"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

-Theodore Roosevelt

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people. In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another.

Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example. May we continue to heed his call to “never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.”

This would seem to run afoul of the First Amendment in several important ways.

World's richest man wants you to never be able to retire.

"To afford the median-priced home of $433,100, Americans need an annual income of roughly $166,600. However, the median household earns just $78,538," per FORTUNE.

"World's richest man seizes control of U.S. Treasury and directs payments be made in accordance with his personal preferences" is so far beyond a constitutional crisis that I don't even know what term to use.

Just going to continue emphasizing that this, detaining a bunch of people who haven’t been convicted of a crime and incarcerating them en masse in a fortified location against their will because they are part of a specific ethnicity or other group, is a concentration camp

Trump: billionaire
Elon Musk, DOGE: billionaire
Vivek Ramaswamy, DOGE: billionaire
Linda McMahon, Education Sec: billionaire
Doug Burgum, Interior Sec: billionaire
Howard Lutnick, Commerce Sec: billionaire
Scott Bessent, Treasury Sec: billionaire
Charles Kushner, Amb France: billionaire
Warren Stephens, Amb UK: billionaire
Jared Isaacman, NASA: billionaire
Kelly Loeffler, SBA: billionaire
Steve Witkoff, Middle East: billionaire

But sure, these are the people who are focused on the cost of eggs. Got it.

[TexasBlue @MakeTexasBlue22]

So let me get this right, people pay for Social Security their entire lives through payroll taxes only for a South African billionaire immigrant to come along and tell those American citizens they aren't allowed to receive money from a system they paid into because he wants to be taxed less?

[Human☮🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🌊 @4HumanUnity]

So the guy raking in $71 million an hour since Election Day gets to decide if your $1,900 Social Security check, something you’ve paid your whole life for, is "too much" and better spent on his shiny space toys? How detached from reality one must be to buy that?

i hold extremist political views such as "people should have their basic needs met" and "war crimes are bad" and "we should not accelerate the apocalypse for the profits of a few oil companies"

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well.

Neither do you.

Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

[Tommy Santos @tommysantos14]

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.

And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.

When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.

What then?

Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?

You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.

You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.

You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.

You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.

You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.

You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.

You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.

You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.

You just made women less safe and less free.

You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.

You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!

You just ushered in Fascism.

Because your cereal costs more.

Congratulations.

@nypost Some of these replies really weaken my faith in community. He is a PERSON. All of you better pray to never be disfigured or disabled because it can happen to anyone in an instant

I know we laugh these off but this is not ok. We cannot live like this. We can’t make this seem normal to our children. All of our hours afterwork just physically and mentally resting and prepping to be ready… for work. Until we die. Please unionize. End capitalism. 4hr day now.
