Katie Phang: And now that my time here at MSNBC comes to a close, I am taking that fight back to a familiar place… I hope you'll follow along with me as I continue to meet you where you are at places like Substack and YouTube with fellow truth tellers like MeidasTouch…

We are America.

We reject Donald Trump.

We punch Nazis.

We defeat fascists.

We never bow to kings.

Poorly photoshopped tattoo pictures.
Fake margaritas added to a photo op.
A demand letter accidentally sent to Harvard.
Nonsensical tariff stats and formulas.

We’re losing our democracy to the dumbest mother fuckers ever.

When we don't obey in advance; when we organize and fight back; They back down

Let this be a lesson!

WE HAVE THE POWER

LFG! NO KINGS! πŸš«πŸ‘‘

Pentagon turmoil deepens: Top Hegseth aide leaves post β€œThere is a complete meltdown in the building,” one official said.

Who could’ve foreseen that it would be a disaster to put an unqualified Fox weekend host with a drinking problem and sordid personal history in charge of the military

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

So … it’s full fascism at this point, can we all at least see that clearly enough?!?!

This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now.

And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this.

I’ve said this repeatedly but I’ll say it again: if you’re able, get an IUD. it’s easily removed but otherwise lasts for years. (voice of experience here: ask for a paracervical block pre-insertion, and if they refuse, find another dr)

Another day, another stock market selloff. It's time to admit that collectively we are the dumbest country of all modern nations. There is no other excuse for electing Trump, an incompetent conman who has no business being president.

But I thought education was supposed to be β€˜returned to the states’ - so which is it?!?! Does 47 want states to decide or just him - only he gets to decide?

If Your Church Won't Speak Out About a Deported Father, It May as Well Cancel Easter As a former pastor of over two decades, I could seriously throw up right now.

Churches/Pastors, If you won’t speak up on behalf of the least of these, if you aren’t willing to leverage your pulpits in the cause of the imprisonedβ€”just what in the hot-and-humid hell are you opening your doors for?

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, β€œWhy are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?”

I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

We cannot sit and let this continue - 47 clearly saying β€˜homegrown criminals’ are next to be sent to the concentration camps in El Salvador - this must not continue

North Carolina Supreme Court issues ruling that could overturn Democratic justice’s narrow win -Alyson Riggs Democrat won! Republican Jefferson Griffin LOST!

Think about that. They are attempting to change the law -corruption of our voting system!
Overturn the election?
