Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Where has all the leadership gone?  If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment?  The “suspending indefinitely” of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation.  Maybe the Constitution should have said, “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one’s political or financial self-interest.” By-the-way, for the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN

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.”

@TheOnlyEsta Nope. And I like him. Nope.

Michael Jackson refused to perpetuate the whitewashed narrative of Kemet. Despite Steven Spielberg's refusal to support the production of the short film-music video, Michael Jackson stayed resolute

He personally financed his own film to create the classic "Do You Remember the Time."

Today, it remains the only authentic depiction of Kemet as it truly was

Micheal Jackson show-cased the greatness of Black Africans in ancient Egypt (Kemet), in the 90s!! This is the most accurate depiction of the Kemetyu Africans ever put in the mainstream media.

For the Magaidiots in the back, here are some facts:

- Donald Trump did not win this election in a “landslide”. He does not have a “mandate”. He won by one of the smallest margins in our history.

- Women are dying in red states with abortion bans because they are being denied the miscarriage medical care they need.

- January 6 was not peaceful, it was not patriotic, it was not legitimate political discourse or a tourist visit. It was a violent and deadly insurrection.

- Donald Trump is in fact an adjudicated rapist, a business fraud and a convicted felon. Just because he is now shielding himself behind the presidency, does not make any of that less true.

Now, I know that facts are about as useful to you as a dictionary, a truck that don’t have Nutz™, and a cousin-less dating pool, but they are nonetheless true.

BREAKING: New Election counts show majority of Americans didn't vote for Trump

An excellent thread

[Rep. Jacob Rosecrants ☀️ @jacobrosecrants]

And now, I present to y’all in a thread how @PamelaBrownCNN is all of us when the Supt. Ryan Walters opens his mouth:

First, she asks a thought-provoking question over what gives him the authority to force all schools to watch a video of him praying for Trump…

There’s been a lot of discussion about how young men are becoming isolated and radicalized.

Let me offer some perspective, as someone who was once a troubled young man.

[Taniel @Taniel]

A Wyoming judge just struck down WY's abortion bans.

Get this: Judge invoked a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... that was passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Just backfired.

When my bff and I were discussing religion and how I view Christianity and it's sects through a historical gaze, therefore I'm an "intellectual spiritual Catholic" I know I offended her. But she took it in stride.

[Alan Levinovitz @AlanLevinovitz]

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the people most excited to have the Bible — well, *a* Bible, more on that in a moment — back in schools are the ones least familiar with it.

You see, there's no way to get Bibles in school without flagrantly violating the Constitution.

No, not because of the "separation of Church and State." That's neither in the Constitution nor in American law. It was in a letter sent by Jefferson to a Connecticut Baptist association, and later cited in court decisions.

Great letter, wise sentiment from Jefferson, but not legally binding, and certainly not Constitutional.

No, understanding the reason this flagrantly violates the Constitution requires...a little knowledge of religion!

Let me explain:

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

We don't have to choose between the environment and the economy.

You can do both.

We've proven it.

[LeBron James @KingJames]

What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!

I often hear folks say, “Donald Trump sent me a check during the pandemic.”

I want to make sure you understand this: Congress sent you a check. By the way, Joe Biden also sent you a check during the pandemic, just like I gave people relief during the Great Recession. The difference is that we didn’t put our names on it – because it wasn’t about feeding our egos or advancing our politics, it was about helping people.

So don’t be giving him credit for that. And don’t give him your vote, either. There’s only one candidate in this election who cares about you, and that’s Kamala Harris.
