To force a rape victim to carry to term and give birth is to partake in the rape. It's complicit. It's perpetrating a deeply sadistic act on top of a previous deeply sadistic act under the guise of religious piety. And, in siding with the rapist, it facilitates further raping.

“I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions,”

“I do not want my picture in your offices. The president is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.”

Donald Trump is a convicted felon awaiting his sentencing. When he threatened Liz Cheney, he violated Arizona state law and committed a felony. In doing so, he also violated the terms of his release. Revoke it. Now. Trump must be taken into custody.

Vote blue to save the world. It's not hyperbole, it's reality.

Anyone who shoves aside a prime minister on camera at a NATO meeting doesn't give a damn about shoving an employee at Arlington National Cemetery. Hold Donald Trump responsible.

"I'm outraged and disgusted by my brother’s gaudy and obscene embrace of Donald Trump. I completely disavow and separate and disassociate myself from Robert Kennedy Jr. and his flagrant and inexplicable efforts to desecrate, trample, and set fire my father's memory."

Kerry Kennedy

RFK Jr says one of the primary reasons that he’s endorsing Trump is because of Trump's anti-Ukraine views.

The guy who's uncle stood up to Khrushchev just proved to us that he's kowtowing to Putin.

"Vance wants 10-year-olds to have babies.

Walz wants 10-year-olds to have lunch."

Vance's idea that people with children should have more voting power hinges on his belief that only those adults with progeny care about the distant future. No "JD", it's only the people with *empathy* who will care – and having children is not a prerequisite for having empathy.

BREAKING: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY, CD-14) has just filed articles of impeachment against 'supreme' court 'justices' Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.

"It's time for us to play chess – not checkers. It's about making decisions that will affect us as human beings! ... Look it up – they are attacking our most vulnerable citizens. The 'Project 2025' plan is not a game! Look it up!"

"The United States Supreme Court was stolen from the American people in broad daylight by dark money."

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

When Trump’s unchecked, his falsehoods freely spread,
And journalism’s silence leaves truth dead.
In debates void of facts, his lies take flight,
Complicity in darkness, not in light.
We must, with voices strong, expose the sham,
And call it out aloud, or truth be damned.

Trump’s loudest cries of falsehoods cast on Joe,
Doth signal much, methinks, his own to show.
Accusers oft reveal their hidden sin,
Their ranting words a mirror to what's within.
For years, he’s sought his solace in the dust,
In Adderall and Coke, he placed his trust.

Ivanka's ill-gotten gains

With gilded charm, she climbed the ladder high,
In power’s grasp, her conscience bid goodbye.
Her father’s name unlocked the vaults of gold,
A fortune gained through influence so bold.
Unearned, she reaps what others cannot see,
A grifter’s tale of brazen treachery.

"So – just to be clear, the Supreme Court wants nothing to be regulated except for women's and girl's bodies?"

Jena Friedman

"In four years you don't have to vote, okay? In four years don't vote, I don't care."

Donald Trump

The nihilism and naked authoritarianism in this statement is astounding. If Trump is in power, he'll control the vote. That's why he doesn't care.

Demand to hold Trump accountable for the COVID deaths for which he is responsible – at least 480,000 (40%) people in the U.S.

Hey President Biden, during the debate next week, please ask Donald Trump if he's in favor of having the 'Ten Commandments' posted in public school classrooms. When he answers with a word-salad "yes", ask him to recite them all.
