FUN FACT: Now that Trump has felonies on his criminal record, he won’t be allowed to own a gun (per federal law) and he must provide a DNA sample for New York’s crime databank (per state law).
@GavinNewsom Thank you Governor for combating the false claims being spread around X (Twitter).
It’s a shame that you have to spend time dealing with all the falsehoods going around at this time, but it is necessary.
Otherwise people will start to believe the lies.
The Court just DENIED Donald Trump’s request to postpone tomorrow’s sentencing by Judge Merchan. The Chief and Justice Barrett joined the three liberals. A brief paragraph sufficed to explain. The four dissenters (Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch) gave no reasons for siding with Trump. In truth, there were no reasons to give, just BS pseudo-arguments. This 5-4 split will recur often in the coming years.
It was an honor to break bread with so many powerful Black women leaders and to be recognized with the “Unbought and Unbossed” award.
While we continue the work of abolition and liberation, we must also be unapologetic and intentional about our joy.

While Donald Trump and Barry Loudermilk continue to spread malicious lies about the 1/6 Select Committee, Trump is trying yet again to hide evidence and suppress the truth. The Justice Department has obtained testimony and evidence from dozens of Trump’s former advisors and Vice President Pence showing the danger Trump poses. Now Trump is already doing what despots do— he is trying to conceal the truth and threatening to jail those who investigated him. The congressional report yesterday destroying Loudermilk’s fraudulent allegations shows the despicable malice behind Trump’s efforts. AG Garland now has a duty to release the Justice Department Report and prevent its evidence from being destroyed. The truth must prevail. The framers of our Constitution knew the lessons of history — that people led by men without character can quickly lose their freedom.
Betrayed: I stepped on my colleagues spilled blood, then I was covered on my own after repeatedly being assaulted by the same fkers who claim to support the police and the rule of law. Trump/GOP have sided with the attackers/defend these criminals, while calling us “thugs”.
The truth is enough...Jan 6 was not an attempted coup or insurrection but it was a really fucked up, violent riot. And if it were BLM And not Trumpers, those supporting the "patriots" now would be up in arms.
I have no words to express the emotions I feel when I see these photos. Overall I feel honored that my family stands next to these men on the side of truth! It hasn’t been easy, but we would do it all over again if we have to.
Thank you to all the men and women who defended the Capitol that day. Even though only a few republicans are willing to stand for truth, the truth will forever remain the truth: YOU WERE ATTACKED AND YOU WON! OUR DEMOCRACY WON THAT DAY BECAUSE OF YOU!
@JoJoFromJerz So let me ask you this. How does the 14 amendment not apply to Trump? He urged an insurrection, watched it for 3 hours and was impeached for an insurrection.. Under the constitution he is DISQUALIFIED to be President! Why wasn’t this used??
Because now we are doomed. 🤦🏼♂️
Kamala Harris certified the result of the election she lost.
She didn’t refuse to concede, didn’t incite an insurrection, didn’t watch silently while our Capitol police were beaten.
She did the right thing.
The democratic thing.
And for that, MAGA is now laughing.
Any questions?
When Hillary lost, she conceded graciously and then went for a walk in the woods.
When Kamala lost, she conceded graciously and then got back work as our VP.
When Trump lost, he wouldn’t concede and then incited a deadly attack on our Capitol.
But yes, tell me more about how women are “too emotional” to lead, won’t you.
