💉Paying attention & getting angrier each day. Briefly a Republican but never again. Why are we letting these greedy white supremacists destroy our country?
If we go to war again, I would like to see every man or woman who owns an assault weapon, regardless of age, be automatically conscripted. The second amendment is about defending our country after all.
Happy Fourth — brought to you by immigrants:
Barbecue (originally Taino)

@TheMaineWonk So let’s remove Federal funding for education,
put an anti-public education person in charge, and give the states total control. Can the red states’ educational achievements get any lower?
We need to keep telling this story:
“My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night.
A man came up to her and started talking to her.
A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”
How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!
Side note: She felt safe and did not remove the lid, but let them know.
She said the whole team was watching over her the rest of the time she was there.💚
Thank you to Starbucks for having a great team.”
BREAKING: Superstar comedian host John Oliver hilariously offers corrupt Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas $1 million a year if he will resign from the court — a perfect solution given the man's insane greed.
"Lot on your plate right now," said Oliver. "From stripping away women’s rights to hearing Jan. 6 cases, you definitely shouldn’t be hearing two potentially helping rollback decades of federal regulations."
The remarks came during the premiere of the eleventh season of Oliver's show "Last Week Tonight."
During the segment, Oliver shredded Thomas for making the lives of Americans "demonstrably worse" and promised him a new luxury RV — a reference to the sweetheart loan deal he received to buy a 40-foot luxury motor coach from a wealthy "friend."
"So that’s the offer," Oliver went on. "$1 million a year, Clarence. And a brand new condo on wheels. And all you have to do in return is sign the contract and get the fuck off the Supreme Court. Talk it over with your totally best friend in the whole world. Because the clock starts now. Thirty days, Clarence … Let’s do this!"
Thomas's blatant corruption has been well-documented. He has been receiving all manner of gifts, luxury trips, and bribes for years. The man views the Supreme Court as a moneymaking endeavor, not as a sacred responsibility.
"I think you’re thinking, what would my friend say if I take this offer?" said Oliver. "Will they judge me as they sit in their boardrooms and mega yachts and Hitler shrines? Will they still treat me to luxury vacations and sing songs about me off their phones? Well, that’s the beauty of friendship, Clarence. If they’re real friends, they’ll love you no matter what your job is. So I guess this might be the perfect way to find out who your real friends actually are."
Perfection! Oliver should be commended for pushing this issue back into the public consciousness.
Clarence Thomas is selling the American people out for a cheap buck every day — and destroying this country in the process. In a just world, he would be impeached and prosecuted for his behavior.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Clarence Thomas should be removed from the court — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

I will never understand why MAGA continues to support a man who calls them stupid and proves their stupidity over and over as they send their hard-earned $$$ to pay for Trump’s legal expenses.
What more proof is there?The GOP is fine with our leaders becoming fascist with absolute power. MAGA is ok with fascism.Wait until anyone who questions Trump is imprisoned or executed, even his supporters. He wants to be a dictator like those he idolizes- Putin, Kim Jong, Mugabe
We cannot allow justice to not be served just because the GOP/MAGA threatens violence. Threats to our country cannot be tolerated.#StopTrumpToSaveTheWorld
