Trump isn’t a Russian asset—he and Putin are ideological allies.
Both Putin and Trump want to end competitive elections, the rule of law and individual rights, so they can rob from the taxpayers and enrich themselves and their friends without any consequences.

Parker Molloy literally said unprompted she likes authoritarianism and dictatorships and thinks they're great. She's trash, nobody's required to feel bad that Erin Honecker blocks you.

I wish people would stop living up to the worst conservative caricatures of progressives. Calling anyone who wants Talerico to win a bigot is so stupid.

1/ Want to know why this war keeps grinding on while families are killed and Americans are squeezed at the pump? Follow the money. Exxon and Chevron made $26.5 billion in one quarter. War is hell for ordinary people. For Big Oil, it is a business model. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Pretending the days after Sept. 11, 2001 were some kind of gauzy Hallmark special when we came together as a country is nauseating and ahistorical. The country went completely insane and has not recovered

On this of all days, I'm so thankful that NYC has a mayor who is a decent, thoughtful and respectful person. You are the perfect person to lead the commemoration and set the appropriate tone.
My thoughts are with everyone for whom today is so difficult, with huge respect and empathy for you all.

RH sent me to some doozies. Funniest was the Sharp International criminal bankruptcy. Herbert, Lawrence & Bernard Spitz borrowed $60M from three insurance companies to buy Sharp, a watch importer & promptly stole everything that wasn't nailed down...

Dear Black athletes and celebrities…
You cannot preach Black excellence, Black wealth, financial literacy, generational wealth, and “giving back to the community” while turning around and selling that same community degenerate gambling bullshit for a check.

Lee’s seemingly dignified stoicism during and after the war comes from the fact that simply by serving the Confederacy and being a competent leader he’d already achieved the only thing in life he really gave a shit about: being loved & admired by the most depraved elite class America has ever known.

1/ If you feel exhausted, frozen, or unable to keep fighting, that does not mean you stopped caring.
Your nervous system may be responding exactly as prolonged, uncontrollable stress trains it to respond.

True crime has really just broken people’s brains. Millions of people perpetually worried that they’re at acute risk of vanishingly rare crimes, convinced we should curtail civil liberties as a result. A generation who thinks of accusing strangers of heinous crimes as simple entertainment
