Manage? I don’t think so.

700 rural hospitals will possibly close completely if the Republican budget bill passes. That's a cataclysm for rural America - where lots of Trump's voters (maybe former voters?) live.

😂This fiasco looks like it should have been a rehearsal. I bet he’ll never get over it. (Remember, he’s still pissed off about the tiny hands comment decades ago.) I love it. I’d love to be a fly on the wall at a cocktail party at the G7. Let’s keep this circulating.

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

I think the folks looking at the footage from DJT's Silly Sad Parade and saying our troops don't know how to march are missing the point. *Of course* they know how to march. Many of them didn't. They simply walked. That speaks volumes. There are many ways to get in the way.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

Does anyone think these unspeakably evil political assassinations of Democratic lawmakers would’ve occurred without the vicious permission structure erected by Trump, Vance, Rubio, and their MAGAts? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

We're going to see quite a split screen today: Millions protesting peacefully in defense of democracy, and a would-be dictator ordering tanks to tear up DC streets to make him feel powerful. It's obvious what the right side is. Be on it.

Youngkin - worst Virginia governor since "Massive Resistance" - is clearly aiming to interfere with people's First Amendment rights. No Virginian should put up with this crap. bluevirginia.us/2025/06/youn... h/t @RichmondDems

Hit the streets tomorrow. Be nonviolent. Be joyfully defiant. Be defiantly joyful. Ridicule him. Condemn fascism. Oppose I.C.E. Affirm diversity. Embody America. Love your neighbor. Refuse to be intimidated. Be safe. Be loud. Be encouraged. #NoKingsDay

Trump’s mass ICE raids aren’t about safety—they’re about fear. Instead of prioritizing violent criminals, they're grabbing anyone they can to meet Trump's quotas.

Remember to record EVERYTHING tomorrow. Film the massive crowds, film any clashes with agitators (do not take their bait), film law enforcement breaking the law. Plaster social media, make it undeniable that there are more of us than them.

i don’t have time to mourn the loss and destruction of the US Constitution. I have to prepare to fight for the reinstating of the US Constitution. Sigh.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

No one likes the idea of living through violent social upheaval but do you prefer the idea of spending the rest of your life with your head down? watching neighbors vanish? wondering who's next? I don't at a certain we owe ourselves and everyone who comes afterwards a tall glass of courage

Listen. @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social sounds damn good. And her experience/preparation for the job is head & shoulders above the other candidates. Not sure why she’s not getting media ink & support too. Assume it’s that she’s measured & not super charismatic.

Resign now, Kristi Noem.
