"Do Not Comply In Advance"

- bossy
- already a cliche
- implies permission to comply later

"Fuck You, Make Me"

- leads by example
- directs yelling at opposition instead of allies
- easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

95 democrats, including @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social voted to "honor" the life of charlie kirk, who called for joe biden to be killed and said black women like justice ketanji brown jackson are unqualified affirmative action hires.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Absolutely. We elected good democrats in Texas until Ann Richards decided to go republican lite. F* the unions, f# the progressives, f% blacks &women. Appointed repubs to state boards, then wondered why they didn’t support her in the reelection . They will screw it up again if we let them. #resist

🚨 This woman tries to call the family of the man being disappeared and ICE will not allow her to get a phone number. One of the “undercover” mobsters nearly backed into her.

Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio is 18

And a US citizen

As he was arrested by ICE-head pressed to the ground and facing a stun gun-they told him “you’ve got no rights here”

“‘One of the officers ‘put his hand inside the window..popped the door open, grabbed my friend by the neck and had him in a chokehold’”

Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed a budget line item late Sunday that would have brought in an estimated $450 million in federal dollars to fund a summer food aid program for low-income children.

Abbott vetoes summer food aid program, forgoing $450M in federal funds

Texas is one of a dozen states that doesn't participate in the Summer EBT program that gives low-income children meals when school is out.

The American Bar Association dropped a bomb lawsuit.

To prevent passing the bucket, they sued everyone. The defendant list stretched 40 pages.

Yup. This isn’t normal, and I’m here for it. 🍿🍫🥤

We all need to DEMAND Senate hearings on what Kristi Noem did to Senator Padilla!
Will @schumer.senate.gov do his job?
Or will he roll over for MAGA jackboots?
