Lawrence O’Donnell on Obama vs. Trump: “Humanity, dignity, and amazing presidential grace. And then came Donald Trump. Disgraceful, heartless, vulgarity, relentless stupidity and cruelty. Donald Trump is the loser in that comparison in every possible way”

Michelle Obama just delivered one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard. She upheld her husband’s legacy, defended the dignity of all people, appealed to our better angels, & reminded us of the America that we could be. What a contrast to the depravity occupying the White House.

A pack of cops arresting a kid saying “I need to get to school so I can take my tests” for trying to cut through the parade route that has frozen lower Manhattan (but students don’t get a day off). Shitshow.

RT @saymaysmith: This gentleman served his country with honor for half a century. If you disrespect him that’s an indictment of your charac…

History. Hope. Grace. The Obamas reminded us that leadership can be intelligent, compassionate, and inspiring. Their legacy continues…

NEW AD: Congratulations, Gov. Brian Kemp. Your own party stopped rigging Georgia's maps. But you won't – you're still set on silencing Black and brown voters, and dragging Georgia back to the Old South. Airing on TV during today's 12pm World Cup match in Atlanta.

Rep. Larson said it perfectly: Trump’s team brags about sending below-poverty Social Security checks “more efficiently.” Efficiently. 5 million Americans — mostly women — can’t live on their checks and the best corrupt Republicans offer is faster delivery of not enough. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

RETWEET if you love President Obama!

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others and see government as nothing more than a way to divvy up the spoils and punish enemies, and keep those who are different in their place. I do not believe that is the story of America that prevails in the end.

A tech exec making a million dollars stops paying into Social Security in March. A school teacher pays in every single paycheck all year long. That’s the rigged system. Make the wealthy pay their fair share and Social Security is saved. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Remember those horrific pictures of Jews liberated from Auschwitz? This isn't one. This is a Palestinian man released after 26 months of Israeli "administrative detention." No charge. No trial. No legal rights. "Never again" sounds noble. It just turns out it was never meant to apply to everyone. The Israeli government currently holds roughly 3,500 Palestinians under this system, and has issued more than 100,000 such detention orders since 1967. October 7th wasn't the start of this. It was a reaction to it. Why don't we hear anything about this?

RETWEET if you support Barack Obama!

The mother of Kohen Wiley, the 1-year-old baby who was murdered by police at Walmart, is speaking out and says her friend used self-check out to buy the diapers and that her friend did not drive toward the cops. This was murder and the cops lied to try to cover it up.

How fucking racist do you have to be

We're not crying, you are.🥹 Michelle Obama stepped to that podium and gave her husband every single flower he deserved. She spoke directly to Barack and brought him to tears. This is what love and legacy look like. 🖤

Just a lil reminder 👇🏽

My father walked out on my family when I was a kid. My mother raised us. I made my own way, joined the Marines, and built a life he had no part in. There are thousands of American boys doing the same thing right now, growing up determined to be better men than the fathers who left them. Kari Lake decided to take the hardest part of my family’s life and turn it into a weapon. She has claimed for years that I'm controlled by the cartels because of my father. I am not ashamed of where I come from. Kari Lake should be ashamed of what she is willing to say to get ahead. Thank you to @SenTimKaine for calling it how it is.
