Do not forget. Here are the 121 House Republicans who didn’t certify the 2020 election results. Today, they will certify the 2024 election results only because they defend democracy when it suits them. But that’s not how democracy works. We must hold all of them accountable.

Here's your daily reminder to click for Palestine!!!
U.S. residents, take 5 minutes and use this link to pressure your members of Congress to stop sending weapons to the Israeli military!!
(Letter variants you can copy/paste under the cut!!)
Original letter written by Jewish Voice for Peace:
I am writing as your constituent to ask that you do everything in your power to press the Biden administration to suspend all weapons shipments to the Israeli military, and oppose all future military funding to Israel. The Israeli government has vowed to push forward with a large-scale military operation in Rafah, even though President Biden has repeatedly said such an operation would be a "red line." On May 7, the Israeli military seized the Rafah border crossing, a crucial passage for humanitarian aid, and ordered 100,000 Palestinians in eastern Rafah to evacuate. The 1.3 million displaced Palestinians sheltering in Rafah will have nowhere to flee should a full invasion commence. Millions of Palestinian lives now hang in the balance. I urge you to do everything in your power to stop this unfolding catastrophe before it's too late. Thank you.
Slight variations I created (so that emails don't get marked as spam for being identical to each other)
Variation 1:
I'm writing to you as your constituent to ask you to do everything you can to pressure the Biden administration into suspending all weapons shipments to the Israeli military and opposing any and all future military funding to Israel! The Israeli government is pushing forward with a large-scale military operation in Rafah. President Biden has repeatedly said such an operation would be a "red line," yet his administration is still supporting this operation. On May 7th 2024, the Israeli military seized the Rafah border crossing, a crucial passage for humanitarian aid, and forced 100,000 Palestinians in eastern Rafah to abandon their homes. 1.3 million Palestinians have been displaced. Those sheltering in Rafah have nowhere to flee during a full invasion. Millions of Palestinian lives now hang in the balance. Their fate lies in the hands on Congress, in your hands. I urge you to do everything in your power to stop this unfolding catastrophe before it's too late. Thank you.
Variation 2:
I'm writing you today to ask that you do everything in your power to convince the Biden administration to stop funding Israel. We have to telk them to stop all shipments of weapons to the Israeli military and oppose all future military funding to Israel. The Israeli government has vowed to push forward with a large-scale military operation in Rafah... President Biden made it clear that such an operation would be a "red line," and yet he continues to fund them. On May 7th of this year, the Israeli military seized the Rafah border crossing, a crucial passage for humanitarian aid, and forced 100,000 Palestinians to flee their own home of Eastern Rafah. Should a full invasion commence, 1.3 million displaced Palestinians sheltering in Rafah will have nowhere safe to go. Millions of Palestinian lives now hang in the balance. I am begging you now, as your constituent, to do everything in your power to stop this unfolding catastrophe before it's too late... Thank you

Trump has been nothing but a financial, political, and spiritual burden on the United States! What has he ever done, besides give the 1% a giant tax cut adding $5 trillion to the deficit, beneficial for this nation? Honestly! I’d like to know. He inherited a great economy that Obama and Biden spent 8 years fixing from Bush Jr’s catastrophic failures. By the time Trump left office we had record high unemployment, economy in the tank, inflation on the rise. I hear maga say Obama was the most divisive president of all time?! To that I say BULLSHIT!!! He was only divisive if you were a racist. Which apparently is a lot of people.
The only thing Trump has done is grift off this nation, shred the constitution, rig SCOTUS, destroy our reputation, ruin the economy, sell our secrets to Russia, divide this nation like never before, and make a mockery of all who died to protect the rights and freedoms granted to us. So if you hate America, he did quite a bit I suppose.

A small boy asks his Dad, "Daddy, what is politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me Capitalism.
Your mom, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government.
We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the People.
The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future.
Now, think about that and see if that makes sense." So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. The little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father having sex with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now." The father says, "Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about." The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in Deep Shit."

