I think a lot of people don't realize how much strength it takes to pull yourself out of a dark mental place. If you've done that today, or any day, I'm proud of you and you should be proud of yourself.

I remember one of the conventions (W, maybe?) where a Black delegate later said that despite wearing a suit and all his credentials, other delegates kept trying to give him their keys to park their cars. I remember wondering why he was still a Republican

If Vance’s entire world was burning down around him, he would still stand there with a smug, self-satisfied look on his face and tell you he’s winning.

There are plenty of conservative Black folks in this country, and there would be a whole lot more Black Republicans if the party weren’t so damn racist!

It really is that simple.

Think about everything that’s happened since January 2025. Ask yourself which system the Trump administration looks like it is reaching for?

Trump’s actions look a lot like government control, corporate takeovers, and state power creeping into every corner of the economy.

Blurring the line between the military and police leads to distrust, division, and lasting harm.

Thank you to all the veterans who joined us in DC to call for an end to military deployment in our cities.

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down
TRUMP: Uh huh
MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade?
TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

The title doesn't fully address the fact Gavin Weisenburg and Tanner Thomas wanted to make women and CHILDREN their sex slaves.

They had already filmed themselves r__ping a child while they planned on invading Haiti.

This is brilliant!!!
Did you hear about the Trump administration campaign calling for "civility" and telling people to "dress with respect" when they travel?

Well, I fixed Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's ad...

MAGA is such a stupid, damaged cult.

They say the most ridiculous, embarrassing nonsense.

They all need therapy.

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Trump and his supporters are in a poisonous feedback loop where his power is based on encouraging their worst behaviors and thoughts.

Calling for the execution of political enemies is an escalation and it makes unchecked fascist violence a reality.
