If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

It’s been 6 weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election & she’s not sworn in

Congress is being paid as federal workers work for free & Americans go hungry

There’s no incentive for the GOP to end the shutdown

They’re funding ICE. They’re funding themselves. They’re funding Argentina

It’s a coup

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Yeah only foreign thinking to Americans who think individualism actually exists & homelessness is a character flaw. Americans seem to love poverty, disease, guns, homelessness, war and the uneducated. All you lot do is call everything that helps people 'woke' and vote in a demented child rapist.

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

This week, ICE illegally denied me entry into a processing facility in my district, and today, they released a statement saying I “[gave] the appearance of a political stunt intended to generate publicity rather than pursue genuine oversight.”

I have some thoughts.🧵

Plus, the Department led by a Secretary best known for cosplaying that she’s in a war zone should perhaps not lecture anyone on publicity stunts.

It’s cruel to send Palestinians desperate for food into a death trap.

And now, Trump wants to give the Netanyahu backed "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" $30 million. We should not send a single cent.

We must stop the suffering in Gaza and fund real aid organizations.

Same. It’s the hyper emotional gaslighting you get from active substance abusers and any narcissists when they are caught. The goal is to overwhelm you, make you question reality, and back off so they can go on doing whatever they want without regard to who they hurt.

Pay attention: Senate Republicans are trying to ram through extreme anti-abortion judges right under our noses.

Their goal? A nationwide abortion ban.

I’ll keep fighting back against nominees that want to take away our freedoms.

The Republicans you see supporting Trump on TV know exactly who he really is. They already told us.

Today is flag day. Here’s a video of a man using an American flag as a drape covering for Trump art and wadding it up in front of Trump who doesn’t seem to mind.

Later, the man places the wadded up flag in a chair behind him.

Why didn’t Trump stop him?

Got an email from the NIH that no DEI work was detected in my grant, but I needed to change the language to be c/w their priorities. I am hopeful this means it won't get axed.

I'm removing "trigger words" like "culture, historical, diverse, underserved", and it all just feels so stupid. #medsky

The 250th birthday of the U.S. Army should have been a fun event for all Americans to honor our military through the ages. Soldiers from every political party have fought in that uniform. Sadly, Trump has made it so that the entire event is seen as a MAGA event. That’s truly sad.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Charlie to the Rescue shared this.

If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one.

Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody…

*Applause*

Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

Of course, ICE isn't the Gestapo. The Gestapo didn't cover their faces as they kidnapped people going about their lives to send them to death camps.

ICE is a Banana Republic HUNTA. Face and identification covered, kidnapping people from their homes and public spaces without warrants & due process.

Suggestion to ICE: If you don’t want to be called the Gestapo, stop acting like the Gestapo.

If I were a member of Congress I would have already introduced a bill prohibiting ICE agents from wearing face masks and requiring them to wear official identification at all times

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.

“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”

No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.

Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.

What the fuck are we doing here?

I remember as well.

eight leatherbound books all titled "FERNS" volumes 1 through 8

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

I just don’t think that THIS
Can be posted ENOUGH!
What the hell have they done to our country?!?!?

It may very well be the real agenda. I hope he stops.
