Donald Trump hates you.

[j @javierdunn]

Trump had a stroke and no one is talking about it thats crazy

[j @javierdunn]

If you think complaining about Biden is patriotic but complaining about Trump is “TDS” you might be a little bitch who is in love with a man who doesn’t even know you exist. 🫡

It’s wild to think that the guy who suggested injecting bleach to kill viruses and stared directly at the sun during a solar eclipse doesn’t understand how reflection and refraction work. 🤔 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤡

MacFarlane: What the historic preservationists are arguing is that the Reflecting Pool is supposed to be the color it’s always been. It’s supposed to be what they call achromatic—no color. Because when it doesn’t have color, it does a better job of reflecting…

It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.

From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.

To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.

Happy Pride, New York City.

Found a Republican unfit for his job

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

Found a Republican who supports the Trump $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded pot of money for convicted crooks and rioters

Rep Ralph Norman (R-SC) says Jan 6 was “made up”

I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ.

No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP)
No vote in Florida (+4 GOP)
No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP)
No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP)
No vote in Texas (+5 GOP)

Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.

MAGA has rigged the system.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The single largest form of theft in America is wage theft. $50 billion a year are stolen from American workers.

If a billionaire amasses their wealth by underpaying their full-time workers so severely that they must rely on food assistance and government programs to survive, then no, that wealth was not earned by one individual - it was a wealth transfer subsidized by underpaid American workers and the public who get stuck with the bill for large corporations free-riding off our systems.

The point is less about individual morality. It’s more about how our current economic reality of shattering inequality rewards screwing over workers and exploiting essential systems at scale.

We’re talking monopoly power. Rent-seeking. Wage theft. Profiteering. Stock buybacks. Destabilizing housing markets. Companies using SNAP/EBT to underwrite their wages. Massive government subsidies or contracts to corporations following lobbying and dark money in politics with little to no oversight or accountability.

Some people get enraged that I draw attention to this. That’s on them. Let them call me shrill, dumb, inexperienced, girly, uneducated - these folks will say anything to distract from or undercut the truth that working people are getting screwed, and giving people a fair shake means we must have a grown conversation about reigning in abuse of power.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Big Oil is making a $30 million windfall profit every HOUR by using the Iran War as an excuse to rip off commuters at the gas pump.

This year, Exxon will be spending $20 billion of its profits on stock buybacks.

We must end the Iran War and pass a windfall profits tax — NOW!

Last year, 52% of Harvard graduates went into finance, consulting or (big) tech. I was invited by students to talk about this waste of talent, and what we can do about it. Link in next tweet →

FLASH: Justice Dept is shutting down its investigation of Jerome Powell

"However I will not hesitate to restart a criminal investigation should the facts warrant doing so," says US Atty Jeanine Pirro

Opens door for Trump's nominee for Federal Reserve

Big win for Thom Tillis

[j @javierdunn]

Can we all just agree that our current president is a total piece of shit?

[j @javierdunn]

@HQNewsNow This guy sounds dumb as shit. Who is he?

[j @javierdunn]

This is called “getting out in front of it” and it’s Hollywood PR 101. Shit’s about to get weird.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Melania Trump: The lies linking me with Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. I've never been friends with Epstein. I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell. My email reply to Maxwell cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence.

If I lived in Maine I’d vote for this guy. But I don’t. So I’m spreading his message. Love you, Maine. Mean it.

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

They actually think filling our mailboxes with this garbage (instead of actually talking to voters) wins elections.

[j @javierdunn]

@StephenM It’s like everyone in this comment section is ADDICTED to fear. Like, are we really meant to believe that the greatest threat to our nation is … brown babies? Infants? Newborns? Who, theoretically, will vote to take my money … in 18yrs? WTF ARE U PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT??

wild to read that there was one -- one! -- air traffic controller last night at LaGuardia a time when the government is asking for $200 billion for Trump's vanity war https://t.co/tzHoE9EaeJ

The Trump admin has reassigned thousands of HSI agents to meet arrest quotas for undocumented immigrants set by Mr. Miller. Our NYT investigation found agents worked 1/3 fewer hours on child exploitation cases. They were also pulled off terrorism + national security cases

Elon Musk is an extremely skilled propagandist.
