My sister and I got this. My father died when I was 9 and my sister was 12. Fuck you, Jeanine Pirro.

β€œThe Handmaid’s Tale” Reflects the Exhaustion of Liberal Feminism What’s most striking about the show, now in its final season, is not its hysteria but its lack of conviction.

I wrote about the final season of "The Handmaid's Tale" and #Resistance feminism in retrospect, for @newyorker.com: www.newyorker.com/culture/on-t...

I respect the hell out of RBG... but we ultimately lost Roe v. Wade because when she was terminal, and asked multiple times to step down, she didn't. Obama would have had the opportunity to nominate someone.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.

Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.

It’s been the plan for decades.

His nonverbal and entire presence at that meeting was off. Hands in his lap, tapping fingers, head down, eyes darting. It's definitely a rabbit hole... but at this point πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ I'm so gaslit my hair is singed.

I think this is the first round of sacrificial lambs. A traitor never has issues betraying anyone. There is no sense of loyalty in the GOP right now. Reps want out, they don't want to go down with the ship. Rubio very well may have sent an SOS.

We should not forget that the VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES participated in the WhiskeyLeaks breach.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Hey Republicans –
The same guy who claims to care about your financial well-being
is deliberately tanking the entire economy
while hawking cars
on the White House Lawn
for the richest guy on the planet.

Leave your goddamned party
and demand his removal.

Meme: It's okay to grieve a future you thought you'd have.

You don't just grieve the loss of your loved one. You grieve the future you had imagined together, the memories you could have made, and an entire life that should have been. #grief #widow #thegriefspot #thegspot #griefisadirtyword #normalizegrief

Only dumbass right wingers would look at a guy whose last venture involved destroying 80% of a company's value and who keeps causing international incidents by crashing shit and say, "Let's give THAT guy unfettered access to remake the Federal govt."

It was designed to tank the markets so the broligarchs could gobble us stocks at bargain basement prices. How many times will the regime pull this stock manipulation tactic in the next four years.

Why won't our own congress listen to us? We are under a fascist attack/takeover and our leaders are obsessed with decorum and business as usual.

Please give us your thoughts on why no single Democratic leader has emerged to solidly counter Trump/Musk. Yes, many are speaking up, Senator Sanders is doing an anti-oligarchy tour, but no one is standing up to be the face of and fighter for democracy.

Broken Promises: Over 30,000 Farmers Denied Funds President Trump's executive orders have triggered a freeze on over $2 billion in promised payments to more than 30,000 farmers and ranchers, undermining contracts for voluntary conservation and rural ...

By threatening to renege on these contracts, the Trump Administration is breaking commitments to farmers and threatening the economic stability of rural America.

Thank you for treating this like the unprecedented situation it is. Please convey to your colleagues that ping pong paddles and matching scarves are not cutting it, we need more.
