On #MLKDay, we honor his legacy by choosing love over hate, justice over injustice, and hope over fear.

Four years ago, MAGA stormed the Capitol, led by their messiah, Donald Trump, to forcefully cling to power.

The irony? He’ll soon retake the White House—not with violence, but with votes.

Shame on every American who voted for evil’s return.

History won’t forgive you for this.
Nor should it.

Fox makes $14.92 billion in annual revenue, which is about $14.92 billion more than us. Yet, they are still losing to us in ratings with videos that are recorded in our living rooms. I love waking up Monday morning and hearing about Fox’s boardroom meltdowns. 😊 www.meidasplus.com/p/fox-wants-...

I have a crush on Christopher Cross now. Also, you should watch the yacht rock documentary if you haven’t. I had no idea that pretty much every album ever has members of Toto playing on them.

Rep. Dan Goldman: "Matt Gaetz, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard -- these are not people who are going to implement the rule of law. They have been picked to weaponize the federal government against Donald Trump's enemies and adversaries. That is the risk to the rule of law."

John Dean says Biden should pardon literally everyone Trump vowed to target when he returns to the White House. This includes those who investigated Trump—including Robert Mueller, Jack Smith and their teams—as well as “all on Trump’s enemies list.” However, I don’t agree Biden should pardon Trump.

Has anyone actually read the complete list of people Trump already pardoned & their crimes? I have. Every damn one of them. GTFOH w/your both sideisms & false moral equivalencies. People are sick of that old BS. I’m so tired of our hand-wringing weakness & refuse to participate.
