I believe that Trump is ready to bring the full weight of the government against Americans he perceives as enemies. Why? Because he has one goal: making sure he and his ilk never have to give up power.

Watch my speech on President Trump's authoritarian playbook.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

New York Times: Scott Perry Says Democrats ‘Hate the Military,’ Echoing Trump’s attacks.

The remarks by the Republican House member from Pennsylvania align with efforts by the president and G.O.P. leaders to portray the political left as un-American.

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Based on what I have read of this book so far (currently working on getting an ethically-sourced copy) Miles' book is the latest & most worrying sign of a significant shift in how Christo-fascists are talking about Paganism. It's time for a short thread 🧵 1/x

PBS News is doing more to expose the facts than the FBI…

📌 Many young extremists who grew up on social media and never knew life without school shootings now see public violence as a way to go viral.

So the chaotic confusion we are seeing right now is possibly by design.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard.

We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Trump and Republicans want you to forget what happened in this building on January 6, to forget the 1,700 violent insurrectionists whom he pardoned on day one, and to forget the bravery of the law enforcement officers who defended our democracy on that dark day.

We won't forget.

Pride is a celebration of living proudly, loving openly, and simply being who you are.

It's a reminder of the progress we've made because of those who came before us, and our duty to keep fighting for the equality the LGBTQ+ community deserves.

Happy Pride, New York! 🏳️‍🌈
