Our elected reps could be the heroes who saved Social Security if they just scrapped the cap. It would be nice if they kept hearing from people encouraging this.

I just walked into a Trump store in southern Missouri. I picked up a few items and saw that they were made in China. The place was full. I asked loudly if anything in the store was made in America. She said no. For emphasis, I said again, so nothing in the store is made in America? She said no 🤷🏼‍♀️

Who else remembers and loved Aunt Crabby?

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

Tomorrow is Juneteenth. While some are trying to erase our history, facts are facts and memories are long. Family folklore is a powerful tool in preserving and honoring our past. Learn our stories. Pass them down. Share them with others. And CELEBRATE. nmaahc.si.edu/explore/mome....

The Tucker Carlson / Ted Cruz video really illustrates how Tucker has known all along that he and everyone around him have always been full of shit

For those who say “Illegal is illegal.” On this Juneteenth, remember: slavery was once legal. Harboring a fugitive enslaved person? Illegal. Black freedom? Illegal. “Illegal is illegal” has always been used to defend injustice. Legality ≠ morality. Justice calls us higher.

True

Good. And shame on the 27 who made it something that had to be vetoed.

I sometimes feel like I’m repeating myself or stating the obvious when I talk about how supply and demand applies to housing. I wish! Disbelieving supply and demand in the specific case of housing is actually incredibly widespread.

Former Oath Keeper is running for California Governor. No! Absolutely not! Chad Bianco shouldn’t even be sheriff, let alone running the whole state. 📌 The Oath Keepers are tied to racism, extremism, and white supremacy. Don’t let the badge fool you.

Democratic Party electeds are going to be standing outside the gates of death camps watching smoke billow out of crematoria, and they'll still be saying "We demand answers!"

Victor Avila, a 66-year-old legal assistant — and a green card holder for 58 years — was detained after visiting his son, who is a member of the U.S. Air Force.

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

Told my wife about today's Supreme Court decision to punish my child for being who they are and she flashed a smile of defiance that could shatter glass. They haven't made us sad, they've made us angry, and we are ready to fight

Had jury duty this week. The defendant had committed five armed robberies WITH A MACHINE GUN. When asked what I think about firearms, I said: "I think the Second Amendment is one of the stupidest things America ever did, other than the way activist judge Antonin Scalia willfully misinterpreted it."

After years of work to help Crested Butte keep its post office, I am relieved to hear that it will remain open until 2031. I'm hopeful this gives USPS more time to find a permanent solution. This is a vital step to maintaining consistent mail delivery for the northern Gunnison Valley.

The ONLY thing to take away from that Tucker Carlson - Ted Cruz clip is that Tucker Carlson is fully capable of knowing how to question fucked up things, he just chooses not to do it because he’s a complete sellout and his soul is bought and paid for. Please do not “welcome him to the resistance”.

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

Republicans just elected a neocon who's stripping healthcare from 14 million Americans and exploding the deficit by $4 trillion to pay for another war in the middle east.

It's important to understand the irreparable harm argument against deploying the national guard in California. Trump is taking essential personnel away from fighting fires and drug trafficking to guard federal buildings against no one. Immigrants aren't the danger. Trump is.

So the UnSupreme Court is at it again I see by not allowing parents their parental rights. Fuck these people but wearing a mask was a parents choice…Fuck them!!

It was always a crystal clear 100% certainty that if the orange convicted felon was sent back into the White House instead of being sent to prison that he would bring the United States into war, economic collapse and total chaos. This is on everyone who voted for him.

You lose healthcare. They gain yachts. Keep spreading the word.

I wonder if the Latino voters are finally appreciating what the Black folks have been telling them for years: It’s the racism. It’s the genetics. The GOP never did give a fuck about “legality.” They want to eliminate black and brown people because we aren’t white. That’s it. That’s all.

Not. Ever.

Rest of the world is obviously not taking the President of the US seriously or literally on tariffs or war. They believe him to be a corrupt, confused, easily manipulated, frail old man.

That’s exactly what this is about. Distraction. For all of this and that lame duck, low energy spectacle
