Please consider not watching (or appearing on) Morning Joe ever again. Easy decision for me since I never liked it anyway. Sucking up to a psychopath should be a deal breaker.

Is the United States a single, unified country? Or is it a bunch of little countries in a trench coat?

If your basic human rights aren't guaranteed at the federal level, then you aren't equal citizens under the law.

If your rights to bodily autonomy differ from state to state, then being an American citizen does not guarantee your fundamental human rights.

the thing about being a political junkie is you have extremely difficult time conceptualizing how someone could be totally ignorant of politics but i would strongly encourage you to imagine the kind of person who googled “did biden drop out?” on november 4th and then cast a ballot on november 5th

There is something deeply amusing about musklings coming here and realizing there’s no algorithm to boost their rage bait, which was their main advantage.

Stop trying to embarrass fascists.

The phrase "when they go low, we go high" is the liberal equivalent of bringing flowers to a gunfight. It's a smug, self-sabotaging mantra that preemptively neutralizes people like me who'd rather win material gains than smell my own farts on some fictional moral high ground.

Marco Rubio, Trump’s Secretary of State pick, explicitly said yesterday that he would NOT call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Great job to all the protest voters who snubbed Harris over Israel - you guys are really playing 6D chess here.

And it's time to stop prioritizing visibility over connection. We are entering an age when visibility will become extremely dangerous for some people. We shouldnt be doing a lot of things out in the open—especially not on an avid fascist's platform.
When visibility means getting rape threats and called slurs, it's not worth it to most people🤷🏾‍♀️the psychic damage isn't worth it.
