?

This.
Joe Scarborough and Mika from Morning Joe, their ratings plummeting, made a pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago because they decided if you can't beat him, grovel for access and help normalize him AGAIN.

STOP 👏
WATCHING👏
MORNING👏

YES!! I left Goodreads over a year ago. StoryGraph is soooo much better! Check it out!
Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Doing the good work @joshuarmartin.bsky.social ! Happy to know you. If you aren’t following Joshua, you should be! Happy Sunday all 💙
Since almost 10k of you have followed, I thought I’d reintroduce myself. I’m Joshua Martin, I’m 22 years old, a college student and community organizer.

Now’s the time to build a community and fight back.

Repost this, give me a follow, and let’s band together!

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick.

You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide.

See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.

Every American deserves to see the Matt Gaetz ethics report.
