www.salon.com/2025/06/04/j... Hey Iowa, Dem. state rep J.D. Scholten got shout out on The Rick Smith show on FreeSpeech TV.

Congratulations! 🏳️‍🌈 bit.ly/4mOnwig

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Dozens of companies who sponsored Pride marches last year have pulled out this year, including: Dyson Nivea Tiffany & Co. Capital One UPS Disney DoorDash Live Nation Nissan Citi Corporate Pride was always a hoax. https://popular.info/p/pride-and-prejudice-in-corporate

We ❤️ Canada 🇨🇦 We are fighting fascism and need all the support we can get

They called her a mad cat woman and tried to destroy her reputation. Then they dragged her through the courts and tried to destroy her life. But @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is standing tall and continues telling the inconvenient truth. A must see. youtu.be/vG7CvbccdVM?...

How many times don't we use this to bombard the rt wing with it? This might actually get through. I had a full ride to a great NYS school- if you didn't, tuition was, get this- under $300. This is what fully funded by taxes can do.

This is a shit ton more cost-effective than what is happening in the United States right now.

Trump's Big Bill: -Expands his power to ignore court rulings -Gives the ultra-wealthy an even bigger estate tax break -Disqualifies nearly 2M children from the child tax credit -Adds unnecessary red tape that would kick millions of people off Medicaid It's a big, ugly mess.

How republicans have and are destroying education. Republicans are not good for America!

‼️‼️

As of May 29, 2025, ICE has 635 active agreements in 40 states—deputizing local cops to act as ICE. Do you have idea what just happened? Thousands of these asshole thugs will be deputized as ICE agents from all over 40 states! Be careful who you talk to, they could be working for ICE. WTF 🤬

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

Peter Thiel: the name not enough people know

“The Trump administration is escalating its campaign against Harvard University — and looking for new ways to bring the storied institution to heel.” This is exactly what Viktor Orban did in Hungary - it’s what tyrants and aspiring dictators have always done www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

NEW: In the wake of ballot measures that increased abortion access and improved sick leave for workers, a coordinated effort is unfolding across the country to restrict direct democracy — and shift power to partisan legislatures.

New Column: Trump keeps losing court cases cuz, well, he keeps breaking the law. Pretty simple. newrepublic.com/post/195906/... via @newrepublic.com

We’re not falling for the propaganda Trump and MAGA Republicans are pushing 🚫

Hey Iowa, here is your immoral senator.

This week Israeli military bombed a school turned shelter in Gaza, killing more than 50 by burning them alive. Yet, Wash Post, NYT, & Reuters all whitewashed the atrocity.It is critical we invest in tools to ensure the media we consume is accurate. Here's how: www.qasimrashid.com/p/when-media...

So, let's talk about transgender in the Catholic Church, shall we? A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO @johnfugelsang.bsky.social for having a conversation that led me to finding this, amongst other gems of transgendered folk who are saints! ucatholic.com/blog/this-fe...

#ProudBlue Bravo! 👏 More of this, please.

I ran for office as a progressive Democrat in very rural, very red Missouri. I didn’t win. I was able to move the needle a few points, but the point isn’t always winning–the point is always running. No seat uncontested. bluemissouri.org/jessica-pipe...
