I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.
It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!
Just resharing this.
That sound you hear is irony dying.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
"No one voted for this!" said the people who voted for this.
@joyannreid.bsky.social , your pronunciation of Spanish words tonight was on point! I loved the People's State of the Union that you and @katiephang.bsky.social hosted!
¡Gracias!
Schiff: I've not missed the State of the Union in the 25 years I've been in Congress, but we have never had a president violate the constitution every day with seeming impunity.
We can't treat this as some new normal, so I'm here boycotting...
HERO 🔥
And I don’t want to hear shit about a censure vote against this man.
Rep. Al Greene was ejected from the State of the Union for the sign — “Black People Aren’t Apes.”
2026 State of the Union
For all those who didn't watch tonight, allow me to summarize:
The liar lied again.
Mostly I’m just embarrassed
He's a warrior. Two years in a row. Epic!!
I watched the People's State of the Union, and then Gov. Spanberger's response.
why are any of you watching the State of the Union when you could be walking into a screening of Nirvanna: The Band The Show The Movie right now like I am
Spanberger is evolving to meet the moment. She realizes where people are and moving there instead of playing milquetoast center.
Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
BREAKING: Al Green was just kicked out of the SOTU for the second year in a row to chants of USA.
He carried a sign that read “black people aren’t apes”.
Man I love this guy.
Another iconic photo for the history books.

I've been watching the People's State of the Union. I love this alternative to whatever BS is being said at the SOTU. Thanks for offering this opportunity for us.
Casar: He steals from working Americans to give to the rich. Donald Trump doesn't owe us a two-hour rambling speech. He owes the American people their money back.
🤣🤣🤣🙃
He's projecting.
Yes, he is delusional.
Donald Trump is now officially the least popular politician to hold office in the history of America.
Locked, loaded, plowing.
