The Trump regime just keeps creating Democratic heroes. Senator Padilla the most recent.

And Trump's birthday parade was the most low-energy...

After more than 11M No Kings protestors showed up across the country (don't know if this number is verified) vs only about 10K for Trump's birthday parade (they planned for 200-400K), this image from de Adder has never been more appropriate, and Trump has never been weaker.

Trump is working to become a dictator. Republicans' entire job is to spread lies and Trump's fascist propaganda.

Anyone who can't see the need to stand up to this is a hopeless collaborator. The choice will never be more clear. https://www.nokings.org

Perhaps the most unintentionally funny tweet about the Battle of the Raging Narcissists is this one trying to frame it as a debate.
I've seen more debate-like exchanges from middle school girls who like the same boy. We all have.

Betting on anything that depends on Elon's 'genius' is a sure way to kiss your money goodbye.

The US is now a terrorist state.

The perception that there has been less activism in 2025 is simply wrong, a function of lazy and shuttered corporate- and billionaire journalism. The Harvard Crowd Counting Consortium noted that in 2025 “our research shows that street protests today are far more numerous and frequent than skeptics might suggest.” In fact, “since 22 January, we’ve seen more than twice as many street protests than took place during the same period eight years ago.”

Sometimes I am really proud to live in NJ! First Booker, now Sherrill.

Ah! So, mostly just the people most likely to question Matt's decisions.

Re the requirement for suits in the Oval Office: Were I a congressman, I would sponsor a bill requiring members of Trump's cabinet and visiting GOP legislators to wear an organ grinder monkey suit while in the Oval Office, not to be considered complete without the traditional cap.

I'm a little worried about a scenario where the SSA decides I'm dead (and stops putting my hard-earned benefits into my bank account). A couple of months ago, my daughter informed me, after doing an online ancestry search, that I was dead. I looked, and sure enough, I was shown as having died. Took a week or so to correct it; I imagine it would take longer to convince the government.

Fascists start by marginalizing and brutalizing the most vulnerable populations, and work their way up from there as the general population accepts it. Fascism feeds on racism, misogyny, and othering.

Example: Musk referring to people who disagree with him as NPCs (non-player characters) is an example of othering, no different than Nazis in 1939 referring to jews as vermin.

"Trump and Elon Musk don’t need Putin to tell them what to do—they already want the same things. They’re trying to create the same kind of society: one that is too ignorant to see clearly what’s happening in time to stop it, and so afraid that people are willing to believe there’s no point in even trying."

@FranceskaMann

If the Democrats are gonna get any money from me, they're going to have to get angry and forceful in their resistance to Trump, Elon, and Putin, et al.

Kudos to AOC and a few others, but for the most part, Democrats seem to be keeping their heads down.

FYI, CrowdStrike's share price of ~ $415 currently exceeds its high of ~ $392 prior to the the July incident.

Much of nazi symbolism is based on the Roman empire.

So...claiming Musk's gesture was a Roman salute isn't the smart argument nazis think it is.

#WorldRichestAsshole

It's becoming clearer and clearer that we can't have a real democracy until billionaires have no more political power than ordinary folks. That means getting big money out of politics, for starters.
