@luckytran This is what a Republican congress does. ⬆️ Every #COVID post from now on should also be tagged #VoteBlue#Vote#Biden The cat is to remind you of how the MAGA views vaccines and the Rs in congress that are happy to let them. Rs want to fund billionaire tax cuts, Dems want to fund #healthcare. #CovidIsNotOver#CatsOfMastodon#GOP
Why is this elected official, paid by the American people, using his power to engage in #viewpointDiscrimination, and violate the #FirstAmendment rights of individuals and businesses that express ideas he doesn't personally agree with?
At Justice #Alito’s House, a ‘Stop the Steal’ Symbol on Display
An upside-down flag, adopted by #Trump supporters contesting the Biden victory, flew over the justice’s front lawn as the Supreme Court was considering an election case. #SCOTUS
Cross-examination of #MichaelCohen resumes, an opportunity for the defense to poke holes in his testimony & perhaps trip up or provoke the state’s key witness. The questioning of Cohen, #Trump’s fmr fixer, is the beginning of the end of Trump’s #criminal trial, which began April 15 & might conclude before Memorial Day weekend at this pace.
The #Republicans that showed up to the #TrumpTrial today in Manhattan were lawmakers who are all about disrupting legislative business & have no issue w/embarrassing their own party on the #House floor. It included many #HouseFreedomCaucus members who have frozen the chamber for days on end, most recently voting down their party’s own rules as an act of protest.
What the fuck have Americans got to “make up their minds” about?
It’s democracy or dictatorship.
CHOOSE ONE.
It’s not that hard…. SMH #vote#votebluehttps://vote.org
“Xi is a brilliant man. If you went all over Hollywood to look for somebody to play the role of President Xi, you couldn't find it. There's nobody like that. The look, the brain, the whole thing” —donald trump 4/11/2023
Reporter: #Trump says #China has been eating our lunch. What’s your response?
May 12, 2017 – Donald Trump shared highly classified information with the Russian foreign minister and Russian ambassador at a WH meeting. The disclosure jeopardized the identity of a source that had infiltrated the Islamic State—an extremely sensitive piece of information. Trump had, “revealed more information to the Russian Ambassador than we’ve shared with our own allies,” said a US official in The Washington Post.
Someone said it's important say this publicly in the US: so I will. (And I think each of us should, online and to friends)
This November I will vote for Biden.
I would regard not voting for Biden, particularly in: PA, OH, MI, WI, IN, IL,VA, GA, FL, AZ, ME, NC, NH, etc. as a huge error. I'd be disappointed to find out anyone I knew didn't vote. It's one of a long list of things we need to do. We can't skip it.
And still? We deserve better choices, and in the future we shall have them.
I was very against “lesser of two evils” voting until I was tying my shoes to go vote the morning of the 2016 election. I sat there staring at my shoelaces thinking “oh my god, Trump is completely unfit for the job.” I voted for Clinton that day and have consistently voted D since
"Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians, relative to other social media sites—it’s overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts." — Mitt Romney
It's wild how he so casually says the quiet part out loud. The government is literally trying to stifle free speech and crush TikTok in order to quell pro-Palestinian content. :neofox_what: I've been saying this for a while because the urgency to ban TikTok didn't make sense otherwise, but people kept saying I need to take my tinfoil hat off. Well, here's a ranking senator talking to the secretary of state saying exactly that.
The government wants to crush the first amendment to prop up Zionism. Fascism is firmly bipartisan in America.
For those losing their heads over today's actions by Judge Cannon, take a deep breath. This was always going to happen. The writing has been on the wall since Judge Cannon was drawn for the case. Getting all worked up about it is only going to make you crazy and desperate. The way we will rid ourselves of this menace is at the polls in November.
For a sober discussion on this topic this exchange today between @Teri_Kanefield and @JonChevreau is highly recommended:
@Teri_Kanefield Another EXCELLENT blog post. TY as always Teri. The #GOP#GQP has fully politicized women's rights, especially the right to choose. #VoteBlue
Pregnant women in Missouri, Texas, and Arkansas aren't allowed to divorce. For many reasons, this is terrible for abused women.
So, how is it that women keep voting for Republicans? How much abuse is needed to get these same women to make decisions for their own good, and for the good of their progeny?
I just signed up to write #postcards to voters for the first time! Registration just opened up to write postcards for elections in 11 states, which is good timing because my chest feels tight with election dread today.
They send you the postcards for FREE and ask you to mail them to voters in October (so plenty of time to write them). If this is something you’d be interested in, here’s a link with more information:
What emerged in 2 interviews w/ #Trump, & conversations w/more than a dozen of his closest advisers & confidants,were the outlines of an imperial presidency that would reshape #America & its role in the world. To carry out a #deportation operation designed to remove >11M people from the country…he would be willing to build migrant detention camps [#ConcentrationCamps] & deploy the #US#military…
