The larger picture is one of far-right violence aimed at imposing a white supremacist theocracy on the country, with the mainstream media normalizing and denying it.

If you think Americans won't stand for this then tell me, where's the red line? When are the good people of this country going to start standing up against #fascism.

US national debt = $30.9 trillion

Trump's share = $7.8 trillion

More than 25% of the ENTIRE national debt in the history of America was run up by Donald Trump, with a GOP-led Congress agreeing to it.

Now they want YOU to pay for it by cutting Social Security and Medicare.

“Estimates are that emergency housing for #migrants will cost the US Government $4 billion over the next year.”

The US Population is 340 million. That’s about $11.76 per citizen per year. My family of five is happy chip in our $60 plus another $60 to cover a poor family’s share.

Firearms are the #1 cause of homicide among law enforcement. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Universal background checks are a proven solution to prevent gun deaths and are supported by +90% of Americans, including most gun owners.

To have the best economy in the world, you've got to have the best infrastructure in the world.

That's why we're making historic investments to get America moving again – all while creating good jobs and using American materials.

And, folks, it’s about damn time.

#Christofascists spend all their time and energy trying to remake the world in their image, and no time or energy trying to fix themselves. You'd think by now they'd realize that the common denominator in all their problems is them. But they're incapable of introspection, and honest self-examination. They don't even entertain the notion that they could be wrong. This is a glaring example of the destructive, crippling consequences of religion.

In Marjorie Traitor-Greene's mind, mass murderers and literal traitors are nowhere near as bad as loud protestors. Why is the media continuing to cover this ridiculous hag, and give her a platform to amplify her disgusting rhetoric?

I'm sick of republicans' HYPOCRISY & lies.

RNC complaining that President Biden was on vacation. Lie. He was giving a commencement address at D.C. Howard University. President Bidens weekend trips home in 2 1/2 YEARS have cost the taxpayer about $3million TOTAL

$1,700,000,000. defendant Trump

If you’re angry, good! I’m angry too. But I’m not going to sit around allowing my anger to turn inward, making me small, bitter, fearful and hateful. Because that would be giving up my personal power and freedom to others. I’m not going to curl up in a ball defeated and crying, I’m going to stare my anger in the face and love it. Because my anger is going to fuel a mission.

I don’t see CNN giving him a free commercial or much other coverage of this. Good stuff, though.

One of the tallest hurdles for better social media may be the apparent human allergy to citing sources for asserted facts.

An idea is not a fact until it has a reputable source.

Beyond labeling misinformation, how can the design of a social system strongly encourage its members to cite sources for their claims?

When that question finds a satisfactory answer, misinformation will also become more readily apparent for anyone who wants to learn the facts (or lack thereof) behind popular opinions.

“All we need is one Republican to step up.”

One day after he vetoed the state’s “monstrous” 12-week abortion ban, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper is stepping up his pressure campaign to find one GOP lawmaker to help him save abortion rights. #velshi

Despite CNN’s shameful claims about DJT’s “traditional” campaign, he is not a “traditional” candidate in any way.

And given his past, he never will be.

Stop the nonsense.
Stop normalizing this.
Nothing about his candidacy is normal.

MAGA House Republicans' wish list would cut crucial programs to pay for handouts for the ultra-wealthy.

Over 1 million seniors could lose services like Meals on Wheels.

For some folks it's their only healthy meal each day.

I stand with our seniors.