"The contempt of that large-minded gentleman is so wilting, his haughty disdain, his grandiloquent swell, his majestic, supereminent, turkey-gobbler strut has been so crushing to myself and all the members of the House...The resemblance is great. It is striking. Hyperion to a satyr, Thersites to Hercules, mud to marble, dunghill to diamond, a singed cat to a Bengal tiger, a whining puppy to a roaring lion."
-- James G. Blaine, eviscerating fellow Congressman Roscoe Conkling, during a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, April 30, 1866.
The feud between Blaine and Conkling -- who each had close connections with various post-Civil War Republican Presidents -- is one of the great political rivalries of American history. Blaine's eloquent (and vicious) attack of Conkling and mention of Conkling's "turkey-gobbler strut" would result in classic caricatures of Conkling in political cartoons that would annoy him for the rest of his life:

Good morning lovelies
I’m going to be blunt and straight to the point - the election results are horrifying. As a woman who has personally needed an abortion. As a woman who identifies as queer. As a WOMAN this is horrifying.
I’m lucky enough to say I’m in a hetero- appearing relationship so my love life isn’t directly impacted AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME.
MANY of my friends and family will not be able to say the same thing.
I have a transgender sister receiving gender affirming care. This will soon be removed by project 2025
I cannot even begin to imagine how much this is going to change our country. All I can say is I’m scared. I’m sure a lot of other people are scared too. We must remember to stay alive and keep fighting. We must be strong and we must have a voice.
Be kind to yourself today 🤍

Johnson says House Republicans will investigate Jan. 6 committee
BY TARA SUTER - 01/02/25 9:54 PM ET
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Thursday that House Republicans will investigate the disbanded House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Johnson hit President Biden in a post on the social platform X for awarding the Presidential Citizens Medal to former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), both of whom were Jan. 6 committee members.
Responding to another post from the New York Post about Cheney and Thompson, the Louisiana Republican said the president “is foolishly giving an award to members of Congress who intentionally and repeatedly lied to the American people.”
“The Jan 6 Select Committee manipulated AND destroyed evidence – created a fake, phony narrative all to try and hurt Trump,” Johnson added. “They even hired a TV producer from the legacy media in a desperate attempt to legitimize what Americans knew was a total hoax and complete waste of time.”
“Be assured of this: House Republicans WILL continue our investigation into this corrupt committee and it will be FULLY FUNDED so it can continue next Congress,” he continued.
In mid-December, Republicans released a report evaluating the “failures and politicization” of the Jan. 6 committee, rounding off their investigation by recommending a criminal investigation into Cheney.

I just want to clear something up because I hear this crap from all you treasonous maga out there, “we’re not a democracy, we’re a republic.” Guess what? I can watch Fox News too and regurgitate bullsh*t talking points and sound like a dumb*ss. I’d rather think critically, do research, come to a conclusive answer. This screenshot is from the civics lessons you have to take to become an American citizen (hence govinfo.gov).
So according to the government of the United States, the United States is federal representative democratic republic under the constitution.
No matter what propaganda sh*t Jesse Watters or Sean Hannity tries to spew. This is what our government says our government is. Hope we can move on from this, and yall will shutup.
Thanks 👍
Every intelligent, patriotic American

How to react Russia's aggression in Ukraine and also in other countries it's to support Ukraine, it's allow Ukraine to use the weapons they already have the way they need to use them
I'm almost on the verge of tears because of acknowledgment.
Tumblr media
The President of Ukraine and the Prime Minister of Spain signed a bilateral agreement on security cooperation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
According to the Presidential Administration, the agreement provides for €1 billion in military assistance to Ukraine through 2024, including, in particular, the provision of Patriot missiles and Leopard tanks for a total of €1.1 billion. The people of Ukraine feel enormous gratefulness for such immense and important support!
Also, we receive Spain support throughout the 10-year term of the document.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also said that by 2027, Spain would provide another €5 billion in aid through the European Peace Fund.

Always spot on👏🫂😌
