It's not every day that senators ask the attorney general to appoint a special counsel to criminally investigate a sitting Supreme Court justice.

What's more, the case against Clarence Thomas is quite credible. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Happy independence day to all who remember why we declared independence and a very fuck off to those who think kings are good actually.

regardless of what you think of America there are a lot of good people here worth fighting for, and that’s what I’m going to hold onto regardless of what happens in November and those people are worth celebrating

i'm sorry, this is an area where i am just completely unwilling to compromise. i think speeding and reckless driving are profoundly antisocial acts that are DEMONSTRABLY PROVEN to result in TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DEATHS every year in car and pedestrian crashes. this seems bad to me.

Bump stocks have no purpose outside of mass shootings, but the Republicans on the Supreme Court believe there's a fundamental right to commit mass shootings, and now we all have to live with that while they party on billionaire's yachts and ranches.

The Supreme Court’s “ah, so sorry, a gun that looks and works and kills like a machine gun technically isn’t a machine gun” opinion is really high on the list of opinions that normal people read and are like “what the fuck are you people talking about” ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/garla...

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

patriot front is marching unopposed in West Virginia right now no police in sight. People really need to be asking why neo-Nazis are allowed to march with impunity while peaceful students protesting against genocide are being beaten, mercilessly and treated like a invading army.

It is undeniably entertaining how Trump reserves his harshest humiliations for the creatures who most abase themselves to him.

University presidents have lost their f**king mind. They just wasted the biggest public teaching moment in decades because they are too lazy to actually do any educating and risk the loss of some dirty money from dirty (or cheesy) donors. Just insane.

The protestors should have put up a sign reading “ELEMENTARY SCHOOL—LONE GUNMAN INSIDE” which I hear is very effective in Texas at keeping cops off the property for hours.

It was really something to hear the Supreme Court talk about protecting "unborn children" while police arrested dozens of peacefully protesting kids today
