If you’ve ever loved someone with dementia this is going to make you cry. But also really feel. Feeling is good. ❤️

@stephanpastis Loved seeing you in DC last night! Needed some laughter these days:)

BUT WHAT DOES WOODY ALLEN THINK!?!?

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: In an unhinged rant, Trumper Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene demands that the January 6 insurrectionists who just got historic sentences receive a full pardon for the violent, treasonous actions that they committed on Donald Trump’s behalf.

In her rant, Greene complained that “Proud Boys organizer Joseph Biggs sentenced to 17 years by U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly,” and declared that “January 6ers need to be pardoned” because “they’ve been persecuted enough.”

Greene conveniently left out the fact that Joseph Biggs is a “Proud Boys Lieutenant” who was found guilty of seditious conspiracy against the United States of America — and ordered his Proud Boy soldiers to violently attack Capitol Police — sending over a hundred officers to the hospital.

She also left put the fact that she helped Trump orchestrate the deadly insurrection — and should be criminally indicted herself.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Marjorie Taylor Greene is a traitor — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Marjorie Taylor Greene for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX

Since President @JoeBiden and I took office, we have helped create more than 13 million new jobs—that's more jobs created in two and a half years than any presidency has created in four years.

Republicans:
‘𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘜𝘬𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘸𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺!’

Hungry kid: I’m starving!
Republicans:
‘𝘍𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘧𝘧.’

Veterans: We need more medical care! ‘𝘍𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘧𝘧’.’

New mother: I need help getting formula for my baby!
‘𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥?’

They say it’s “𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵”.
When it’s anything but.

President Biden on the student loan ruling: "The hypocrisy of Republican elected officials is stunning. They had no problem with billions in pandemic-related loans to businesses – including hundreds of thousands and in some cases millions of dollars for their own businesses. And those loans were forgiven. But when it came to providing relief to millions of hard-working Americans, they did everything in their power to stop it."

One of the Central Park 5 just got elected to the New York City council, even as Donald Trump prepares to go on criminal trial. What a time to be alive

BREAKING: The Cuban restaurant in Miami that hosted Donald Trump’s post-arraignment campaign stop is hit with devastating news as its longtime Cuban customers launch a boycott against it for hosting “a criminal who endangered our national security.”

But it gets even better…

The leaders of the boycott blasted Trump, declaring that, “It’s not as if he was charged with breaking a dish in the White House. He was charged with putting the national security of the United States in danger.”

One of the leaders, who migrated to Miami from Cuba to flee Castro’s regime, declared that the restaurant hosting Trump was “an insult to the country that took us in.”

Another longtime Cuban regular of the restaurant, Versailles restaurant in Little Havana, declared, “I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go back there again. Trump is not just a regular politician. He’s a criminal It was all for show and it was a betrayal. He claims to be anti-communist, but in every other way, he’s a wannabe dictator.”

Another Cuban regular took aim at Trump and his supporters, declaring that, “Trump’s supporters look like they’re possessed. We’ve seen these ‘rallies’ before. Fidel Castro did it.”

Please retweet and ❤️ if you support this boycott — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $1.3 million raised from 3,400 of its users. If you want to own a small piece of what is quickly becoming the “next big thing” in social media, here is the link to do so, https://t.co/7S6ULL2pfG. You can invest as little as $100 — or as much as you’d like. Here’s the link to download the new Tribel app that Elon Musk is so afraid of: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp

Who was president in 2019 again?

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

“Yesterday I was visiting my son's school.

I see a bright colored bench in the yard. I asked if this was the only place to sit.

- And he said to me, ′′ No, that's the bench of friends. When someone is lonely or can't find a play partner, they'll sit there and others invite them to play with them."

- I tell him I thought this was great, and I asked him if he used it himself?

- He says: ′′ Yes at the beginning of the year when I was new here.

I sat there and another student came to invite me to play with him. This made me happy. And now when I see someone sitting there, I also invite them to play."

What a great idea on mutual aid and kindness to implement in all playgrounds!

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

The horrible precedent isn't that Trump was indicted. The horrible precedent is that we had a president who repeatedly broke the law.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

“Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in aisle ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.

Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.

When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.

Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able.... Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a sh*t about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and geez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.”

This Sunday night is the second of Sivan, the yartzeit for my family members who perished shortly after their arrival to Auschwitz. I didn't expect that this week I would also have to publicly defend my father's name and life's work. https://t.co/67mZDHJDTs

Ashli Babbitt stormed the Capitol.
They martyred her.
Kyle Rittenhouse killed two unarmed men.
They heroized him.
Daniel Penny choked a homeless man to death on the NYC subway.
They’re fundraising for him.
Donald Trump called Mexicans “rapists”.
They deified him.
If you want to know who Republicans are - look at their heroes.
That will tell you everything you need to know.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

The very same Republicans who banned a book about seahorses because it was “too racy” for kids want someone who brags about sexual assault to be president.
