Again!!! It’s all projection and confession with these guys!! $1,000!!?!? To wear a red hat and fill seats 🤣🤣🤣 Although, it’s a thousand dollars in crypto which depending is worthless…
Guess what?! We don’t need compensation to show up to protest. We care enough about the continuation of our democracy that we’ll be there gratis. Our devotion is not to a hate filled ideology, or to a demented old man, or perpetrated by lies.
Our devotion is to the Constitution! Our loyalty is to this nation! Our cause is just. We believe in liberty! In freedom! In the future.
I hope to see you all out in the streets this weekend for Barack Obama appreciation day, that’s June 14th at a town or city near you. For information on events in your area go to, nokings.org
See you there!
🇺🇸
whatever you do, don’t wear a chicken costume or a taco costume or a mask 😉 Also. If you mix equal parts Mylanta, or other liquid antacid with water and have it in a spray bottle it counteracts tear gas when sprayed in the mouth/face.

I'm gonna add to this: I don't care if Trump made anyone rubber stamp anything, you get punished based on what you signed off on. You fuckheads trying to hide behind "they made me" forget that being in the halls of power is not necessary to your survival, so you *chose* to do a very bad thing to preserve your power within an oppressive system.
If you approved a bill you didn't read, you are just as evil as those who did read it. Worse, honestly, because afaic you absolutely did read it, and are now trying to retroactively be opposed to it, and not a damn thing can be said to change my position.
Also someone uninstall JD Vance from reality.
Okay so just to sum up recent events on the US Right:
• Trump starts a contract with Peter Thiel's Palantir company to create a database of ALL INFORMATION on EVERY LIVING AMERICAN
• Its revealed Stephen Miller and Elon Musk have had a very massive fight, supposedly because Elon Musk is sleeping with Miller's wife
• Trump ousts Elon from the administration, after over five months of being besties. Leaves with Stephen Miller's wife, who he just hired at one of his companies (!?)
• Elon starts saying the Big Beautiful Bill sucks
• A GOP Representative reveals that most of them didnt actually get to read the Big Beautiful Bill, GOP leadership basically made them rubber stamp it and they are pissed to find out it makes them all look horrible. A lot of them are now discussing a shakeup in GOP leadership.
• Trump says Elon has "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (🤮)
• Elon escalates massively, stating that Trump is in the Epstein files and THATS why they havent released them yet
• This comes right as Alex Jones loses a massive chunk of his audience because he's endorsing Trump's Palantir contract, and his fans are basically all very concerned about their privacy. They want a new conspiracy to follow and they just got one
• Trump starts threatening Elon's government contracts
• Ian Miles Cheong calls for Trump to be impeached immediately, and for JD Vance to become President. Elon Musk quote retweets this with "Yes"
• JD Vance was mentored by Peter Thiel
• Steve Bannon takes to Fox calling for the immediate deportation of Musk, and making SpaceX a public company

So many people are finding screenshots of celebrities allegedly doing a 'nazi salute,' to try and discredit what people have been saying about Elon Musk.
My favourite most recently has been a picture of Sabrina Carpenter which can easily be discredited.
This is the picture:
Tumblr media
And this is the video:
Yep, it's just a young woman waving to her fans.
And this is why when you ask any of them who post the screenshots for a video, they refuse to add it in. Because they know the video is of somebody doing something very normal.
We are so absolutely screwed.

If it makes any of you feel better, Donald Trump will have an uphill battle to change the constitution. He will need:
-2/3 of Senators (67)
-2/3 of the House of Representatives (290)
-3/4 of the states (38)
In 2026, 33 senate seats will be up for grabs, and we’ll be able to vote for people who are against Trump and his ideals.
Breathe and remain hopeful because it’s not over. We can still fight and make Trump’s last four years hell.

I'd just like to clarify some things about Senator Cory Booker's marathon Senate speech in protest of the present administration and everything they are doing to the American people.
Senator Booker was NOT allowed to sit down, eat, or use the bathroom during his speech. Sitting or leaving the room to use the bathroom would be considered yielding the floor. Eating would have interfered with his speaking and the person who has the floor must continue to speak, except when listening to questions that they will then answer.
He only took occasional sips of water.
The person who previously held the record for longest speech on the Senate floor did have bathroom breaks and also did things like read from the encyclopedia.
Senator Booker did not do that. His speech was to point out the damage that this administration is doing and he stayed on that subject.
Senator Booker's speech did reach many people. It wasn't a silly stunt that was done so that he could take the record for longest speech. He wanted to show the country that democrats will do something to bring attention to the problems we are facing. That democrats are listening to them.
Senator Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and 4 minutes to "make good trouble."
ETA Thanks for all of the reblogs and notes! I hadn't wanted to dirty this post with the name of the former holder of the record for longest time holding the Senate floor, but there are a lot of questions.
Senator Strom Thurmond, a segregationist and white supremacist, held the previous record of 24 hours and 18 minutes when he filibustered the vote on the Civil Rights Act.
Sen. Thurmond had someone put a bucket just outside of the doorway to the cloakroom so that he could keep one foot on the floor while pissing into this bucket, to hold the floor.
Senator Booker would never disrespect the Senate, nor "bend the rules" in such a way.
Because of this Sen. Thurmond could drink coffee or anything else he wanted, as much as he wanted, to keep himself awake, soothe his throat, and keep his mouth from becoming dry.
Senator Booker limited himself to a few sips at a time from two glasses of water at the podium.
Also, Sen. Thurmond began his speech immediately before a vote was to be taken and his speech was specifically to delay that vote. That is the definition of a "filibuster".
Senator Booker's speech was not designed to delay or prevent any vote. He did not know how long he would be physically able to speak. Therefore, his was a speech, not a filibuster.
ETA2: Strom Thurmond did also temporarily yield the floor to a colleague and took a bathroom break at that time. He also had some rye bread and hamburger to eat.
Source
ETA3: So sorry about all of these but I need to include just one more thing.
This is the transcript of Strom Thurmond's filibuster
He read the voting laws of all 48 states (this was 1957). He read from a book called "The History of the Jury Trial" speaking for quite some time about things like the justice system of the Anglo-Saxons. He read from other books, he read from the Declaration of Independence, he read from the Constitution. He yielded the floor for someone to be sworn in. All kinds of things about his filibuster made Senator Booker's speech a far superior feat, not just because it lasted longer.

This is true of a lot of things these days.
What do the culprits care? They’ll all be dead in a 100 years.
What’s being bitched about in a history book to them?
You can’t shame monsters.

It’s not lost on me that Bernie Sanders is the only mainstream politician touring the country rn listening to Americans’ concerns, giving them hope that a better world is still possible. Not campaigning for President, not an election year, just inspiring swing town voters to use their power to incite change in their communities.
Bernie is 83yo, doing the work that every single Democrat could be doing simply in their own district. He’s packing overflow rooms by the thousands in suburban and rural towns, not “democratic strongholds”. It is possible to get through the next four years but the status quo Dems aren’t going to make that happen.
Imagine what a true progressive party could do for the US. Leftist policy is popular and wins elections. Bernie and others have told us this for decades. If you tuned out his message before, I have to wonder what side you’re truly on. Because his shtick has not wavered with everyday Americans.
Not me, us.
