Trump rescinds protections on 59 million acres of national forest to allow logging - The Guardian

Call your senators. Some of them are not happy about selling off our national parks.

Bravo, Macron. Like in 2003 with the Iraq War - France is calling it out.

Today—after the war was supposed to be over, due to the alleged destruction of Iran’s nuclear program—Israel has bombed Shahid Beheshti University (a war crime) and a landmark in Tehran’s Palestine Square (a war crime) and launched the worst bombing of Tehran yet. Israel is out of fucking control.

@annettebeebe.bsky.social Thank you Frank💙 @habsmtlcanadiens.bsky.social @cd3777.bsky.social @djmaro.bsky.social @diannatibbetts.bsky.social @annettebeebe.bsky.social @epennysworth.bsky.social @mrsdeborahlynn.bsky.social @pattyger.bsky.social @brittboosts.bsky.social @bilbow.bsky.social

The number of substantive things democrats can do while locked out of power is quite limited, but stopping this stuff is real and substantive and good.

Travesty

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

🗣️REMINDER: Trump and Republicans are still trying to pass their 3 TRILLION dollar spending bill that would kick 16 million people off of their health insurance and literally take lunches away from school children.    We can’t let them get away with it.

We absolutely must not forget what this administration did to Senator Padilla, because it tells us what they are willing to do to us.

In March.

He did rename a few military bases though.

BREAKING: ICE raids at farms and hotels are back on. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Senator Mike Lee pretended he was on the phone to avoid being confronted by @smith.senate.gov after he mocked assassination victims this weekend. She made sure he heard what she had to say.

Remember who you voted for.

When does the “great” part start?

The incredible Resistance Revival Chorus led by Shaina Taub, Tony-Award winning composer of Suffs the Musical, singing "No Kings in the USA"

NEW: The American Bar Association is suing Trump over his attacks on law firms. Here's a gift link for more info: wapo.st/4le2DLL

Since January 6th, MAGA has been normalizing political violence. Now, after what happened in Minnesota, they’re normalizing political assassinations. We cannot let MAGA turn America into a nation of conspiracy theories and thug violence.

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.

Raindrops on parades and not many people; Trump’s disappointed. Where are his sheeple? Millions of patriots march for NoKings; These are a few of my favorite things.

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

Go Philly, GO! 💥 Crowds are rising up in the city of liberty to say HELL NO to fascism. It isn’t just a protest—it’s *Philadelphia Freedom* in action. Birthplace of the Revolution, still fighting for freedom. #NoKings

… my favorite so far. Thanks @anniemluke.bsky.social ✊🏼💙

they're having a hard time hiding their boredom

Omgggg

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

We talk about pushing through discomfort, but the real breakthrough is in not panicking It’s in slowing down your world, stopping the spiral of your thought & having a calm conversation Resilience lies in observing discomfort instead of reacting to it: stevemagness.substack.com/p/how-to-dea...

The United States of America: No Kings since 1776. Donald Trump: Russian-owned since 1978.

When Congress funded the DOD, there was no line item for big-boy birthday presidential military parades. Where did the money for Trump’s vainglorious spectacle come from? Cutting Army pay and benefits? Reducing training? Or just Departmental slush funds from bloated annual budgets?

Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.

Standing loud and proud with Maine to say there are #NoKings in America! 🇺🇸

The United States must not be drawn into Netanyahu’s illegal war against Iran. I will be introducing legislation to prohibit the use of federal funds for any use of military force in or against Iran without specific Congressional authorization, with an exception for self-defense.

The conditions at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark are untenable. With serious security lapses, numerous reports of mistreatment by staff of detainees, complaints of persistent food shortages, and a troubling lack of transparency from facility administrators…

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Rep. McIver was indicted for doing her job. That's some bullshit. This is political retaliation, plain and simple. Democrats stand with her. You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us.

Uber doesn't give its delivery or ride share drivers health insurance. Uber workers count on federal health care programs that will be cut under the Republican bill.

Russia has abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, plunging families into every parent's worst nightmare. Now, Trump funding cuts threaten to close a Yale center that helps identify these children and bring them home. Please consider donating to help continue this work: sph.yale.edu/give-hrl

#GVerse #BreakingNews: NYPD & ICE mistakenly arrested a Chilean woman who was on vacation in New York City, leaving her 12-year-old daughter on the street alone. This is what happens when you embolden ICE to act with zero oversight. #Shitface47’s America. Share this far and wide! Repost!!!

Dystopian.

I wrote on Substack about my decision to turn my fundraising operations over to support local protest and mobilization. I want to win in 2026, but there is no fair election next year if we don't prioritize stopping Trump's corruption now. www.chrismurphyct.com/p/im-launchi...

Under our Constitution we have no kings, no queens, no emperors, no lords, no serfs, no slaves—just We the People. And those who aspire and attain to public office are nothing but the servants of the people.
