On the Right, the only definition of “freedom” that matters is the freedom to impose a reactionary “natural” order on others and subjugate all those who dare to deviate.

It manifests most blatantly in this: The “freedom” to curtail the freedom of others and force them to undergo demeaning, cruel rituals.

Um, slight problem here. Just 30 tons of explosives missing somewhere between Wyoming and California.

Move along now, nothing to see here.

When Republicans ‘joke’ about exterminating Democrats, we must take them seriously.

A quiet shot across the bow of school districts that egregiously and without due process remove #books and thereby create a hostile environment for #students of marginalized backgrounds: federal Education Department ruling in Georgia case. Book removals also may have violated student civil rights. #FirstAmendment #FreePress #FreedomToRead #censorship

“8 more women are joining a lawsuit against the state of #Texas, saying the state's abortion bans put their health or lives at risk while facing pregnancy-related medical emergencies.

We don't need to ban TikTok. Just have every parent sign up and post nagging comments on their kid's videos. Reply mom and reply dad can be the new reply guy. Kids usage metrics would drop so fast you'd think it was owned by Zuckerberg.

Odd timing from someone who says we need to decrease the deficit if we pay our bills.

The law that was passed that adds IRS agents reduces the deficit by $114bn.

Yet @tedcruz wants to undo the law and add $114bn to our deficit.

Hypocrite.

@RollingStone we're gonna need a new green book, aren't we. And a rainbow book...

Test Scores Reflect Media, Political Agendas, Not Student or Educational Achievement - A fair reading of data says no crisis and not miracle just a lot of people with no expertise trying to sell bad phonics only pedagogy. radicalscholarship.com/2023/05 via @plthomasEdD #privatization

OK, maybe #Trump can get away with shooting someone on 5th Ave., but what about a $2 million pardon bribery scheme?

Why was a scandal ignored for 28 months? And as Trump runs on a promise of 1/6 #pardons, can we curb this dictatorial power?

Fani Willis, the DA leading a major investigation into Trump, announced remote work days for most of her staff during the first 3 weeks of August

Judges in Atlanta are asked not to schedule trials for that time

The governor, state reps, state senators, the AG, the sec. of state, head of the GA GOP will be implicated

This will be a giant RICO case

and the new law to remove prosecutors won’t be able to stop Fani in time.

We’re watching history unfold.

Together, with the entire G7, we have Ukraine's back.

And, like I promised President Zelenskyy, we're not going anywhere.

Today, I announced the next tranche of U.S. security assistance to Ukraine – a package that includes more ammunition, artillery, armored vehicles to bolster Ukraine's battlefield abilities.

America stands with Ukraine.
