--treason doth never prosper:
what's the reason?
why, if it prosper,
none dare call it treason.

Almost at 3K! Thank you everyone! 💙🦋
these days, i often think of myself as hanging on by a thread.
having just spent 15 mins trying to unhitch the threads anchoring a tag in my 2nd hand shirt, i realized that threads can be the very emblem of #resistance.
And while we’re at it, here’s our guide on how to best protect yourself at a protest.
Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.
oh my good lord, i was just hit with a truly terrible thought. what if the orange c*ckwomble is moving all those tanks into d.c. because he plans to deploy them?!
imagine if "leon" was a woman & a mother. people would be crawling over each other to declare her incompetent and an unfit parent for tripping her brains out in the white house, never mind telling her son to punch her in the face.
I can no longer say that I don't understand why this wasn't the end. And the children are still watching. #disability
It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.
Trump says using military force to “get Greenland” is on the table

i must employ this phrase ASAP & frequently.
I'll be on CNN at 9pm ET with Kaitlan Collins to discuss today's news of the astonishing security failure at the White House.
Hegseth needs to go under oath before Congress ASAP. Republicans need to at least try to pretend to put country over party for once.
I thought the comments by the parents of the little girl who died from measles ("she's better off in heaven") set the mark for hideous parental commentary. But I clearly underestimated Leon.
World’s worst parent and it’s a high bar.
Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Thank you, @mcbride.house.gov for your grace under pressure. You inspire us all!
We know you see us, all of us.
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde stands in front of a large group of people, her hands stretched out to protect them. Behind her are people from all over the US, including trans kids, undocumented immigrants, other LGBT folks, other marginalized peoples whether by race, ability, gender, cultural background, religion, and they all stand on a landscape that looks like the topographical map of the US, with the Gulf of Mexico in front of them. On the other side of the Gulf, at the bottom of the picture are Trump and his administration and billionaire pals. The Gulf of Empathy is what really separates them.

Thank you, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for using your moment at the inauguration to ask for mercy, to speak for those who are afraid and vulnerable, for all of us.

wonderful article on her influence on so many singer/songwriters in the current issue of @nodepression.bsky.social
chatgpt just told me that tr*mp was the former president of the u.s. when i questioned it, it replied that as of its february 2025, joe biden is the current president of the united states.
there must be a way to weaponize this statement.
“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.
DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
ICYMI— “9/11 community advocates warn of staffing cuts at federal health program… Spectrum News reached out to the Trump White House, they did not respond to a request for comment by deadline.”
