No, HE is better than that. He is desperately needed.

Sure wish you would show some leadership. We need it.

This is WHY, You don't sit on your porch & applaud domestic abuse & human rights abuses if visited upon OTHERS. Sadism, human rights abuses, is contagious among people who aren't self determined. Who are "other determined" (following orders). Homeland Security is putting us ALL in danger.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

I like the way the background fades away so the bird is highlighted.

POTUS just called me, as a Democrat, an " evil lunatic." I consider that horrible. Will she support our firing him?

It's WAR.

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here.

This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

A TruthSocial post from Donald Trump, featuring an AI generated image of him in front of Chicago burning and under invasion with the words “Chipocalypse Now” near him stylized like the poster for the film Apocalypse Now. The text accompanying the post reads “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning…’ Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR 🚁🚁🚁”

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

Watching him speak lately is terrifying. Watching his entire Cabinet spend three hours fellating him is even worse. His death may herald worse abuses.

The Iowa Senate seat that Democratic candidate Catelin Drey flipped tonight has been in GOP hands for 13 years.

Not anymore.
