We're here now: 1% in full force, white men's revenge tour, war, and fascists rounding up people and staging a military parade.
And our own scholars, activists, journos, and randos still have knives out for a Black woman, Kamala Harris, knowing damn well what she was up against.

Reportedly, the agent in question was "behaving erratically" and "became irate" when hotel staff refused to reopen the bar beyond its normal hours. https://t.co/YzUDHJOxVh
If you’re keeping count, that’s four Starship explosions out of eight attempts—an impressive failure rate.
Elon’s philosophy seems to be the same for everything: blow it up, waste billions, and call it innovation.
@RepSwalwell@ChrisDJackson How dare you. How fucking dare you. When Trump's gestapo rounds up every Democrat serving in office, are you going to change teams? You're sounding like you would.
Sacred cowries are used by millions in Africa and in the diaspora for divination. May we all be protected from the evil that has been set in motion. Ashe.
Our nation relies on dedicated, selfless public servants every day. They are the lifeblood of our democracy.
Yet alarmingly, public servants have been subjected to ongoing threats and intimidation for faithfully discharging their duties.
In certain cases, some have even been threatened with criminal prosecutions, including General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, and the members and staff of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. These public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions.
General Milley served our nation for more than 40 years, serving in multiple command and leadership posts and deploying to some of the most dangerous parts of the world to protect and defend democracy. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he guided our Armed Forces through complex global security threats and strengthened our existing alliances while forging new ones.
For more than half a century, Dr. Fauci served our country. He saved countless lives by managing the government’s response to pressing health crises, including HIV/AIDS, as well as the Ebola and Zika viruses. During his tenure as my Chief Medical Advisor, he helped the country tackle a once-in-a-century pandemic. The United States is safer and healthier because of him.
On January 6, 2021, American democracy was tested when a mob of insurrectionists attacked the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a fair and free election by force and violence. In light of the significance of that day, Congress established the bipartisan Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol to investigate and report upon the facts, circumstances, and causes of the insurrection. The Select Committee fulfilled this mission with integrity and a commitment to discovering the truth. Rather than accept accountability, those who perpetrated the January 6th attack have taken every opportunity to undermine and intimidate those who participated in the Select Committee in an attempt to rewrite history, erase the stain of January 6th for partisan gain, and seek revenge, including by threatening criminal prosecutions.
I believe in the rule of law, and I am optimistic that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics. But these are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing. Baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families. Even when individuals have done nothing wrong—and in fact have done the right thing—and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage reputations and finances.
That is why I am exercising my authority under the Constitution to pardon General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the Members of Congress and staff who served on the Select Committee, and the U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee. The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense. Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.
For me, the People’s House has always been about welcoming everyone.
America, thank you for trusting me with this sacred place. I’ve loved opening the doors to the Oval Office wider than ever these past four years.
The people with the most power right now- Trump, Elon, Stephen Miller, etc- are the most evil, loathsome people on the planet. I don't think the country is prepared for what's coming.
Deeply honored to join @POTUS for an Armed Forces Farewell at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. On behalf of the entire Department of Defense, we are grateful for your love for our troops and salute your service to the republic that we defend.
50,000+ Jews once lived in Yemen.
Today, they have all been ethnically cleansed.
Most Yemenite Jews came as refugees to Israel, where their culture - and stunning wedding style - is still alive.

All of this! Every single Democrat coming out and criticizing @VP who literally created a campaign over night and fought for all of us as she stood up to Trump in a way few have is on my list to never support. This as telling as the world is old and shame on you all!
🎄 Take a moment to watch this heartwarming Christmas video from President Biden.
A beautiful reminder of the normalcy, kindness, and decency his administration has brought.
We’re truly going to miss him.
The DNC will be electing new officers.
We need to let DNC delegates know where we stand.
James Zogby is running to be vice-chair. Zogby is a long-time anti-abortion zealot.
Giving him a DNC post would be a slap in the face to every Democratic woman.

as journalists grapple with their own credibility, worth noting their hysteria over Hunter pardon has mysteriously disappeared now that Republicans’ star witness pleads guilty to lying under oath.
