One of Code Pink’s activists was arrested just for attending a Congressional hearing. This is unacceptable.

The House passed a bill that would only make things worse for orgs. Join me in sending a letter to tell the Senate—Block the Nonprofit-Killing Bill!

Trump is the biggest threat to democracy in the US, but this is a sad reminder that climate change is still the biggest threat to the entire world. People are suffering and dying due to the heat and it’s destroying infrastructure. And this is just the beginning. #ClimateEmergency

Is it possible that the reason Biden can put a "pause" on weapons shipments to Israel is that we've already provided them more than enough bombs and munitions to destroy Rafah and they don't need any more right now?

Killing journalists, shutting down and raiding news organizations. It’s almost as if the Israeli government knows they’re guilty of committing war crimes and don’t want the world to see them do it. #AlJazeera #GazaGenocide

The mainstream media is trying a new tactic —

It’s totally okay if you’re against Biden’s policy of funding Israel’s war crimes in Gaza. But you don’t need to let a genocide get in the way of voting for him!

#GenocideBiden #CEASEFIRE_NOW

Biden must have seen my posts (lol) & finally addressed student protests on campuses.

I disagree w/his take, but even if we go by what he said it means in almost every case so far, **pro-Zionists & the police** are the ones who’ve caused “chaos”. Why aren’t they being held accountable?

Is Biden going to condemn the police's actions & academic sanctions against peaceful protestors across the US?

Biden & so many colleges are on the wrong side of history. They refuse to listen to the growing chorus of Americans demanding an end to US support of #Genocide.

I'm so sick of corruption in Washington. Biden actually tries to do something good, making refunds easier for passengers w/canceled or delayed flights.

But right away the airline lobby—and Congress members they've bought off—are trying to pass a bill to stop it. Via @levernews.bsky.social

This could either go well or very, very badly

If some rando can go after a local principal by altering his voice with AI, and almost get away with it, we could be in for a wild ride the next 6 months for elections.

MAGA's been crying "fake news" for years, now they can cry "fake recordings" — and may not even be lying.

Biden is in denial and heading us towards four (or more) years of Trump. #PleaseDropOut #CeasefireNOW #GenocideJoeBiden

Cenk Uygur is the only candidate left who supports a ceasefire. A vote for Cenk is a vote against Biden's blank check for Netanyahu's war on Gaza.

Send a message on Super Tuesday by voting for or writing in Cenk for president. #CenkForAmerica

Biden & the DNC have hijacked the primaries, including several states where Biden's the only name on the ballot. We won't be silenced. Every vote Biden doesn't get in the primaries is a vote demanding they listen to voters on the genocide in Gaza. #CeasefireNOW #cenkforamerica

Biden, where are you hiding? Why aren't you out campaigning?

If you can't even face Marianne Williamson, Cenk Uygur, & Dean Phillips in a debate during the primaries, how are you going to take on Trump in the general?!

Here's the 1st Democratic Presidential debate:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZwo...

Who the hell’s in charge of military decisions? Biden? Austin? Hicks?

This is kinda important with US-supported genocide raging in Gaza and increased attacks on & by US forces in the region.

Not to mention Trump+MAGA glorifying the Jan 6 insurrection going into election season.

Biden: I must run for president or else Trump will destroy our democracy!

Also Biden: I will give Trump an 8-month head start by not holding any campaign events between May and December!

Happy New Year everyone!

My New Years Resolution is to do what I can to stop a Biden v. Trump rematch. With Biden and Harris’s poll numbers in the 30s we’re headed for a disaster, and democracy itself is quite literally at risk this year.

We can do this!

Without downloading any new pics, what’s your energy going into 2024?

There’s a non-zero chance that Biden doesn’t give a damn about East Palestine Ohio because he thinks it’s being bombed by Israel.

Shocked but happy at this move. At least one elected Republican is apparently not a total transphobe. DeWine needs to talk to the other 99% of the GOP now, and a good number of ill-informed progressives…

Nikki Haley refuses again to criticize slavery. Are we sure there aren't three k's in the name Nikki?

The 14th Amendment, in the news because of Trump, also gives naturalized citizens the same rights as natural-born citizens.

Cenk Uygur has a right to run under the Equal Protection Clause.

The DNC needs to stop propping up Biden by kicking candidates off the ballot! cenkforamerica.com

My wife is going with a friend to a performance of Handel’s Messiah tonight.

I told her “Spoiler alert: he’s resurrected!”

She didn’t think it was as funny as I did.

Fixed this Washington Post headline.

The resemblance is scary.

And the Dems are running Joe Biden? The guy polling at 33% approval?!

The Dem Party's kicking candidates off the ballot in several states.

We need someone with the stamina & determination to defeat Trump. Open up the primary & hold debates!

Trump keeps saying he'll be a dictator but only on day 1 (wink, wink).

He's praised Putin, Kim Jong Un & Xi Jinping—who even Biden called a dictator.

He's talked about rounding up his opponents.

And his supporters are eating it up. If anything, it makes him more popular. [2/3]

This is not a drill. Trump will institute a fascist regime if elected.

He's saying he'll use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to remove immigrants. He's repeatedly said they're "poisoning the blood" of the US.

He calls political opponents "vermin".

Both of these are right out of Hitler's playbook.

C'est une bonne maxime !

Most Democratic voters oppose Israel's slaughter of Palestinians. But Dems are doing what they're best at — ignoring the will of their voters and going towards what their deep-pocketed donors want.

The Democratic Party not allowing anyone to challenge Biden is unacceptable. They won't let other candidates on the ballot, and Biden won't even debate anyone! Apparently, the Democrats' plan for saving democracy is by destroying it first.

100%. Just because they can decide they're going to choose Biden without input from voters doesn't mean they have to. It's be nice if the Democrats were trying to fix the system instead of just making things worse.

I haven't decided yet who I'm voting for in the primaries, but it sure ain't Biden.

Here's another reason—the DNC's rigged the Florida primary by pre-deciding that Biden's the only name on the ballot. No other candidates, including Williamson or Uygur.

Now that election denier MAGA Mike Johnson is Speaker of the House, Trump’s takeover of the GOP is essentially complete.

At least things are clear now. You’re either a Republican, or you’re for democracy. You can’t be both.
