Its funny that "ending DEI and wokeness" looks a lot like plain old racism and white supremacy.

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

You know they’re worried about this weekend’s turnout at the No Kings rally when they’re already making comments about it. Who’s ready for Saturday?

You know why it's Project 2025's goal to subjugate the women?
It's because they know women have the backbone to stand up to authoritarians.
Look at Olivia Troy, Liz Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson.
Women will save this country if the Republicans don't succeed in disempowering us.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

#Washington Governor Bob Ferguson responds to a letter he received from AG Pam Bondi in which she threatened to place him in jail.

Fuck Pam Bondi! The loss of her law license and her subsequent removal to federal prison CANNOT come quickly enough!

The whole MAGA fake ugly crowd makes me want to vomit.🤮 nothing is a greater turn off than someone who says they are a MAGA Trump supporter. Nothing sexy about them, nothing particularly attractive , just Toxic Sewage.

It’s become crystal clear, Speaker Johnson doesn’t want Congress to come back in session because they don’t want the Epstein files released.

Stop the shutdown - release the files!

I'm so thankful for Chicago political leadership right now. Yes Pritzker and/or Johnson might be arrested. But unfortunately nonviolent resistance often invites this for the greater good. Mandela, Ghandi, etc. Its scary, but courageous leaders are necessary.

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.

I never bluff and I usually win.
