Gas is $3.50 a gallon, butter is $6 bucks a pound, eggs are $4 bucks a dozen, we’re at war with Iran, South African Nazis stole all our data, and ICE is throwing citizens in detention camps. But hey, at least those 3 trans kids can’t play volleyball anymore.

We’ll never know what could have been, but we do know they chose to believe him and not her, and now they are making up excuses for their votes that put us all in harm’s way. Don’t think this is a one-off.

Today we honor Juneteenth, a reminder that freedom was fought for, not given. We must honor the past by continuing to fight every day for justice, truth, and equality.

The huge increase in the national debt America currently has been largely done under the Bush and Trump administrations. Giving huge tax cuts to the rich while the burden falls on hard working American families. Republicans have been driving the US into bankruptcy due to pure unchecked greed.

Rule of thumb: if there’s more people in the parade than there are people watching the parade, it’s not a successful parade.

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

Banning children’s books and arresting librarians because of LGBTQ+ content doesn’t protect kids and prevent indoctrination, it protects bigots and is indoctrination. I hope this clarification helps. popular.info/p/florida-of...

If you know anyone in the National Guard, send this video to them. They do not have to follow orders that will hurt their fellow countrymen. They can fight this legally. Please remember, the National Guard takes the same pledge to our Constitution as the rest of our military. #SheShed #LosAngeles

Note from a human rights lawyer to members of the U.S. military: If directed to execute illegal orders, remember, declaring “I was just following orders” was not a valid defense during the Nuremberg trials, & it won’t be here either. Your oath is to the US Constitution—not to a 34X convicted felon.

Trump is now targeting states he sees as "democrat". Trump is preparing to cancel federal funding for California, however, California sends more than $80 billion to the Federal government yearly to keep nearly a dozen Republican majority states from collapsing.

BREAKING: John Morales just went on air in South Florida and told the truth: hurricane forecasting models are underfunded and outdated. Translation: The U.S. government cut the budget so deep, even seasoned meteorologists can’t track deadly storms. You’re not safe. And they do. Not. Care.

I fight back so other people who care know they are not alone. It's like we're all passengers on a runaway train & the engineer is listening to a crowd that cheers every time he goes faster. Maybe we can't stop the sun from setting but we can choose how we stand in its fading light. #Resist

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

So grateful to Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott. So many Democrats are obeying in advance on this issue. MD state Democrats caved on it. Mayor Bowser is caving on it. I'm grateful he has the courage & integrity to do the right thing. Seeing Democrats throw immigrants under the bus is awful.

This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave everything in service to this country. As we pause to reflect, let’s remember: the best way to honor the fallen is to stand up for the living—by ensuring our veterans & their families get the care, respect, & resources they need to thrive.

Too many folks would rather burn it all down than elect a Black woman to lead this country. And until we have a reckoning with the fact that we are still a deeply racist and sexist nation, we will not get it right. Too many are in deep denial.

Rand Paul: "Somebody has to stand up and yell, 'the emperor has no clothes.' Everybody is falling in lockstep on this -- 'Pass the big beautiful bill. Don't question anything.' Well, conservatives do need to stand up ... if we don't stand up on it, I really fear the direction the country is going."
