SCOOP: The "Appeal To Heaven" flag, a popular symbol for Christian nationalists that was waved by January 6 rioters, was raised over the Small Business Administration headquarters last week.

Looks like Mabrey still belongs at Chicago. Do something #wnba

Please call ICE and DHS Trump’s Secret Police. Because that’s what they are. No ID, no uniforms, no names, no warrants, no legal authority to grab people. They are Secret Police #Fascists

The Senate bill would cut Medicaid "far more aggressively" than the House bill: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

Drs at VA “…hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order…” 🧵1 tinyurl.com/z3rwh27z

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔 PLAN for OFFICE of REMIGRATION 🚩 🚦 REMIGRATION is a FAR RIGHT plan to MASS DEPORT non-WHITE immigrants to their place of RACIAL ANCESTRY…🚦 REGARDLESS of CITIZENSHIP 🚫 ‼️ It’s a POLICY “with the GOAL of creating WHITE ETHNOSTATES in western countries. 👺 www.mediamatters.org/immigration/...

and Trump is staging a fucking parade and a bully action in LA when there is a war breaking out in the Middle East. How insanely irresponsible and dangerous he is.

Tanks in DC Troops in LA. A military parade on his birthday. Trump is done pretending. This is what authoritarianism looks like in America. My latest on why we must speak out now — before silence becomes complicity. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/authoritar...

Well we still have famine to look forward to. How great for us.

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

When someone like Vindman is saying this, things are dark. He’s not posting 4th hand information. Don’t consult your hope when assessing what’s up ahead. It will lead you astray. Base your plans on reality.

Powerful Thank you United Farm Workers @ufw.bsky.social

The LAPD are corrupted and they will blame this damage on the protesters.

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

He'll call them off after his bill passes. What a huge distraction.

Uber app deleted while saying fuck you. BOYCOTT ALERT 🔔 Nothing like having family that FLED another country, making billions here and turning on the American people propping up a dictator — CEO Dara Khosrowshahi of Uber also sits on the board of Hotels dot com and BET dot com. Fuck them, too.

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Why aren’t you standing up for state’s rights now skank?!

Where i work, if you blamed someone else for all the supposed failures in your area, you would be fired. It shows complete incompetence. Try listening to even one Republican interview and how many times they say "Biden" or "Democrats." Don't try to make a drinking game out of it.

@politicojoe.bsky.social Yea, it’s racism. Always has been

Kristi Noem in Feb 2024: If Biden federalizes the National Guard [to handle border issues], we’ve got a war on our hands.”l Kristi Noem in 2025 as DHS Secretary: …federalizing the National Guard.

We don't have secret police in America. At least we're not supposed to.

Trump’s budget eviscerates science funding. It slashes NIH and NSF to appease anti-intellectual fuckery. Cancer research and space exploration gasp for breath. Americans pay for his antiscience vendetta. www.motherjones.com/...

🚨 ATTN NEW JERSEY 🚨 GOP gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli says “SO SORRY” to the thousands of snowbirds & 50% of all NJ college students. Under a Ciattarelli governorship, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE BY MAIL.

Should be more conversation about how the project 2025 folks orchestrating the destruction of U.S. science- Russell Vought, for example, are evangelicals who have long seen science as a threat to the dominion of the Church. They are creationists, and now they control the budget.

Pure AWESOMENESS…👇 Pass. It. On. 😎✨

I can't remember a more insulting commercial than the Google dad commercial running now. For decades woman have been denied employment for taking time off to raise children. "No marketable skills, too much time out of the workforce, outdated tech abilities, etc.

Well payed, Harvard, well played. Harvard offers FREE American Government course.

@indianafever.bsky.social Fever stand no chance. Two back to back atrocious games. No one can make shots or free throws, total confusion, leaving key opposing shooters wide open, and only Boston can catch a Clark pass.

Ansari: I sit on the Natural Resources Committee, where we witnessed the most anti-environment legislation go through. It includes massive giveaways to the oil and gas industry. I discovered that the chairman had purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of oil and gas stocks.

“We are heartbroken to announce we have to cancel our upcoming European tour,” wrote Texas psych-rockers Lord Buffalo. “Our drummer, Yamal Said, who is a Mexican citizen & lawful permanent resident of the US, was forcibly removed from our flight to Europe by CBP at Dallas/Fort Worth Int’l Airport.”

Think we could, I don’t know, LISTEN TO HER THIS TIME??

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

This white genocide debacle highlights another reason to be extremely cautious of AI that I don't see people talking about much--if you're getting your information from AI, your knowledge will be selectively curated by the people who control the AI

Senate Republicans promised to keep the filibuster after winning back the chamber in November. Now they’re rapidly moving to kill it—shattering a precedent they defended vociferously for four years under Biden. And once they’ve crossed the Rubicon, there’s no going back. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I'm sure Pam Bondi will be cleared of any wrongdoing by Pam Bondi
