It does seem fake. Or exaggerated for movies. But no. We disappeared for entire days. I walked by myself to school as a kindergartener, about 3/4 of a mile.

“.. This isn't shared sacrifice to address our fiscal trajectory--it's a direct transfer of wealth to the rich.” - @brendanvduke.bsky.social

Please ignore the travel ban stories. It’s a ploy to get your attention away from the budget bill!

As ICE agents make unlawful arrests around the country, many are wondering who will hold these thugs accountable. I look at ICE incidents across America and explain why it needs to be stopped immediately. Watch here: youtu.be/WOMLPeOEjr0

The ignorance of this administration is jaw-dropping. On Wednesday, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) asked Education Secretary Linda McMahon if teaching the Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges counted as “illegal DEI.” McMahon wouldn’t give a straight yes or no. That says everything.

Let’s be honest. It is currently a dictatorship. When Homeland Security can be “creative” with everyone’s rights without Justice saying hold up, and FBI is participating; we are all fucked. The for profit Detention centers are getting 120k a head. They will pay them to hold you

RFK Jr says healthy kids do not need the COVID vaccine. Next up will be all childhood vaccines. PARENTS: Beware. RFK Jr does not know what he is talking about. We give vaccines to keep kids healthy. Vaccines are safe, they work. The diseases they prevent are awful. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/w...

Rep. Crockett IS THAT GIRL!!! She speaks the truth with exacting precision *in laypersons terms*. If the @housedemocrats.bsky.social are smart, they will make @repjasmine.bsky.social the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. She is one of the most effective communicators we have!

The book I really want to read is whatever Pete Buttigieg is hopefully writing. 🤞 Judging by Pete's first two books, it would probably be more focused on introspection, political thought, and lessons for the future than on any gossipy stuff.

This seems important from Jake Sherman

13-yr-old Camarria Williams made a remarkable discovery when she found a compound with potential cancer-fighting properties in goose poop from Garfield Park, Chicago. This surprising find happened while participating in the Chicago Antibiotic Discovery Lab, a STEM program in collaboration with the

It’s called taxing the rich, buddy.

Guess who is going to pay for the tariffs?

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

Go Newark Mayor 💥 Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is suing interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, for false arrest and malicious prosecution.

In fairness to Marjorie Taylor Greene, maybe she *can’t* read. That tracks.

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

What a night. It truly is telling to see who isn’t excited about the destruction of a very significant count of russian nuclear weapons carriers, isn’t it.

“Without the threat of contempt, legal experts say the Trump administration could ignore court orders with impunity.” Project 2025 was once a secret. Now it’s being written into our country.

Did you read the book about Joe’s decline? Big Bill: No because he’s not the president anymore and he did a good job when he was the president.

Zelenskyy Always Knew Who And What He Was Dealing With. Nothing But Admiration For Zelenskyy!!!😊💙🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Similarities between ICE & the Gestapo

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."  —Louis Brandeis

Unitary executive theory (endorsed by John Roberts) is incompatible with democracy; it is an open door for tyrants, autocrats, pharaohs, emperors, kings and popes

“The wealth and income levels are so skewed between very top and bottom that “average” indicators are no longer meaningful. The top 0.1% now own as much of the US wealth as the bottom 90%. The last time that happened was in the 1930s, when populism surged and helped lead to WWII.” -Jonathan Tepper

Spare us the fake outrage.

Marilyn Monroe, born 99 years ago today. When Ella Fitzgerald couldn’t get booked at the Mocambo Club because she was Black, Monroe (at the height of her own fame) called the owner and told him if he booked Ella, she would take a front table every night. And she did. #RIP

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
