@PaulRieckhoff @iwishkate 💙💙💙🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 We stand with Ukraine.

JD Vance is more of a national disgrace by the day. He loves Orban and Putin. And hates Ukraine and freedom. Time and time again. He’s a compromised and corrupted sellout. And he does not speak for most of us here in America. And especially most American veterans—who appreciate the courage, tenacity, ingenuity and urgency of Ukraine. Vance does not stand with Ukraine. But most of us in America do.🇺🇸🇺🇦

It’s a pretty fascinating look at this guy’s soul that he just tends to strip everything of beauty and replace it with tacky artifice

Not only has he read it, he lives it!

It wasn’t a picture of me as Jesus it was a picture of me as a doctor because I help a lot of people.

If you MAGA clowns are coming for Ruben Gallego with "Why didn't you know about your friend," WAIT UNTIL YOU FIND OUT WHAT TRUMP KNEW ABOUT HIS FRIEND JEFFREY EPSTEIN. "A pal is a wonderful thing."

As we all know, the natural habitat for idiots is the Trump administration.

Farmers voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump. The Farm Bureau reports today that farmers can't afford to buy the fertilizer needed for this year's crops.

🚨JUST IN: The leader of Britain’s Liberal Democrats just said it on the record. “Donald Trump is no leader of the free world. He’s a dangerous and corrupt gangster.” He’s also calling on Keir Starmer to cancel the King’s state visit to Washington before it’s too late.

The same people who say the Pope should stay out of politics want to force prayer and the Ten Commandments in public schools

If the United States wasn’t so polarized, this man would be (rightfully) lionized and idolized as a one of the greatest world leaders of the 21st Century. I pray one day he will get his due.

@BY1959 Indeed

These Motherfuckers are Insane.

As a reminder. Trump directed aid to Hungary. Orban then gave money to CPAC.

Dear @TheJusticeDept: Here is a website that lists cult recovery resources. cultrecovery101.com/recovery-links/ Please share with Acting AG Todd Blanche for the day when he decides to pull his head out from where the sun doesn’t shine and wants out of the cult. I love you too, sir.

@LeahRemini @PrezLives2022 CONGRATULATIONS. What a marvelous achievement.

I graduated!!! I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a concentration in Psychology, summa cum laude! Five years ago, I started this journey with an eighth-grade education, and even that was from a Scientology school, where critical thinking was discouraged and the quality of instruction was subpar, to say the least. I did not get here alone. Thank you to @NYUSPS and @DeanKamath. Thank you to everyone who supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me, especially on the days I was not sure I could do this. And there were plenty of those days. To my therapist, who told me not to give up when I was told I likely would not be accepted into a prestigious program. To my tutor, without whom I likely would have given up at the harder points along the way. To all those here who have sent me loving messages on social media. And to everyone else who has cheered me on in person through the ups and the downs of it, it means more than I can put into words. It got me over this finish line of being a student again and graduating. That goal once seemed impossible. To those who have asked me, “Why this? Why now?” I pursued higher education to reclaim a piece of myself. When you come out of a high-control group like Scientology, or even a high-control family, there are parts of you that were never allowed to fully develop. Those parts include your curiosity and your ability and right to question. Education was discouraged because knowledge creates confidence in your ability to trust your own mind and navigate the world. That leads to true independence, and that would never be allowed. I wanted that back. But more than that, I needed to understand. I needed to understand how my mother could have us join Scientology when I was just eight years old, and how my family and I could be part of something like this and stay in it for so long. I needed to understand how these systems work, how they influence people, and how they take hold. Without education, access to real information, and support, people can fall into systems that work against their best interests. Some assume that because they are educated, even highly educated, they would never fall for something like this. But it turns out that is not necessarily true. What many of us are impacted by, but never quite understand, is how high-control groups operate. Many still do not understand how misinformation spreads, and how tribalism and radicalization shape what we think, what we believe, and who and what we trust. Without that awareness, none of us are immune. Today, we are seeing how these forces can influence good people and distort reality. History has shown us that this is not new; it just comes in a different form now. Social media connects us in ways we never imagined, but it also creates echo chambers that reinforce beliefs and justify behavior without question. Real critical thinking is hard when we are fed so much by algorithms designed to appeal to us. In learning and achieving this milestone in my own life, it has helped me take a good, hard look at my own beliefs and ideologies. This journey was about healing for me, but also about figuring out how to help others in whatever way I can in the future. So what is in my future? I am considering continuing my education and possibly pursuing a master’s degree, with the goal of contributing to advocacy and policies that protect people, not systems. For now, I am taking this moment in. I am proud of myself. And I am grateful. Thank you for being on this journey with me.

@mehdirhasan @kurtbardella Really? Sounds sort of familiar but my suspicion is that this is a Republican tactic.

Every Republican accusation is a confession.

Every time I think about what these two brilliant women could’ve done for America, and how the nation said, “Nah— we’ll take the corrupt, racist, sex-abusing, demented, malignant narcissist”— it fills me with indescribable sadness and rage.

America is not great; we are being exploited for profit. Our health, our food, our housing our planet all being exploited by a very few.
