“Deplorable” was better than soulless, inhumane monsters.

Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Someone is making an ad with a montage of Trump verbally attacking journalists, right? (Ideally going back to Trump 1.0.) That should basically play on repeat from now until next November. I am so sick of this

❌ Russia has lost the ability to launch people into space for the first time in 60 years, — Russian media
At Baikonur, during preparation for launch, a cabin under the launch structure collapsed. This is a movable platform from which the tail section of the rocket is serviced.

If—for whatever reason—you don't (or can't) do anything special today, can't (or won't) be with others, won't (even if you want to) celebrate this day, I see you. (In fact, I see us.)
Even if you've muted words, you'll see posts about what others are doing. That's OK.
And so are we. ❤️

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair.
Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.
We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.
